Cyanobacteria and algae having complex photosynthetic systems can channelize absorbed
solar energy into other forms of energy for production of food and metabolites. In addition …

Seaweeds are macroalgae, which can be of many different morphologies, sizes, colors, and
chemical profiles. They include brown, red, and green seaweeds. Brown seaweeds have …

Aquatic Photosynthesis is a comprehensive guide to understanding the evolution and

Abstract Natural chlorine-, bromine-, iodine-, and fluorine-containing organic chemical
compounds are abundant on our planet. Occurring on land, in the oceans, and in the …

Ocean water is approximately 0.5 M in chloride, 1 mM in bromide, and 1 mM in iodide. Given
the high halogen content, it is not surprisingthat marine organisms have developed means …

Brown algae adsorb a considerable amount of CO 2 and store carbon in their biomass more
than many other algae species. Nowadays, depletion of fossil fuel resources, greenhouse …

This review about the genus Laminaria sensu lato summarizes the extensive literature that
has been published since the overview of the genus given by Kain in 1979. The recent …

The oceans contribute significantly to the global emissions of a number of atmospherically
important volatile gases, notably those containing sulfur, nitrogen and halogens. Such gases …

Measurements of gaseous organic iodine1 and inorganic and particulate iodine2, 3 made
several decades ago indicated that volatilization of organic iodides from the ocean provides …

The ecological interactions of brown algae are important as these macroalgae are common
and often keystone members in many benthic marine communities. This review highlights …
