Magister Scientiae - MSc (Chemistry) / Plants have been widely used in traditional medicine for a number of ailments, among which may be included infectious diseases such as colds, influenza, chicken pox, TB, etc. as well as lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Seaweeds have also been shown to contribute to the maintenance of health through their nutritional and medicinal properties and recently, a great deal of interest has developed towards the isolation of bioactive compounds from ...

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 210-273). / In South Africa, Ulva cultivation is of paramount importance to the marine aquaculture industry. Three local Ulva species (Ulva lactuca Linnaeus, Ulva rigida C. Agardh and Ulva capensis Areschoug) were selected for this research. The first two are currently cultivated on abalone farms for abalone feed and for use as bio-filters, and Ulva capensis was included because it is morphologically and biogeographically distinct from Ulva rigida in n...

Cultivation of South African abalone, Haliotis midae, is a major industry. The feed used at these farms is predominantly fresh kelp, Ecklonia maxima and Laminaria pallida, a limited resource, and Abfeed™, which contains fishmeal as a protein source. The growing need for abalone feed has driven some farms to start on-farm cultivation of seaweeds, mainly species of Ulva and Gracilaria. This study aimed to examine the light regime under which Ulva is cultivated on a South African abalone farm to de...

The innovative process of removal of toxic heavy metals from water by biosorption, using the dead biomass of Sargassum marine alga packed in flow-through columns, was examined. The mechanism of uptake of Cu 2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Fe2+, and Cr(III) by the biomass was identified as ion exchange taking place at the weakly acidic functional groups embedded in the cellular matrix of the seaweed. After pretreatment with mineral acids, the cation exchange capacity of the biomass was approximately 2.3 meq/g of...

Die Supply Chain von Algen in Indonesien, insbesondere Karrageen und Agarprodukte, ist mit Störungen innerhalb der Unternehmen und in externen Netzwerken konfrontiert wie z. B. Quantität, Qualität, Preis und Infrastruktur. Sobald eine Störung in einem Teil der Supply Chain auftritt, kann diese die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette beeinflussen. Um eine nachhaltige Algenindustrie sicher zu stellen, bedarf es einer langzeitigen Planung. Hierbei kann das Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) helfen. SCRM u...

The effect of Ascophyllum nodosum extracts on the nodulation and growth of alfalfa was investigated. Plant growth assay revealed that alfalfa treated with 2 g L-1 ANE exhibited a significant increase in leaf area. Under salt stress, alfalfa treated with 0.5 g L-1 ANE exhibited a significant increase in total length compared to controls. A root hair deformation assay indicated that ANE 0.5 g L-1 stimulated the synthesis of Nod factors secreted by rhizobia thus accelerate root hair deformation of ...

The endogenous cytokinin levels in the brown alga Ecklonia maxima (OSBECK) PAPENF., and the effect of applications of the seaweed concentrate (Kelpak 66) prepared from this alga, on the growth and yield of various plants was investigated. Tentative identification of the cytokinins present in Ecklonia maxima using High Performance Liquid Chromatography revealed the presence of cis and trans-ribosylzeatin, trans-zeatin, dihydrozeatin and isopentenyladenosine. Seasonal and lunar variations in the e...

Damp, rotting, smelly, rising from the depths, washed up on shorelines. Seaweed (or Macroalgae) has transitioned over time in its position and uses within the British Isles; as discussed in the thesis it has undergone an evolution from its historical use as a source of food in times of desperation, to the superfood it is lauded as today. Other applications, from medicinal to agricultural, have contributed to a narrative of seaweed’s identity over the centuries, to the appeal of seaweed as a food...

Seaweed has been hit hard by climate change around the world. The island of Zanzibar, which is the world’s third biggest exporter of seaweed, is one of the places where seaweed is affected. 80 percent of the seaweed farmers on Zanzibar are women who are directly affected by climate change since they are making a living from seaweed farming. New efforts to tackle the impact of climate change on seaweed has been made on Zanzibar through the SEA PoWer project which is a new technique of growing sea...

Bibliography: leaves 149-160. / There have been very few intertidal studies carried out on the Namibian coast. With respect to seaweeds in particular there have been a number of species lists and shore descriptions, but very little research into the biogeography, diversity or ecology. One of the reasons for the lack of research is probably that much of the 1500 km coast is inaccessible. The coastline is relatively straight with few inlets or bays and comprises mostly sandy beaches, with few rock...

The increasing demand for seaweed extracts has led to the introduction of non-native seaweeds for farming purposes in many tropical regions. Such intentional introductions can lead to spread of non-native seaweeds from farming areas, which can become established in and alter the dynamics of the recipient ecosystems. While tropical seaweeds are of great interest for aquaculture, and have received much attention as pests in the coral reef literature, little is known about the problems and potentia...

Algae have been classified by botanists into four large groups: the Chlorophyceae or green algae, the Phaeophyceae or brown algae, the Rhodophyceae or red algae, and the Cyanophyceae or blue-green algae. The polysaccharides which are extracted from marine algae may be differentiated into reserve polysaccharides, analogous to starch in land plants, and into structural polyrsaccharides, analogous to cellulose in land plants. Laminarin from brown seaweeds and Floridean starch from certain red algae...

Several accounts have been produced on the seaweeds of the west coast including the Saldanha and Langebaan System, but none has looked at how human activities may have affected the seaweed diversity of Saldanha Bay. The major human activities in the Bay include shipping and mariculture. The major human impacts resulting from these activities are species introductions which often lead to a change in species composition in an area. Six sites were sampled in various visits in autumn and winter 2012...

Appropriate sampling and experimental programs resulted in a qualitative and quantitative assessment of seaweed litter biomasses, decomposition rates and concomitant changes in nitrogen content; detritus biomass and decomposition rates; and faunal distribution patterns for the significant species within a successional seaweed community in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia, Canada. A simulation model incorporating suitable data obtained from these sampling and experimental programs facilita...

Evolutionary processes in any population depend upon patterns of phenotypic variation available to selection and their underlying heritability. In this thesis, I used the filamentous red seaweed Asparagopsis armata, with particular focus on its modularity, to test several key questions underlying its growth-form evolution in heterogeneous environments. I established that experimental manipulations of light quantity and quality mimicking variation in underwater light due to shading or depth indu...

The application of seaweed concentrates to plants has been shown to enhance growth and improve yield parameters. How these natural products elicit their beneficial responses is still unclear. While many of the growth responses have been attributed to cytokinins, it is obvious that this group of plant hormones cannot account for all the beneficial effects incurred from seaweed use. This study was therefore initiated to investigate the effects of a commercial seaweed concentrate (Kelpak) on severa...

An organism’s success is largely dependent upon its ability to function and survive within the physical constraints of its environment. The wave-swept shoreline is one of the most mechanically challenging environments on Earth, with passing waves imposing hydrodynamic forces comparable to those in a hurricane every 5-10 seconds. Nonetheless, the wave-swept intertidal hosts an exquisite diversity of plants and animals. I used field and laboratory techniques to examine morphological and material a...
