Morphological and molecular assessment of native carrageenophyte Hypnea valentiae (Cystocloniaceae, Gigartinales) in Indian Subcontinent
(Phycological Society, 2014)
Hypnea valentiae is an important red alga commercially cultivated in various parts of the world for the production of carrageenan. Presented in this report is findings of morphological and molecular observations of ...
Molecular assessment of invasive Carrageenophyte Kappaphycus alvarezii from India based on ITS-1 sequences
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016)
This is the first report on the molecular systematic characterization of the invasive red alga Kappaphycus alvarezii in India. Cultivated for the production of carrageenan around the Gulf of Mannar, southeast India, this ...
New record of Sargassum zhangii (Sargassaceae, Fucales) in India based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA barcodes
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016)
Brown algal genus Sargassum encompasses some of the most invasive seaweeds in the oceans across the world. Here we report the occurrence of Sargassum zhangii in Palk Strait, southeast India. Hundreds of natural populations ...
Strong endemism of bloom-forming tubular ulva in Indian west coast, with description of Ulva paschima sp. nov. (Ulvales, chlorophyta)
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Ulva intestinalis and Ulva compressa are two bloom-forming morphologically-cryptic species of green seaweeds widely accepted as cosmopolitan in distribution. Previous studies have shown that these are two distinct species ...
DB IndAlgae: An on-line resource of marine algae from India identified on the basis of molecular and morphological features
(Indian Academy of Sciences, 2016)
DbIndAlgae is a free on-line database of marine algae from India. It provides information about the geographical distribution, morphological characteristics and most importantly, sequence data of marine algae collected ...
Cladophora goensis sp. nov. (Cladophorales, Ulvophyceae) –a bloom forming marine algae from Goa, India
(CSIR- NISCAIR, 2015)
A new species of green seaweed, Cladophora goensis sp. nov. (Cladophorales, Ulvophyceae), had been discovered from Vasco-da-Gamma, Goa, India. This species formed algal bloom of moderate intensity in the Bay of Mormugao, ...
European Species of Subaerial Green Alga Trentepohlia annulata (Trentepohliales, Ulvophyceae) Caused Blood Rain in Kerala, India
(OMICS, 2015)
In 2011, isolated parts in south Indian state of Kerala as well as neighboring Sri Lanka experienced sporadic spell of red colored “blood rain”, cause of which was later attributed to terrestrial subaerial microalgae of ...
Cladophora goensis- a bloom forming marine algae from Goa, India.
(2015)
A new species of green seaweed, Cladophora goensis sp. nov. (Cladophorales, Ulvophyceae), had been discovered in our last field trip to Vasco-da-Gamma, Goa, India. This species formed algal bloom of moderate intensity in ...
DNA Barcoding and phylogography of brown seaweeds of coasts of indian subcontinent
(Central University of Punjab, 2013)
Algae are one of the diverse groups of ubiquitous autotrophs. Their use as food was more or less initially confined to few East Asian and South American countries like China, Japan, Korea, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, but ...
DNA barcode-based identification and comparative anti-cancer effects of different species of brown seaweed Sargassum C. Agardh of Indian coasts
(Central University of Punjab, 2018)
Sargassum C. Agardh is a ubiquitous, multicellular brown seaweed that represents the most species-rich genus of the brown algal order Fucales, with more than 500 species reported worldwide. The present study aimed to ...
