“…A substantial amount of beta-carotene and alpha tocopherol has also been reported (de Sousa et al 2008). The naturally harvested biomass from the West coast of India has been reported to possess antiviral properties against Japanese encephalitis virus (Sharma et al 1996). Recently, local food industries have developed interest in incorporating this species in popular snack items.…”

Seaweed cultivation is imperative to augment increasing industrial demand. Ulva fasciata Delile is a potential seaweed for cultivation with applications in food industries. There is a renewed interest in large-scale aquaculture of this species in India due to its envisaged demand in snack food products. In the present study, we have successfully demonstrated the possibility of inducing zoospores in vegetative tissue, effective regeneration and improved growth in this seaweed by manipulating salinity (from 15 to 30 psu) and temperature (from 15 to 35°C). The optimum salinity and temperature requirement for zoospores induction were found to be 15 psu and 25°C, respectively. The quadriflagellate zoospores showed negative phototaxis and the settlement and germination pattern similar to several other green seaweeds. The optimum regeneration (78.53±10.05%) was recorded at 25°C and 30 psu salinity. The maximum daily growth rate (16.1± 0.28%) was at 25°C and 30 psu salinity which corresponded to the field conditions. This method could be further refined at nursery culture to achieve artificial seeding essential for the success of commercial cultivation of this seaweed.

“…Because of increasing interest in sphingolipids due to their promising biological activities, we started a systematic study of the sphingolipid composition of marine flora and fauna collected from the Indian coast. During the course of these investigations, two ceramides showing antiviral activity from the green alga Ulva fasciata , and a novel Δ 6 phytosphingosine-type ceramide and its glycosyl derivatives from the sponge Sphirastrella inconstans , have been reported. Recently, a novel sulfated ceramide from Zoanthus species and phytosphingosine monohexosides from the starfish Pentaceraster regulus have been isolated.…”

Two new glycosphingolipids, temnosides A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from a MeOH extract of the sea urchin Temnopleurus toreumaticus. The proposed structures 1-O-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-d-(+)-(2S,3R)-2-[(2‘(R)-hydroxytricosanoyl]amido]-1,3-eicosanediol (1) and 1-O-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-d-(+)-(2S,3R)-2-(docosanoylamido)-1,3-eicosanediol (2) were established by FABMS, 2D NMR, and chemical degradation studies.

Marine macroalgae are emerging as sustainable and healthy food, and a source of lipids with nutritional and bioactive properties. Nonetheless, the lipidome of macroalgae is little explored compared to other photosynthetic organisms. Most of the literature is devoted to the analysis of fatty acid (FA) from macroalgae, because of they are a source of long-chain omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated FA, which can be used as an alternative to fish oil. However, FA occurs mostly esterified in other lipids, such as polar lipids, that still overlooked. The data published on the study of polar lipids (phospholipids, glycolipids, betaine lipids) pinpoint their remarkable characteristics and bioactive properties which mainly remain unexplored. The lipidome of macroalgae seems to be species-specific, while some lipid classes appear to be characteristic of phyla. Lipidome plasticity of macroalgae is verified to change under abiotic and biotic factors which may modulate the functionality and add-value of the biomass. This biochemical plasticity represents an advantage to obtain ingredients for target applications and niche of markets. This review provides an overview on macroalgae lipidome characterization, addressing analysis workflow based on liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, and discussing the bioactive properties and biotechnological applications of macroalga lipids. Practical Applications: The current state of the art on marine macroalgae lipidomics is reviewed, including the lipid characterization using modern liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, the distribution of polar lipids by macroalgae species and phylum, their bioactive properties, and potential biotechnological applications. In a time of increasing awareness of sustainably produced marine resources, the lipids from macroalgae are still underexplored. This review provides information for smart valorization of macroalgae as source of add-value lipids contributing to the development of blue bioeconomy.
