Factors restricting recruitment of Ascophyllum nodosum L (Le Jolis)
… in the understory. Suppression of growth in Fucus vesiculosus and Ascophyllum was significantly different. Ascophyllum suppressed in the understory high on the shore were transplanted low on the shore. Growth increased significantly. Suppressed juveniles are critical in regenerating lost …

Microplastic adherence to common species of macroalgae found throughout Scottish coastal zones
… within water samples in addition to sampled Fucus vesiculosus fronds. Additionally, a positive control experiment was created to assess if microplastics adhere to samples of F. vesiculosus. Results found microplastics were present in all collected samples, however no discernible correlation …

An investigation of the prebiotic potential and gut health benefits of Irish seaweeds
… the greatest bifidogenic activity exhibited by Fucus serratus. Following this, the prebiotic potential of F. serratus was investigated using a faecal fermentation approach. An extract was prepared using a hot-acid extraction followed by ethanol precipitation, size-exclusion dialysis and a …

Niche adaptations of the vibrionaceae, from the coastal ocean to the laboratory
… the copepod Apocyclops royi, and the brown alga Fucus vesiculosus - as well as the algal constituent, alginate. By selecting a transposon-mutant collection for growth on these resources, I find that Apocyclops is a replete resource, whereas Fucus is intermediate to Apocyclops and alginate in its …

Genetics and Ecology of the Invasive Marine Alga, Sargassium Miuticum within Wales: A Multidisciplinary Approach to a Management Problem
… In contrast, at Tal y Foel, the native alga Fucus vesiculosus supported a different and less diverse assemblage of associated epifauna compared to S. muticum. The ecological and molecular data are discussed in light of the current knowledgebase of S. muticum and in the context of the …

Natural biosorbents for the removal of metals from aqueous solutions
… to perform as biosorbents. Brown seaweed (Fucus vesiculosus), Douglas fir wood bark (Pseudolsuga menziesii), peat and carapace from the edible crab (Cancer pagurus) were assessed for Cu(II) removal as a function of time and concentration. Mechanically and commercially milled carapace (MMC …

Cellular and in-vitro models to assess antioxidant activities of seaweed extracts and the potential use of the extracts as ingredients
… Laminaria hyperborea, Pelvetia canaliculata, Fucus vesiculosus and Fucus serratus were examined using in-vitro assays and a cell model system to determine the antioxidant activity of the extracts and their ability to protect against H2O2 and tert-BOOH-induced DNA damage and alterations in …

Ecology of chemical defenses of algae against the herbivorous snail, Littorina littorea, in the New England rocky intertidal community
… (Ascophyllum nodosum and several species of Fucus) in the mid zones and the red alga Chondrus crispus in the low zones. These algae are not grazed by the predominant herbivorous snail, Littorina littorea. Here I report the first direct evidence that these algae produce chemicals which inhibit …

The potential applications of brown seaweed as an alternative feed for ruminant livestock
… Fourspecies (Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jolis, Fucusvesiculosus Linnaeus, Laminaria digitata (Hudson)J.V. Lamouroux and Saccharina latissimi (L.) C.E. Lane, C. Mayes,Druehl & G.W. Saunders) were chosen based on their availability in NorthernAtlantic regions. The chemical composition and in vitro …

Evolution of the brown algae Fucus radicans and F. vesiculosus in the Baltic Sea
… adaptive evolution of a lineage of macroalga (Fucus vesiculosus) that entered the Baltic Sea about 6000 years ago, and later gave rise to a new endemic species, F. radicans. To examine whether the two species have adapted to local conditions of the Baltic Sea, or have been able to establish due …

Patterns of evolution in a young species, the Baltic seaweed Fucus radicans
… centers on the evolution of the two brown algae Fucus radicans and Fucus vesiculosus in the Baltic Sea, where Fucus radicans very recently diverged from F. vesiculosus, and where both species have aquired the unique character of asexual recruitment forming clones. Speciation is one of the most …

CLEC-2 SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION IN PLATELET ACTIVATION
… Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide from fucus vesiculosus, decreases bleeding time and clotting time in hemophilia, possibly through inhibition of tissue factor pathway inhibitor. However, its effect on platelets and the receptor by which fucoidan induces cellular processes has not been …
