“…Marine macroalgae have been highly targeted for their potential as sources of promising biomolecules for a wide array of applications, including for agricultural purposes [ 8 , 9 ]. If these sources are provided from invasive species, their value is increased in terms of both potential biomolecule application and invasion control [ 10 , 17 , 40 , 41 , 42 ]. This is the case of the red algae A. armata , well known for its aggressiveness in the ecosystems that it invades and for its chemical arsenal to displace a wide number of species [ 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

Marine macroalgae have been increasingly targeted as a source of bioactive compounds to be used in several areas, such as biopesticides. When harvesting invasive species, such as Asparagopsis armata, for this purpose, there is a two-folded opportunity: acquiring these biomolecules from a low-cost resource and controlling its spreading and impacts. The secondary metabolites in this seaweed’s exudate have been shown to significantly impact the physiology of species in the ecosystems where it invades, indicating a possible biocidal potential. Considering this in the present work, an A. armata exudate cocktail was applied in the model weed Thellungiella halophila to evaluate its physiological impact and mode of action, addressing its potential use as a natural biocide. A. armata greatly affected the test plants’ physiology, namely, their photochemical energy transduction pathway (impairing light-harvesting and chemical energy production throughout the chloroplast electron transport chain), carotenoid metabolism and oxidative stress. These mechanisms of action are similar to the ones triggered when using the common chemical pesticides, highlighting the potential of the A. armata exudate cocktail as an eco-friendly biopesticide.

“…This assay was performed according to Félix et al [ 26 ], with minor modifications, preparing the working reagent by dissolving DPPH (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) radical in absolute ethanol at a concentration of 0.1 mg·mL −1 . Briefly, the extracts previously prepared in DMSO varying concentrations between 10 and 100 mg·mL −1 were used.…”

Brown seaweeds are recognized sources of compounds with a wide range of properties and applications. Within these compounds, phlorotannins are known to possess several bioactivities (e.g., antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial) with potential to improve wound healing. To obtain phlorotannins enriched extracts from Undaria pinnatifida, a biorefinery was set using low-cost industry-friendly methodologies, such as sequential solid–liquid extraction and liquid–liquid extraction. The obtained extracts were screened for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activity against five common wound pathogens and for their anti-inflammatory potential. The ethanolic wash fraction (wE100) had the highest antioxidant activity (114.61 ± 10.04 mmol·mg−1 extract by Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 6.56 ± 1.13 mM eq. Fe II·mg−1 extract by and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP)), acting efficiently against Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria, and showing a nitric oxide production inhibition over 47% when used at 0.01 µg·mL−1. NMR and FTIR chemical characterization suggested that phlorotannins are present. Obtained fraction wE100 proved to be a promising candidate for further inclusion as wound healing agents, while the remaining fractions analyzed are potential sources for other biotechnological applications, giving emphasis to a biorefinery and circular economy framework to add value to this seaweed and the industry.

“…The phenolic content shows an interesting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, which can be useful in the food and pharmaceutical industry [ 225 ]. Furthermore, S. muticum extract revealed bioactivities that protect shrimp against mortal diseases, such as Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Disease [ 226 ]. Nevertheless, the current main potential industrial exploitation from S. muticum is the alginate extraction; however, in this sector, kelps are preferentially used by the industry due to the higher yields.…”

Invasive Seaweeds in the Iberian Peninsula: A Contribution for Food Supply

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The introduction of exotic organisms in marine ecosystems can lead to economic and ecological losses. Globally, seaweeds represent a significant part of these non-indigenous species (NIS), with 407 introduced algal species. Furthermore, the presence of NIS seaweeds has been reported as a major concern worldwide since the patterns of their potential invasion mechanisms and vectors are not yet fully understood. Currently, in the Iberian Peninsula, around 50 NIS seaweeds have been recorded. Some of these are also considered invasive due to their overgrowth characteristic and competition with other species. However, invasive seaweeds are suitable for industrial applications due to their high feedstock. Hence, seaweeds’ historical use in daily food diet, allied to research findings, showed that macroalgae are a source of nutrients and bioactive compounds with nutraceutical properties. The main goal of this review is to evaluate the records of NIS seaweeds in the Iberian Peninsula and critically analyze the potential of invasive seaweeds application in the food industry.
