Brown algae are the major seaweeds of the temperate and polar regions. Many brown algae, such as members of the order Fucales, commonly grow along rocky seashores. Most brown algae live in marine environments, where they play an important role both as …

Previous studies focusing brown seaweed-fortified products have demonstrated that in general, macroalgae can improve the nutritional value of the food products, either by incrementing levels of dietary fibres and/or minerals or their lipidic profiles.

Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) have been consumed by humans for hundreds of years. Current studies have shown that brown algae are rich sources of bioactive compounds with excellent nutritional value, and are considered functional foods with health benefits.

Macroalgae are a diverse group of multicellular marine organisms with a long history of cultivation and traditional use in different regions of the world. They are classified into three major phyla based on their photosynthetic pigments: red algae (Rhodophyta), green algae (Chlorophyta), and brown algae (Ochrophyta) . Each of these phyla has ...

While glaciations periodically erase and re-distribute genetic lineages, they also promote evolutionary novelty, and have played an important role in promoting allopatric lineage divergence in the brown macroalgae during the Pleistocene (2.6 Ma–12 ka).

Macroalgae popularly known as seaweeds are multicellular and macroscopic autotrophs which are taxonomically categorized in three distinct groups based on their color of the thallus: Chlorophyta (green algae), Rhodophyta (red algae), and phaeophyta (brown algae).

Jun 24, 2024 · Brown macroalgae (purple; 185 species) are predicted to lose a higher percentage of their present area of occupancy than seagrasses (pink; 22 species) but expand less than seagrasses.

Aug 24, 2021 · Brown macroalgae (class Phaeophyceae) are a group of multicellular algae that usually occupy relatively deep waters preferentially from the sub-polar to equatorial regions and are characterized by the presence of fucoxanthin, a carotenoid pigment responsible for their brownish color, and laminarin, their main storage product.

Oct 20, 2023 · This study provides evidence of tissue growth and indication of photophysiological activity in red, green, and brown macroalgae during the Polar Night, complementing biodiversity and areal...

There are generally three groups or types of macroalgae: red macros, green macros, and brown macros. Some common kind of macroalgaes are Chaetomorpha (Chaetomorpha linum), Sea lettuce (Ulva lactuca), and Pom Pom Gracilaria (Gracilaria …
