Southeast Asia is an important marine biodiversity hotspot. Revealing the spatial patterns and environmental drivers
related to population genetic structure in this region is a prerequisite for conservation biogeography and genetics. In this
study, we applied two chloroplast m...
The genus Monoraphidium is a green microalgae distributed globally in freshwater ecosystems, and it is difficult to
classify morphologically. Molecular genetic markers have been used for their taxonomy, although they have not been
thoroughly evaluated. Here, we investig...
Bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) possesses a heteromorphic lifecycle that alternates between two phases: a large, diploid
sporophyte and a microscopic, haploid gametophyte. Recent research has suggested that bull kelp may be capable
of bypassing the microscopic gametop...
Hypoxia often causes the large-scale mortality of benthic organisms and alters the structure and function of pelagic
and benthic communities. Protists are a major component of pelagic and benthic communities. Using a metabarcoding
analysis, we explored the temporal changes in ...
Although Undaria pinnatifida sporophyll is rich in beneficial components such as polysaccharides, proteins, and phytochemicals,
its inaccessible structure limits its usability. To overcome this limitation, we ultrasonically extracted U. pinnatifida
sporophyll extract (U...
