Five species of Fucus have been described for Spain and four for Portugal - Fucus spiralis L., F. vesiculosus L., F. ceranoides L. and F. serratus L. (Pérez-Ruzafa et al., 1993). Fucus species, along with other kelp, are an important source of alginates—colloidal extracts with many industrial uses similar to those of agar. Google Scholar. Marine Biology ISSN: 0025-3162 EISSN: 1432-1793 Report Number. Characteristics of an organism's life history are often good predictors of genetic diversity and genetic structure. Engel CR, Daguin C, Serrao EA. Fs, Fucus spiralis; Lh, Laminaria sp. We tested this hypothesis by comparing reproductive synchrony over daily to hourly timescales in a sympatric assemblage of intertidal fucoid algae containing selfing hermaphroditic (Fucus spiralis and Fucus guiryi) and dioecious (Fucus vesiculosus and Fucus serratus) species. Discriminant analysis and ordination in a canonical space have been used to describe the morphotype and compare it with the two forms already described for the Canary Islands: Fucus spiralis L limitaneus and F. spiralis f. platycarpus. Fucus spiralis L. a brown algae common on Atlantic coasts, is also present in Canary Islands, and forms small communities in the upper intertidal level (Reyes & Sansón, 1999). DOI: 10.1007/s10811-018-1451-0. The various chemical forms of 74As accumulated from either water or food by the marine food chain [Fucus spiralis (L.)→ Littorina littoralis (L.)→Nucella lapillus] have been separated and characterized. Characteristics.-Fucus is a tissue-remedy of great power and must be compared with Iodine, of which it contains a large proportion. DOI: 10.3390/md16080249. … 1997 Natural hybridization and evolution. 1. The symptoms have been obtained from patients taking the medicine for the reduction of obesity. 2. The study sites were chosen principally on the basis of their contrasting physical characteristics especially the amount of relative water movement and the degree of silting to which they were exposed.

Characteristics of arsenic accumulation by the seaweeds Fucus spiralis and Ascophyllum nodosum Klumpp, D. 1980-11-01 00:00:00 Introduction This study examines the accumulation of 74 As-arsenic in the seaweeds Fueus spiralis (L.) and Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) collected from Restronguet Creek in southwest England during 1978. As physiological indicators of nitrogen status, total C and N, dark ammonium uptake, and respiratory stimulation by ammonium were examined in plant apices. The Icelandic genotypes were consistent with Fucus vesiculosus×Fucus spiralis F 1 hybrids with asymmetrical hybridization, whereas the Irish ones consisted primarily of polyploid F. vesiculosus. Fucus, genus of brown algae, common on rocky seacoasts and in salt marshes of northern temperate regions. References. ; Pd, Porphyra dioica; U1 and U2, Ulva sp. Bladder wrack, also known as Black Tang, Rockweed, Bladder Fucus, Seawrack, Sea Oak, Black Tany, Cut Weed, and Rockwrack, is a common seaweed species found on the middle-shore of rocky coastal areas. University of New Hampshire, Ph.D., 1975 Botany Xerox University Microfilms, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 THIS DISSERTATION HAS BEEN MICROFILMED EXACTLY AS RECEIVED. The rapidity of digestion is increased and flatulency diminished. Genetic entities and mating system in hermaphroditic Fucus spiralis and its close dioecious relative F. vesiculosus (Fucaceae, Phaeophyceae) Molecular ecology. Sexually mature individuals of Fucus possess several fertile structures (receptacles), each of which is lined by hundreds of conceptacles bearing the reproductive organs (oogonia and antheridia). Of the brown algae, the genus Fucus in par-ticular has been closely studied, and the effects of wave exposure on the morphology of F. vesiculosus, F. distichus and F. spiralis have undergone detailed investigation. Ecological Characteristics. Our results confirm that gametes are released on semi-lunar cycles in all species. Unlike green algae or Chlorophyta, they lack true starch. Fucus: Species: distichus, serratus, spiralis, vesiculosus: Phaeophyta Characteristics Phaeophyta are the most complex forms of algae. The quality of the manuscript “Bioaccessibility of antioxidants and fatty acids from Fucus spiralis” submitted for publication in Foods is quite good. Also, the influence of environmental factors (valence state of arsenic, pH, salinity, temperature, phosphate concentration) and metabolic inhibitors on the uptake of arsenic by F. spiralis is examined. Abstract. Introduction. Seasonal Variability of the Biochemical Composition and Antioxidant Properties of Fucus spiralis at Two Azorean Islands. Though it was previously thought to have been a subspecies of F. spiralis, it is also similar to F. vesiculosus in morphology. The research topic is interesting and the results could have interest for the food industry. Sheltered upper eulittoral bedrock characterised by a band of the spiral wrack Fucus spiralis overlying the black lichen Verrucaria maura and the olive green lichen Verrucaria mucosa. platycarpus was given species status as F. guiryi in 2011. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-294X.2005.02558.x. The temporal dynamics and the host-specific association of planctomycetal communities on Fucus spiralis, ... Due to their uncommon characteristics, Planctomycetes are an interesting group of bacteria and culture-dependent methods have proven a wide association of Planctomycetes with macroalgae (Lage and Bondoso 2011). This study examines the accumulation of 74 As-arsenic in the seaweeds Fucus spiralis (L.) and Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) collected from Restronguet Creek in southwest England during 1978. In Fucus spiralis, both types of sporangia occur in the same conceptacle. Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Head of Department. Although both eggs and sperm are produced, no gametophytes are generated. Fucus spiralis L. is a perennial monoecious alga that is abundant on the shores of Maine. We tested hypotheses about genetic structure and diversity in an intertidal alga based on life history and life form. For each experiment, two trials were conducted on consecutive days to assess the generality and repeatability of results.

A brown marine macroalgae Fucus spiralis var. Yes Journal. The algal phe-notype is a product of numerous thallus char-acteristics that can be studied with multivariate analysis. It is of significance from a biodiversity point of view since it encompasses a variety of habitats e.g. Sarcodiotheca gaudichaudii. The implications of mating system for genetic diversity were assessed in the sister species Fucus spiralis and Fucus vesiculosus using a combination of ten microsatellite markers. 1980 Is Peer Reviewed? Growth and physiological responses of whole specimens of Fucus spiralis to nitrate and ammonium enrichment were measured in a continuous‐flow system using seawater from the Massachusetts coast. ; L, Ladder. brown algae Bifurcaria bifurcata and Fucus spiralis from the Atlantic coast of Morocco were structurally characterized and tested for their possible eliciting e ect on the defence mechanisms of the date palm roots. Microspores divide meiotically to form sperm cells, and megaspores produce egg cells by reduction divisions. The spores divide to produce gametes. Fucus spiralis tissues Simultaneously with seawaters, three independent rep-licates (fresh mass 100 g; n=3) ofF. Journal of Applied Phycology 2018, 30 (4) , 2587-2599. spiralis were collected and transported in refrigerated containers to the laboratory within 8 h. Then, soft tissues were cleaned with ultrapure water, lyophilized and … The size and abundance of these three species have not yet been correlated to their environment and especially F. guiryi is not well known. In Fucus vesiculosis, the microsporangia and megasporangia are found on different plants. Abstract This paper describes a new morphotype of Fucus spiralis from the Canary Islands. The location and general characteristics of The cell walls are composed of cellulose and alginic acid (a complex polysaccharide). Several other rockweeds are abundant locally, for example Fucus spiralis at the upper fringe of the eulittoral and Fucus distichus (along with the kelp Alaria esculenta) at the other extreme, on very exposed infralittoral zones (Figure 21.10). Results and Discussion 2.1. Underneath the fronds of F. spiralis and the occasional Pelvetia canaliculata is a community consisting of the limpet Patella vulgata, the winkles Littorina saxatilis and Littorina littorea and the barnacle Semibalanus balanoides. The genus Fucus is characterized by two Lineages, each with sister taxa that are hermaphroditic with cosexual conceptacles (e.g. It can occur in high densities where conditions are suitable, forming a dense, multi-layered carpet of fronds over the rock surface.

Two experiments were performed, one for Fucus vesiculosus (Linnaeus, 1753) and one for Fucus spiralis (Linnaeus, 1753) (both Ochrophyta, Fucales).
