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 mar...
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 investigat...
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 gametophy...
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 th...
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 (UPE...
