New article: Sargassum muticum

 In a new study out yesterday, a Ph.D. student Tomoiro Ito and co-authors revealed the effects of irradiance, temperature, and desiccation on the photosynthesis of a brown alga, Sargassum muticum (Fucales) from its native distributional range in Japan. The study appears in the Journal of Applied Phycology at the following link.

New article: Phycocalidia tanegashimensis

 Please take a look at our new article featuring a subtropical red alga, Phycocalidia tanegashimensis (Pyropia tanegashimensis).

Xu, Terada, Watanabe, Nishihara 2021.
Temperature characteristics on the growth and photosynthesis of a red alga, Phycocalidia tanegashimensis (Pyropia tanegashimensis, Bangiales) reveal adaptation to subtropical environments due to year-round occurrence of the macroscopic gametophyte.
