Assessment of light intensity and salinity regimes on the element levels of brown macroalgae, Treptacantha barbata: Application of response surface methodology (RSM)

“…Likewise, in our research, iron was detected in high amounts and evaluated within the macro group for better display on the optimization process. Similar elemental compositions were found in Sargassaceae family (Kravtsova et al, 2014;Vizetto-Duarte et al, 2016), and the different algae species which were collected from nearby locations (Berik & Çankırılıgil, 2019).…”

Macro and Trace Element Levels of Macroalgae Cystoseira foeniculacea ve Gongolaria montagnei Species from Mediterranean Region (Antalya/ Turkey)

“…In the study of Szelag-Sikora et al, (2016) the highest mean value for potassium in the Cystoseira barbata species was determined as 53.22 mg g -1 at Kamyshova station, and the lowest value was 19.91 mg g -1 at Pivdenna station. Kravtsova et al, (2014) found that the highest mean value for potassium in Cystoseira barbata species was 45.40 mg g -1 in spring, 22.60 mg g -1 in summer, the highest mean value in Cystoseira crinita species was 53.70 mg g -1 in spring and 46.70 mg g -1 in summer. The data obtained in our study was found to be similar to this study.…”

“…Sodium was determined as 6.46 mg g -1 in Cystoseira foeniculacea species and 8.36 mg g -1 in Gongolaria montagnei species in our study. Kravtsova et al, (2014) found that the highest mean value for sodium in Cystoseira barbata species was 11.30 mg g -1 in spring, 26.60 mg g -1 in summer, and the highest average value for sodium in Cystoseira crinita species was 20.00 mg g -1 in spring and 25.30 mg g -1 in summer. The data obtained in our study was found to be slightly lower than in these studies.…”

Cystoseira compressa and Ericaria mediterranea: Effective Bioindicators for Heavy- and Semi-Metal Monitoring in Marine Environments with Rocky Substrates

“…In fact, they can absorb toxic elements, are easy to sample, and have no trophic relationship with the substrate [18]. In particular, brown algae can accumulate huge amounts of HMs, and this makes them the preferred choice to monitor pollution in coastal areas [19][20][21]. That also aligns with the EU-Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD 2008/56/EC) [22], which recognises these algae as valuable indicators of water and ecosystem quality [23].…”
