Optimizing the fucoidan extraction using Box-Behnken Design and its potential bioactivity.

Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide that occurs naturally in the cell wall of brown seaweeds and has substantial biological efficacy. Optimizing the extraction of fucoidan from different brown seaweeds was the primary goal of this research. The optimization of fucoidan extraction was applied on the brown macroalga Turbinaria turbinata using a Box-Behnken Design (BBD) to inspect the impacts of different pH (3, 5, 7), temperature (70, 80, 90 °C) and extraction duration (60, 120, 180 min) on both the yield and sulfate content of fucoidan.

Enhancing the biodiesel production in the green alga Chlorella vulgaris by heavy metal stress and prediction of fuel properties from fatty acid profiles.

The green microalga Chlorella vulgaris was used as a test organism during this study for evaluation of the impact of different heavy metal stress, Mn, Co, and Zn, on enhancing the biodiesel production. The algal cultures were grown for 13 days under heavy metal stress after which were subjected to estimation of growth, some primary metabolites, lipid, and fatty acid profiles. The maximum lipid accumulation (283.

Preparation and characterization of bioplastic film from the green seaweed Halimeda opuntia.

Protein-rich seaweeds are regarded as having commercial significance due to their numerous industrial applications. The green seaweed Halimeda opuntia was used during this study for the preparation of bioplastic film. A thin bioplastic film with better physical and mechanical properties was produced by optimizing the ratio of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to seaweed biomass.

New Halogenated Compounds from Seaweed with Potential Inhibitory Activity against Malaria.

Malaria is one of the most important infectious diseases worldwide. The causative of the most severe forms of malaria, , has developed resistances against all the available antimalarial drugs. In the present study, the phytochemical investigation of the green seaweed has afforded two new compounds -, along with 4 known ones -.

The Biodiversity of the Genus : Phytochemical and Pharmacological Natural Products Prospectives.

Although a broad variety of classes of bioactive compounds have already been isolated from seaweeds of the genus , most different species are still chemically and biologically unexplored. species are well-known brown seaweeds belonging to the Dictyotaceae (Phaeophyta). The phytochemical composition within the genus has recently received considerable interest, and a vast array of components, including diterpenes, sesquiterepenes, sterols, amino acids, as well as saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, have been characterized.

Control of Virulent Originating from Dairy Products and Cattle Environment Using Marine Algal Extracts, Silver Nanoparticles Thereof, and Quaternary Disinfectants.

Introduction: is an important foodborne pathogen of public- and animal-health concern globally. The persistence of in the dairy-processing environment has multifactorial causes, including lack of hygiene, inefficient cleaning, and improper disinfection practices.

Materials And Methods: A total of 300 dairy-product and environmental samples were collected from dairy-cattle facilities and local dairy shops and vendors in Qena, Egypt.

Potential Anticancer Lipoxygenase Inhibitors from the Red Sea-Derived Brown Algae : An In-Silico-Supported In-Vitro Study.

LC-MS-assisted metabolomic profiling of the Red Sea-derived brown algae "Sargassaceae" dereplicated eleven compounds -. Further phytochemical investigation afforded two new aryl cresol -, along with eight known compounds -. Both new metabolites, along with showed moderate in vitro antiproliferative activity against HepG2, MCF-7, and Caco-2.

Detrimental effect of UV-B radiation on growth, photosynthetic pigments, metabolites and ultrastructure of some cyanobacteria and freshwater chlorophyta.

Background: Global warming directly influencing ozone layer depletion, which eventually is increasing ultraviolet radiation penetration having far-reaching impacts on living biota. This particularly influences the primary producer microalgae which are the basic unit of food webs in the aquatic habitats. Therefore, it is necessary to concentrate the research at this micro-level to understand the harmful impact of increased UV-B radiation ever before.

Effects of Spirulina platensis and Amphora coffeaeformis as dietary supplements on blood biochemical parameters, intestinal microbial population, and productive performance in broiler chickens.

Spirulina platensis (Sp) or Amphora coffeaeformis (Am) are good candidates as an in-feed antibiotic substitute for broilers. This work was performed to investigate the effects of Sp and Am on the growth performance, intestinal microbial population, physiological responses, and blood biochemical constituents in broiler chickens. Fifty-one-day old Cobb broilers (with initial body weights 50-55 g) were allocated to five groups.

Pharmacological and natural products diversity of the brown algae genus .

Virulent pathotypes of seriously affect the livestock regarding the misuse of antibiotics. All 180 samples collected from cow's environment and dairy shops in Qena, Egypt were serologically and molecularly positive for coliforms. Enteropathogenic  (EPEC), Shiga toxin-producing  (STEC), Enteroinvasive  (EIEC) and Enterotoxigenic  (ETEC) pathotypes were isolated from water and milk-related samples.

Sargassum muticum and Jania rubens regulate amino acid metabolism to improve growth and alleviate salinity in chickpea.

The present study evaluates the potential of Sar gassum muticum (Sar) and Jan ia rubens (Jan) seaweeds for enhancing growth and mitigating soil-salinity in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Under control conditions, Sar and Jan extracts improved chickpea growth which was attributed to their potential for increasing photosynthetic pigments, K and amino acids, particularly proline, in comparison with water-sprayed control.
