Shifting #Climate Alters Pattern of #Atlantic’s Giant #Seaweed Blobs
Blooms of yellowish-brown seaweed along the Equator are breaking records and defiling beaches, while a centuries-old patch farther north is disappearing.
A study published Thursday in the journal Nature Geoscience finds a big shift in the growth patterns of #sargassum, a type of floating #macroalgae that provides food and shelter for fish, turtles, seabirds and other marine life.

Parthenogenetic techniques improve kelp genome assembly accuracy

Saccharina japonica, one of the most widely cultivated seaweeds globally, is particularly prominent along China's coastline, where it has been farmed in both cold-temperate and subtropical waters. Although traditional selective breeding and hybridization have yielded several high-quality varieties, the absence of a complete genome assembly has hindered further genetic advancements.

Algae Biofuel Is Booming Without Any Help From Exxon Mobil

Exxon Mobil dropped the algae biofuel ball last year, but many other firms are racing to carve out a spot in the bioeconomy of the future.
