Studies on brown algal cell walls have entered a new phase with the concomitant discovery
of novel polysaccharides present in cell walls and the establishment of a comprehensive …

All photosynthetic multicellular Eukaryotes, including land plants and algae, have cells that
are surrounded by a dynamic, complex, carbohydrate-rich cell wall. The cell wall exerts …

Iodine was discovered as a novel element in 1811 during the Napoleonic Wars. To
celebrate the bicentennial anniversary of this event we reflect on the history and highlight …

We review research from the last 40 yr on macroalgal–bacterial interactions. Marine
macroalgae have been challenged throughout their evolution by microorganisms and have …

Background and Aims Brown algae are photosynthetic multicellular marine organisms
evolutionarily distant from land plants, with a distinctive cell wall. They feature carbohydrates …

Brown algal cell walls share some components with plants (cellulose) and animals (sulfated
fucans), but they also contain some unique polysaccharides (alginates). Analysis of the …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is susceptible to many pathogens, such as Botrytis cinerea,
Plasmopara viticola, Uncinula necator, and Eutypa lata. Phytochemicals are used …

This review about the genus Laminaria sensu lato summarizes the extensive literature that
has been published since the overview of the genus given by Kain in 1979. The recent …

Marine macroalgae are constantly exposed to epibacterial colonizers. The epiphytic
bacterial patterns and their temporal and spatial variability on host algae are poorly …

Brown algae of the Laminariales (kelps) are the strongest accumulators of iodine among
living organisms. They represent a major pump in the global biogeochemical cycle of iodine …
