Summary: The study found that A. nodosum extract could improve the adverse effects of low levels of NaCl (up to 25 mM) on mung bean sprouts, increasing their antioxidant activity. The DPPH free-radical-scavenging activity of the sprouts gradually increased with time and peaked at 24 hours. In saline combinations, treatment with low concentrations of ANE resulted in an increase in total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and reducing power of mung bean sprouts.

Summary: Poultry, especially broiler meat, is considered the main source of human campylobacteriosis. This study aimed to test a phlorotannin extract from brown seaweed as a potential control strategy against Campylobacter in broilers. In vitro tests showed bactericidal activity against various strains of Campylobacter. However, in vivo trials and experiments in commercial broiler flocks did not show significant effects on Campylobacter colonization or growth parameters when the extract was added to the feed. Further studies are needed to assess the presence of active polyphenols in the ceca.

Summary: This study investigated the valorization of the invasive macroalgae Ascophyllum nodosum by exploring the extraction of multiple products using ultrasound, microwave, and supercritical CO2 techniques. The results showed that using ethanol as the extraction solvent improved the yields and antioxidant activity. Furthermore, pretreatment with ultrasound and microwave enhanced the yield of carotenoids, total phenolics, and fatty acids in the extracts.

Summary: Breeding disease-resistant breeding stock, plants, or animals is an effective approach in agriculture. Genetically resistant animals have a permanent advantage, but caution must be taken to avoid inadvertently introducing negative traits during the development of positive traits.

Summary: This paper investigates the influence of Ascophyllum nodosum algae on oat, including seeds, microgreens, yield, and yield components. The experiments showed that different algae concentrations significantly impacted the chemical composition of oat. Both pot and field experiments demonstrated the beneficial effect of algae on oat yield, while pre-sowing magnetic field stimulation had no positive effect under field conditions.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of ultrasound treatment on the complex of Phycocyanin (PC) and phlorotannin in terms of their structural and functional characteristics. The results showed that ultrasound treatment and the addition of phlorotannin changed the structural and functional properties of PC. These findings demonstrate the potential application of ultrasound-assisted phlorotannin in improving the functional properties of PC and suggest the possibility of using PC-polyphenol complexes as functional food ingredients or bioactive materials.

Summary: This study found that seaweed-derived biochar showed high removal efficiency for Cu(II) in water, with Langmuir adsorption isotherm explaining the adsorption mechanisms. This indicates that waste biomass (seaweed) could be a valuable biological resource for removing heavy metals from various water bodies.

Summary: Among the innovative practices of dry-farming, the combined use of biostimulants and soil conditioners is playing an important role. A pot experiment was conducted to examine the effects of Ascophyllum nodosum-based biostimulant and zeolite on gas-exchange and spinach growth. The results showed that the use of zeolite and biostimulant increased soil water content and photosynthesis in spinach plants. The combined use of zeolite and A. nodosum-based biostimulant can improve water storage and spinach cultivation sustainability.

Summary: Biostimulants have been widely used in agriculture as growth enhancers and stress protectants. This study investigates how the modulation of nitrogen metabolites and potassium levels by biostimulants can mediate physiological mechanisms in response to salt or osmotic stress. Reshaping of amino acid metabolism is found to play a key role in coordinating ion homeostasis, osmotic adjustment, and scavenging of reactive oxygen species under increased osmotic stress. The Superfifty biostimulant shows potential for untangling nitrogen metabolism dynamics in response to salinity and osmotic stress.

Summary: Sulfated polysaccharides known as fucoidans, obtained from brown algae, have attracted attention due to their biological activities. Fucus vesiculosus and Ascophyllum nodosum, both belonging to Fucales order, are popular sources of commercial fucoidans. Despite their similarities in chemical composition and biological actions, these fucoidans differ considerably in their polysaccharide mixtures. Carefully characterized structures from both fucoidans may have valuable applications in drug development.
