“…It is, however, slightly lower compared to the red algae G. vermiculophylla (% ≈22), Osmundea pinnatifida (% ≈20), Porphyra sp. (% ≈25), and Pterocladiella capillacea (% ≈20), which are traditionally used in the food industry [69,85,89,90]. These data corroborate that those seaweeds are an interesting source of protein.…”

Gelidium corneum is a well-known agarophyte, harvested worldwide for its high agar quality. However, the species also exhibits an interesting nutritional profile, but with seasonal variations. Therefore, to evaluate the nutritional value of G. corneum, ash, crude protein, total lipids, and carbohydrates were analyzed at different times of the year. The heavy metals mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium, and tin, as well as iodine were also measured. Finally, the seasonal antioxidant capacity of G. corneum extracts was evaluated. Our results indicate that the biomass is rich in protein (up to 16.25 ± 0.33%) and carbohydrates (up to 39.5 ± 3.29%), and low in lipids (up to 2.75 ± 0.28%), and especially in the summer, the AI, TI indexes, n-6/n-3 and h/H ratios (0.93, 0.6, 0.88 and 1.08, respectively) are very interesting. None of the contaminants exceeded the legally established limits, and the iodine values were adequate for a healthy diet. Finally, the antioxidant capacity is fair, with the DPPH £ 10.89 ± 1.46%, and ABTS £ 13.90 ± 1.54% inhibition, FRAP £ 0.91 ± 0.22 AAE.g−1, and TPC £ 6.82 ± 0.26 GAE.g−1. The results show that G. corneum is an attractive resource, with potential use as food or as a food supplement.

“…These results are particularly notable because they nearly double the species number in Pterocladiella , despite numerous previous taxonomic studies ( Shimada et al, 2000 ; Santelices, 2007 ; Tronchin and Freshwater, 2007 ; Freshwater et al, 2010 ; Sohrabipour et al, 2013 ; Boo et al, 2016a , 2016b , 2017 ; Iha et al, 2017 ; Wang et al, 2020 ). Simple morphology and rare occurrence of sexual reproductive structures ( Boo et al, 2010 ; Patarra et al, 2020 ), both of which reduce the number of morphological characters, plus a high degree of phenotypic plasticity, have hindered the discriminating power of traditional taxonomy of Pterocladiella . Pterocladiella can be added to the list of red algal taxa for which DNA sequences have resulted in a striking increase in species diversity, such as Portieria , Polysiphonia , Bangiales, and coralline red algae known as rhodoliths or maerl ( Payo et al, 2013 ; Pardo et al, 2014 ; Guillemin et al, 2016 ; Leliaert et al, 2018 ; Pezzolesi et al, 2019 ; Díaz-Tapia et al, 2020 ; Sissini et al, 2021 ).…”

“…These species can be dominant components of coastal habitats and act as ecological engineers. Some species serve communities as nurseries for intertidal invertebrates, host diverse microbial communities, and provide food for marine grazers such as green turtles, fishes, gastropods, and sea urchins ( Felicini and Perrone, 1994 ; Ibrahim et al, 2015 ; Campos and Cardona, 2020 ; Patarra et al, 2020 ). Although the genus, like most red algae, has a triphasic life cycle comprising tetrasporophytes, sexual gametophytes, and carposporophytes, male and female plants are rarely found in most species ( Boo et al, 2010 , 2017 ; Iha et al, 2017 ; Patarra et al, 2020 ).…”

Thus, reproduction likely depends on asexual, non-motile tetraspores or the regeneration of vegetative fragments or holdfasts, and the capacity of regeneration may help proliferate during sporadic dispersal events.…”

Ancient Tethyan Vicariance and Long-Distance Dispersal Drive Global Diversification and Cryptic Speciation in the Red Seaweed Pterocladiella

et al. 2022

We investigated the globally distributed red algal genus Pterocladiella, comprising 24 described species, many of which are economically important sources of agar and agarose. We used DNA-based species delimitation approaches, phylogenetic, and historical biogeographical analyses to uncover cryptic diversity and infer the drivers of biogeographic patterns. We delimited 43 species in Pterocladiella, of which 19 are undescribed. Our multigene time-calibrated phylogeny and ancestral area reconstruction indicated that Pterocladiella most likely originated during the Early Cretaceous in the Tethys Sea. Ancient Tethyan vicariance and long-distance dispersal have shaped current distribution patterns. The ancestor of Eastern Pacific species likely arose before the formation of the formidable Eastern Pacific Barrier—a first confirmation using molecular data in red algae. Divergences of Northeast and Southeast Pacific species have been driven by the Central American Seaway barrier, which, paradoxically, served as a dispersal pathway for Atlantic species. Both long- and short-distance dispersal scenarios are supported by genetic relationships within cosmopolitan species based on haplotype analysis. Asymmetrical distributions and the predominance of peripatry and sympatry between sister species suggest the importance of budding speciation in Pterocladiella. Our study highlights the underestimation of global diversity in these crucial components of coastal ecosystems and provides evidence for the complex evolution of current species distributions.

Toward the end of the 20th century, harvesting techniques were mechanized in France and Norway, in order to meet the increasing industrial demand and to improve access to fresh macroalgae, beyond storm-cast supplies [111,112].…”

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 historical consumption of algae in Europe, developments in the current European market, challenges when introducing new species to the market, bottlenecks in production technology, consumer acceptance, and legislation. The current algae species that are consumed and commercialized in Europe were investigated, according to their status under the European Union (EU) Novel Food legislation, along with the market perspectives in terms of the current research and development initiatives, while evaluating the interest and potential in the European market. The regular consumption of more than 150 algae species was identified, of which only 20% are approved under the EU Novel Food legislation, which demonstrates that the current legislation is not broad enough and requires an urgent update. Finally, the potential of the European algae market growth was indicated by the analysis of the trends in research, technological advances, and market initiatives to promote algae commercialization and consumption.
