Algae, a crucial constituent of marine systems, serve an indispensable function as primary producers, supporting the food web, contributing to carbon sequestration, and providing habitats that sustain biodiversity. This review focuses on bioactive constituents algae, including polysaccharides, polyphenols, polypeptides, terpenoid compounds, discusses their potential applications in treating immune-related diseases, well mechanisms through which they modulate immune responses. The substances derived from peptides, terpenes, polysaccharides other may play preventive role by modulating allergic responses reducing incidence inflammation cancer.

Chromosome-level genome assembly for the ecologically and economically important alga Saccharina japonica

Scientific Data, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 12(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 18, 2025

Abstract Saccharina japonica is a major kelp species of brown algae with the highest production among aquaculture seaweeds and holds important ecological economic value. Despite advancements in domestication, high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly needed to assist its genetic improvement. Previous assemblies S. were either on draft-level or highly fragmented. Here, we generated for female sporophyte using PacBio sequencing Hi-C. The 516.11 Mb, contig N50 length 491.30 Kb scaffold 16.24 anchored into 32 pseudo-chromosomes. Repetitive elements constituted 45.07% genome, 17,739 protein-coding genes predicted, which 82% functionally annotated. This provides crucial resource biotechnological advances breeding offers insights ecology evolution algae.

Mechanisms underlining Kelp (Saccharina japonica) adaptation to relative high seawater temperature

BMC Genomics, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 26(1)

Опубликована: Фев. 24, 2025

Saccharina japonica has been cultivated in China for almost a century. From Dalian to Fujian, the lowest and highest seawater temperatures period of cultivation increased by 14℃ 8℃, respectively. Its adaptation elevated temperature is an example securing natural habitats species. To decipher mechanisms underlining S. relative high temperature, we assembled ~ 516.3 Mb female gametophyte genome 540.3 male, The gametophytes isolated from southern kelp cultivars acclimated transforming amino acids, glycosylating protein, maintaining osmotic pressure, intensifying innate immune system, exhausting energy reduction power through PEP-pyruvate-oxaloacetate node iodine cycle. They adapted changing sugar metabolism system. sex was determined HMG-sex, around this male determiner stress tolerant genes become linked or associated with.
