    Molecular phylogeny and genetic diversity of the economic seaweed Meristotheca (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta) in the northwest Pacific, with a description of M. pilulaora sp. nov

    Species of the red algal genus Meristotheca are important natural resources that can be used directly as food for human consumption as well as raw materials for the extraction of carrageenan. Despite being harves...

    Genetic diversity and distribution pattern of economic seaweeds Pyropia yezoensis and Py. suborbiculata (Bangiales, Rhodophyta) in the northwest Pacific

    Pyropia yezoensis and Py. suborbiculata have been traditionally important for marine aquaculture as food resources in the northwest Pacific region. We conducted molecular analyses using plastid rbcL and mitochond...

    Genetic diversity hotspot of the amphi-Pacific macroalga Gloiopeltis furcata sensu lato (Gigartinales, Florideophyceae)

    Genetic diversity patterns around the North Pacific received attention for marine organisms and have been used to infer biodiversity “hotspots” in the region. We conducted a phylogeographic study of the red alga

    DNA barcoding of the funoran-producing red algal genus Gloiopeltis (Gigartinales) and description of a new species, Gloiopeltis frutex sp. nov.

    The funoran-producing red macroalga, Gloiopeltis, is known for its commercial uses. Since the economic value of Gloiopeltis is species-dependent, accurate species identification using molecular analysis such as D...

    Taxonomy of Grateloupia (Halymeniales, Rhodophyta) by DNA barcode marker analysis and a description of Pachymeniopsis volvita sp. nov.

    We applied DNA barcoding analysis to the red alga Grateloupia because it is one of the most complicated taxa in the family Halymeniaceae. We used two DNA barcoding markers, the 5′ end of the cytochrome c oxidase ...

    Mitochondrial cox1 and plastid rbcL genes of Gracilaria vermiculophylla (Gracilariaceae, Rhodophyta)

    The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene sequence was recently developed for DNA barcoding of red algal species. We determined the 1245 base pairs of the gene from 27 taxa of an agar-producing spe...

    A preliminary study of the bioremediation potential of Codium fragile applied to seaweed integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) during the summer

    In integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA), seaweeds have the capacity to reduce the environmental impact of nitrogen-rich effluents in coastal ecosystems. To establish such bioremediation systems, selecti...
