Photosynthesis and respiration in the alga Ahnfeltia plicata in a...
AbstractPhotosynthesis and respiration in Ahnfeltia plicata (Huds.) Fries (Gigartinales) was measured in a seawater flowthrough system at different temperatures, salinities and photon flux densities...

AbstractThe algal vegetation at three rocky-shore localities on the Swedish Skagerrak coast with different environmental conditions was studied in 1960–1961 by SCUBA diving. The same localities were...

AbstractThis study analyses the complicated patterns of vertical distribution of the macroalgal vegetation in an area where brackish and marine waters meet and mix. Variables used to record vegetation...
View ArticleStrategies for carbon acquisition in the red marine macroalga Coccotylus...
Abstract. Marine macroalgae need carbon-concentrating mechanisms because they have only limited access to CO2 in their natural environment. Previous studies have shown that one important strategy...

AbstractIn most rhodophytes, the quenchers zeaxanthin or lutein seem to be used for carotenoid photoprotection next to β-carotene. However, our study shows that the tropical intertidal alga Gracilaria...
View ArticleInduction of Oxidative Stress in the Red Macroalga Gracilaria tenuistipitata...
AbstractHeavy metals are environmental pollutants that have the potential to induce severe stress-reactions in organisms on land as well as in the sea. We have studied effects of short term sublethal...
View ArticleDifferent patterns of carotenoid composition and photosynthesis acclimation...
AbstractTo be able to survive, marine macroalgae in shallow coastal waters need mechanisms for short-term acclimation to fast changes in their environment. Of major importance are mechanisms that...
