Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleAntioxidant Activity of Brown Algae Sargassum species Extract from the Coastline of Java IslandSiti A. Budhiyanti, Sri Raharjo, Djagal W. Marseno, Iwan Y.B. LelanaThe coastlines with rocky shores at Java Island Indonesia, Gunung Kidul (Yogyakarta) and Jepara (Central Java), have abundant resources of brown algae Sargassum sp. Little effort, however, has been made to explore the antioxidant potential of the algae harvested from these area. Tropical brown algae have proven to produce a very effective antioxidant defence system due to the strong UV … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2012 · 9,907 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Temperature and pH on the Growth of Sargassum linearifolium and S. podacanthum in Potassium-Fortified Inland Saline WaterHa Thi Thu Bui, Trong Quoc Luu, Ravi FotedarThis study tested the effects of temperature and pH on water quality and the growth of Sargassum linearifolium and S. podacanthum in potassium-fortified Inland Saline Water (ISW) of Western Australia (WA), at two levels of pH (low pH range of 5.5-6.5 and ambient pH 7.0-8.2) and two levels of temperature (high temperature 26-27°C and ambient room temperature of 20-22°C) in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 6 Apr 2018 · 8,766 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Enriching Nitrogen and Phosphorus on the Growth of Sargassum Podacanthum Cultured in Potassium-Fortified Inland Saline WaterHa Thi Thu Bui, Trong Quoc Luu, Ravi FotedarPotassium-fortified inland saline water (K+ISW) has shown potential for growing marine species, including seaweed species. The response of a brown seaweed species, Sargassum podacanthum, to nitrogen and phosphorus enrichments were evaluated by culturing the species for 84 days in K+ISW and comparing it with Ocean Water (OW). The culture media were enriched weekly with ammonium chloride and sodium dihydrogen phosphate, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 6 Apr 2018 · 7,751 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSargassum Invasion of Coastal Environments: A Growing ConcernClifford Louime, Jodany Fortune, Gary GervaisFloating tropical brown macroalgae, commonly called Sargassum, besieging the Caribbean coastlines have long been a regular occurrence in the region, especially during the fall and winter months. These washed-up seaweeds are considered by scientists as an important part of the coastal ecosystem, as they serve as habitat and nurseries for numerous marine species. However, in recent years, the region has … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2017 · 12,739 accessesView PDF Cite
