Elemental and nutritional characterisation with vibrational spectroscopy analys...
Mouga, Teresa; Almeida, Mariana M.; Pitacas, F.I.; Rodrigues, A.M.; Vitória, Cláudia; Anjos, O.Macroalgae are rich in bioactive compounds with potential therapeutic applications, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, and nutritional properties. In this study, the biochemical composition of three seaweed species—Ulva sp., Gracilaria multipartita, and Sargassum muticum—was analysed, focusing on their mineral content and macronutrient profile. The ash, protein, fibre, lipid, and carbohydrate contents ranged...

Assessing Ecological Quality on the Rocky Coast of Abalo Beach, Portugal
Mouga, TeresaPortugal’s rich marine biodiversity, home to approximately 550 seaweed species, is distributed across biogeographical regions influenced by Atlantic and Mediterranean climates. Human-induced stressors, including habitat degradation, pollution, and climate change, have impacted seaweed ecosystems, changed the distribution patterns and promoting the invasion of alien species. This paper evaluates the ecological d...

The Vibrant Spectra of the Oceans: Unravelling the Diversity, Functions, and Ap...
Freitas, Marta V.; Afonso, Clélia; Pereira, Leonel; Mouga, TeresaSeaweeds are photosynthetic organisms that harvest sunlight and convert it into essential energy through a highly effective biochemical process powered by light, which in turn is captured and directed to the reactive centers by pigments. Seaweed pigments are fundamental to the seaweed photosynthetic process and are also responsible for their current taxonomic classification into three distinct divisions. The Ch...
Optimizing Growth Conditions and Biochemical Properties of Chondracanthus acicu...
Mouga, Teresa; Sousa, Andreia; Freitas, Marta; Afonso, CléliaThis study aimed to evaluate the laboratory cultivation of Chondracanthus acicu laris, focusing on key environmental parameters such as nutrient levels and light exposure. The results provide insights into the optimal growth conditions and biochemical com position of C. acicularis, which are crucial for its sustainable exploitation in industrial applications. Significant differences in the relative growth rate ...
Assessing High-Value Bioproducts from Seaweed Biomass: A Comparative Study of W...
Ferreira, Henrique S.; Mouga, Teresa; Lourenço, Sílvia; Matias, Margarida H.; Freitas, Marta V.; Clélia Neves-AfonsoThis study aimed to evaluate the biochemical composition and bioactivities of biomass derived from wild (Laminaria ochroleuca and Saccorhiza polyschides) and cultivated (Macrocystis pyrifera) kelps, as well as industrially extracted residual pulp from M. pyrifera, to assess the potential production of high value bioproducts. All samples had a low lipid content, with M. pyrifera having the lowest (1.3% dw) and S...
From Form to Function: The Anatomy, Ecology, and Biotechnological Promise of th...
Afonso, Clélia; Mouga, TeresaSaccorhiza polyschides is a fast-growing pioneer and opportunistic canopy-forming false-kelp belonging to the order Phyllariaceae (Ochrophyta, Phaeophyceae). The species plays a pivotal ecological role in temperate marine ecosystems and exhibits promising potential for diverse biotechnological applications. The species, however, is under growing pressure from anthropogenic disturbance. This review synthesises c...
