The physiological characteristics of Ulva prolifera and Blidingia sp. during two pre-bloom stages (March & May) were compared to evaluate the competitive advantage of U. prolifera on Pyropia aquaculture rafts in Subei Shoal. (1) Compared to Blidingia sp., U. prolifera had a lower growth rate, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic efficiency, and antioxidant capacity in March. (2) In May, various indicators of U. prolifera's physiological function improved significantly, while the antioxidant capacity of Blidingia sp. decreased significantly. Large lipidic globules in U. prolifera cells became scattered small lipidic globules in May, which indicated a decrease in lipid membrane peroxidation. (3) In U. prolifera, the ratio of buoyancy to gravity of per unit volume was 1.73, and the bubbles inside the thalli provided 60% of the total buoyancy. Buoyancy generated by the inflatable structure of U. prolifera allowed this species to float after being separated from the rafts.

With years of green tide outbreaks in the Southern Yellow Sea (SYS) and climate change, early findings over multiple years suggest that the green tide may originate from various pathways. Previous studies have identified attached outbreak species of U. prolifera in the intertidal zone along the SYS coast.

The outbreak of Ulva prolifera blooms causes significant changes in the coastal sulfur cycle due to the high production of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) and the emission of dimethylsulfide (DMS). However, the sulfur metabolism mechanism of U. prolifera has not been thoroughly investigated.

Ulva prolifera, a key species in China's massive green tides, is widely used in aquaculture, biofuel, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. In this study, we cultured U. prolifera under 100, 200, and 400 μmol m s with 10:14 and 12:12 light/dark at 15 °C and 25 °C, respectively, to investigate the effectiveness of light intensity, photoperiod, and temperature on the reproduction cell formation, oxidative status, photosynthesis on this species, as well as the related genes from transcriptomic perspective.

In this study, we demonstrate a new all bio-based adsorbent material by treating Enteromorpho prolifera (EP) fibers with tannic acid-ferric chloride complex and then grafting hydrophobic group octadecylamine. All raw materials are easily available, low-cost, and safe. The modified EP fibers have approximately 63.
