Over the past 18 years, green tides have persistently occurred in the Yellow Sea. Micropropagules of these algae are key to bloom formation, yet their species composition and succession during dissipation remain underexplored. During the dissipation process of accumulated green tide algae, a large number of micropropagules are released.

Direct sustainable conversion of hydrogen sulfide (HS) enables collaborative recovery of H and S resources via a metal-enhanced microwave plasma strategy, avoiding the hydrogen waste in the traditional Claus process. However, the metal size effect on microwave plasma property, the optimal process parameters, and the enhancement mechanism remain unclear in HS conversion. Herein, the optimal tungsten needle (diameter: 1 mm, length: 60 mm, and tip angle: 10°) is experimentally proven for intensifying microwave discharge in multi-mode cavities.

The proliferation of large green macroalgae in marine environments has led to the occurrence of green tides, particularly in the South Yellow Sea region of China, where has been identified as the primary species responsible for the world's largest green tide events. Allelopathy among plants is a critical factor influencing the dynamics of green tides. This review synthesizes previous research on allelopathic interactions within green tides, categorizing four extensively studied allelochemicals: fatty acids, aldehydes, phenols, and terpenes.

We conducted continuous monitoring at 13 stations along the Jiangsu coast to study the spatiotemporal distribution, population succession of micropropagules of green algae, and their impact on the outbreak of Southern Yellow Sea green tide. The study discovered that: 1) Green algae micropropagules had obvious temporal and spatial distribution and population changes along the Jiangsu coast. The monthly average abundance of micropropagules of green algae at station BH1, which was the high-value area, was 1230 inds/L.

To develop an effective method to eliminate green macroalgae attached to Neopyropia aquaculture nets, we explored the influence of mixed acid solution on the photosynthetic fluorescence characteristics of Ulva spp. (green macroalgae) and Neopyropia yezoensis (red macroalgae) from Dafeng and Rudong aquaculture areas in Jiangsu Province, China. Treatment with mixed acid solution (0.

Seasonal variations of environmental parameters usually lead to considerable changes in microbial communities. Nevertheless, the specific response patterns of these communities in coastal areas subjected to different levels of contamination remain unclear. Our results revealed notable fluctuations in the bacterioplankton community both seasonally and spatially, with seasonal variations being particularly significant.

To investigate the detrimental impacts of cyanobacterial bloom, specifically Microcystis aeruginosa, on brackish water ecosystems, the study used Moina mongolica, a cladoceran species, as the test organism. In a chronic toxicology experiment, the survival and reproductive rates of M. mongolica were assessed under M.

Green tides, a globally prevalent marine ecological anomaly observed in coastal regions, have received substantial attention. However, there is limited research on the burial of Ulva prolifera in sediments during the late stages of green tide outbreaks. This study investigates the effect of temperature on U.

Golden tide outbreak threatened the marine ecological environment. Sargassum horneri is a single dominant species of the Yellow Sea golden tide, which growth and development are affected by changes in sea water temperature. This study investigated the photosynthetic physiology of copper algae and found that the growth rate, chlorophyll a content, carotenoid content, Fv/Fm, and maximum electron transfer efficiency were significantly reduced, indicating that Sargassum horneri was under stress under high temperature.

Green tides, characterized by excessive Ulva prolifera blooms, pose significant ecological and economic challenges, especially in the South Yellow Sea. We successfully employed 18S environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to detect Ulva prolifera micropropagules, confirming the technique's reliability and introducing a rapid green tide monitoring method. Our investigation revealed notable disparities in the eukaryotic microbial community composition within Ulva prolifera habitats across different regions.

Background: Nebulized amphotericin B (NAB) is recommended for preventing invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) after lung transplantation. However, the optimal duration of NAB treatment is still unknown. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of three different durations of antifungal prophylaxis with NAB after lung transplantation: a prolonged course beyond post-transplant 3 months, a medium course of 2 weeks to 3 months, and a short course of less than 2 weeks.

Since 2007, green tides have occurred almost every year in the Yellow Sea, and a method to prevent them and to control levels of attached Ulva prolifera is urgently needed. In this study, we measured the effects of different concentrations of citric acid-activated chlorine dioxide solution (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg/L of chlorine dioxide) on the morphology (macrostructure and microstructure), chlorophyll a content, chlorophyll b content, carotenoid content, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, Y (II), NPQ, and ETRmax) of U. prolifera.

Trait plasticity and integration mediate vegetable adaptive strategies. However, it is unclear how patterns of vegetables in root traits influence vegetable adaptation to different phosphorus (P) levels. Nine root traits and six shoot traits were investigated in 12 vegetable species cultivated in a greenhouse with low and high P supplies to identify distinct adaptive mechanisms in relation to P acquisition (40 and 200 P mg kg as KHPO).

Due to ever-increasing global warming, ocean acidification, and inshore eutrophication, the outbreak of golden tides with Sargassum horneri has increased in the Yellow sea, where the biomass carbon enters three main carbon pathways: a. Removal of carbon from seawater by salvage, known as removable carbon; b. Biomass carbon is deposited to the seafloor through POC and RDOC through Biological Carbon Pump and Microbial Carbon Pump; c.

The response of seaweeds to environmental stressors can be population-specific, and be related to the regime of their habitats. To explore the growth and physiological responses of Ulva prolifera, two strains of this alga (Korean and Chinese strains) were studied under an interaction of temperature (20 and 25 °C), nutrients (low nutrients: 50 μM of nitrate and 5 μM of phosphate; high nutrients: 500 μM of nitrate and 50 μM of phosphate) and salinity (20, 30 and 40 psu). The lowest growth rates of both strains were observed at 40 psu of salinity, independent of temperature and nutrient levels.

Seaweeds (green algae, red algae and brown algae) are rich in nutrients, and incorporating algae into the human diet can provide important health benefits. However, consumer acceptance of food is closely related to its flavor, and in this respect, volatile compounds are key factors.

The green tide event that occurred in the Southern Yellow Sea in 2007 lasted for 16 years, causing serious economic losses and ecological damage to coastal cities. To address this problem, a series of studies were conducted. However, the contribution of micropropagules to green tide outbreaks remains poorly understood, and the relationship between micropropagules and green algae that are settled nearshore or floating at sea also needs to be further explored.
