Diversity and ecological function of urease-producing bacteria in the cultivation environment of Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis.

Urease-producing bacteria (UPB) provide inorganic nitrogen for primary producers by hydrolyzing urea, and play an important role in marine nitrogen cycle. However, there is still an incomplete understanding of UPB and their ecological functions in the cultivation environment of the red macroalgae Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis. This study comprehensively analyzed the diversity of culturable UPB and explored their effects on urea uptake by G.

Unraveling the Diverse Profile of N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone Signals and Their Role in the Regulation of Biofilm Formation in -Associated .

N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) are small, diffusible chemical signal molecules that serve as social interaction tools for bacteria, enabling them to synchronize their collective actions in a density-dependent manner through quorum sensing (QS). The QS activity from epiphytic bacteria of the red macroalgae , along with its involvement in biofilm formation and regulation, remains unexplored in prior scientific inquiries. Therefore, this study explores the AHL signal molecules produced by epiphytic bacteria.

Environmental factors shape the epiphytic bacterial communities of Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis.

Macroalgae host various symbionts on their surface, which play a critical role in their growth and development processes. However, there is still incomplete understanding of this epiphytic bacteria-host algae interactions. This study comprehensively analysed variation of the epiphytic bacterial communities (EBC) composition of red macroalga Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis at different geographic locations and environmental factors (i.

Comparative study on skin protection activity of polyphenol-rich extract and polysaccharide-rich extract from Sargassum vachellianum.

Seaweed polyphenols and polysaccharide plays a broad range of biological activity. The objective of the present study was to study and compare the skin protection activity of fucoidan rich polysaccharide extract (SPS) and polyphenol-rich extract (SPP) from the seaweed Sargassum vachellianum. The skin protection activity was analyzed based on their ability to scavenge free radicals such as hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals, UV absorption potential, tyrosinase inhibition, moisture preservation, and antibacterial activity.

Potential Use of Seaweed Bioactive Compounds in Skincare-A Review.

Modern lifestyles have developed new attention on appearance and personal care which attract a huge number of consumers towards cosmetic products. The demand for a skincare product with natural ingredients is rapidly increasing. Seaweeds are major resources for in-demand active compounds with a wide variety of applications.

Unravelling property of polysaccharides from Sargassum sp. as an anti-wrinkle and skin whitening property.

In recent years, the natural ingredients are in high demand in formulating the cosmetic products. Seaweed polysaccharides signify the attractive natural ingredient with a wide range of functional properties that are expected for cosmeceutical formulations. The present work aimed to study the skin protection ability of polysaccharides extracted from Sargassum vachellianum (SvP), Sargassum horneri (ShoP) and Sargassum hemiphyllum (SheP).
