Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) was utilized to extract sulfated polysaccharides (fucoidan) from brown seaweed Saccharina japonica. Various conditions of temperature (80-200°C), pressure (5-100bar), and solvents (water, 0.1% sodium hydroxide, 0.1% formic acid, 70% ethanol, 50% ethanol, and 25% ethanol) were assessed; the best crude fucoidan (CF) yield was 8.23%, obtained from 140°C and 50bar (sodium hydroxide). Compositional analysis, FT-IR, molecular weight, monosaccharides, TGA, UV-vis, XRD, and elemental analysis confirm that extracted polysaccharides revealed the features of fucoidan. Fucose was the main monosaccharide present in CF obtained by various solvent systems. All CF showed antioxidant activities as measured by DPPH radical and ABTS(+) radical scavenging. CF demonstrates good emulsion-stabilizing capacities, especially with vegetable oils. This study demonstrates that PLE is an efficacious method for enhancing the yield of polysaccharides from S. japonica and that it could be a potential source of natural antioxidants and emulsifiers.

In this paper, the structures and composition of phlorotannins with different molecular weights in juvenile and mature kelp (Saccharina japonica), as well as their relationship with antioxidant activity were comprehensively analyzed. Macroporous resin and ultrafiltration were used to obtain phlorotannins with different molecular weights. The structures of low molecular weight and high molecular weight phlorotannins in Sanhai kelp were analyzed using UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS and NMR techniques, respectively.

The lipid-lowering activity of fucoidan has been widely reported, but the exploration of its mechanisms is relatively limited, and studies on its direct targets are even scarcer. Additionally, it is unclear whether different administration methods affect the lipid-lowering activity of fucoidan. In current study, we used fucoidan derived from Saccharina japonica (SJF) to investigate its targets.

In recent years, a disease called "Baotou" has been causing large-scale yield reductions of in China. Interestingly, , which once reported to be a probiotic or pathogen for multiple marine organisms, was strongly proved to be the pathogen causing "Baotou" disease in this study. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene profiling revealed that was the most abundant and dominant bacterium on the algal thalli suffering from "Baotou" disease, whereas its presence was scarcely detected on healthy thalli.

Monoclonal female gametophytes of Saccharina japonica, when cultured independently, can develop into female sporophytes. Previous research has shown that the chromosomes in female sporophytes of S. japonica may naturally duplicate, forming diploids, and these diploid female sporophytes are capable of forming sori and releasing zoospores.

Introduction: The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a crucial determinant of the energy transformation capacity of fuel cells. This study investigates the performance of N and B dual-doped carbon in ORR.
Methods: Six models using density functional theory (DFT) are developed to compare the performance of different doping strategies.
