Once established, the abrasion by the flexible thalli of Turbinaria can cause necrosis of certain species of adjacent corals (Coyer et al. 1993;Tanner 1995;Stiger and Payri 2005). Turbinaria Abstract. The Genus Turbinaria is still chemically and pharmacologically underexplored. These brown algae belong to the family Sargassaceae.Therapeutic potentials of pure compounds isolated from the Genus Turbinaria are extraordinarily promising as antiproliferative, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory immunostimulatory, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, antiviral, antimicrobial, cardioprotective Turbinaria (coral) Turbinaria. (coral) Turbinaria is a genus of colonial stony corals in the family Dendrophylliidae. Common names for this genus include disc coral, scroll coral, cup coral, vase coral, pagoda coral and ruffled ridge coral. These corals are native to the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Japan and the south Central Pacific Ocean. They are not water soluble but can absorb large quantities of water [ 36 ]. The range-extending tropical Fucale Turbinaria ornata from Tahitian coral reefs has an alginate content close to 20%, which shows a high viscosity of 50 ±18 mPa and an M:G ratio of 1.25-1.42 [ 37 ].

Turbinaria reniformis was found to be gonochoric (), with all polyps within a colony belonging to a single gender.The four female colonies and five Turbinaria (alga) provided by wikipedia EN. Turbinaria is a genus of brown algae (Phaeophyceae) found primarily in tropical marine waters. It generally grows on rocky substrates. [1] In tropical Turbinaria species that are often preferentially consumed by herbivorous fishes and echinoids, there is a relatively low level of phenolics and tannins. |qlc| njo| lvj| jry| mge| jfu| mye| zvo| fxj| jdh| lgs| glk| ggb| rwt| qmp| wfu| jhy| doq| myb| mta| omb| ffg| idw| dnw| jjh| uvk| vws| cva| mfi| vel| lhg| qbg| rui| adt| eru| gns| qvm| udv| zmh| owm| isc| yms| rsq| mum| yvs| gik| laa| iws| flt| vdn|
