Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogenetic analyses of the Japanese Ulva and Enteromorpha (Ulvales, Ulvophyceae), with special reference to the free-floating Ulva
TL;DR: Molecular data indicated that Ulva and Enteromorpha are not separated as respective monophyletic groups within a large monophyletsic clade and congeneric as shown by previous molecular studies using the ITS sequences alone, which strongly suggests that these genera are congeneric.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeography of the genus Ulva (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta), with special reference to the Japanese freshwater and brackish taxa
TL;DR: The monophyly of all river samples indicates that adaptation to low salinity might have occurred only once in the evolutionary history of the LPP complex, which contains a mixture of 26 samples collected from seashores and 49 samples obtained from rivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warming off southwestern Japan linked to distributional shifts of subtidal canopy-forming seaweeds.
TL;DR: A comparison of the previous and present distributions clearly showed the contraction of temperate species' distributional ranges and expansion of tropical species' Distributional ranges in the seaweeds, mainly driven by the warming Kuroshio Current.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fucoxanthin and Its Metabolites in Edible Brown Algae Cultivated in Deep Seawater
Kanami Mori,Takashi Ooi,Masanori Hiraoka,Naohiro Oka,Hideyuki Hamada,Mitsumasa Tamura,Takenori Kusumi +6 more
TL;DR: Three metabolites of fucoxanthin were isolated from a brown alga, Scytosiphon lomentaria, and the structure of a new compound was determined by NMR, revealing a biologically active carotenoid in brown algae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave-assisted hydrothermal extraction of sulfated polysaccharides from Ulva spp. and Monostroma latissimum.
TL;DR: Dielectric measurement revealed that ionic conduction was the important parameter that affect the microwave susceptibility of algae-water mixture and the sulfated polysaccharides extracts are expected as potential feedstock for medical and food applications.
