Algae as food in Europe: an overview of species diversity and their application
Mendes, Madalena Caria; Navalho, Sofia; Ferreira, Alice; Paulino, Cristina; Figueiredo, Daniel; Silva, Daniel; Gao, Fengzheng; Gama, FlorindaABSTRACT: Algae have been consumed for millennia in several parts of the world as food, food supplements, and additives, due to their unique organoleptic properties and nutritional and health benefits. Algae are sustainable sources of proteins, minerals, and fiber, with well-balanced essential amino acids, pigments, and fatty acids, among other relevant metabolites for human nutrition. This review covers the hi...

The microbiome of the habitat‐forming brown alga Fucus vesiculosus (Phaeophycea...
Capistrant‐Fossa, Kyle A.; Morrison, Hilary G.; Engelen, Aschwin; Quigley, Charlotte T.C.; Morozov, Aleksey; Serrao, Ester; Brodie, JulietLatitudinal diversity gradients have provided many insights into species differentiation and community processes. In the well-studied intertidal zone, however, little is known about latitudinal diversity in microbiomes associated with habitat-forming hosts. We investigated microbiomes of Fucus vesiculosus because of deep understanding of this model system and its latitudinally large, cross-Atlantic range. Given...
Cultivating the macroalgal holobiont: effects of integrated multi-trophic aquac...
Califano, Gianmaria; Kwantes, Michiel; Abreu, Maria Helena; Da Silva Costa, Rodrigo; Wichard, ThomasUlva is a ubiquitous macroalgal genus of commercial interest. Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems promise large-scale production of macroalgae due to their high productivity and environmental sustainability. Complex host-microbiome interactions play a decisive role in macroalgal development, especially in Ulva spp. due to algal growth- and morphogenesis-promoting factors released by associated b...
