Article Abstract
Marine red macroalgae has attracted researchers' consideration as a non-lignocellulosic feedstock for microbial growth to produce biofuels and biochemical products. Gelidium amansii is representative galactose-rich red macroalgae biomass but studies on its galactose utilization are currently scarce. Herein, we engineered Pseudomonas putida KT2440 as a functional chassis for assimilation of galactose in addition to glucose in G. amansii hydrolysate. P. putida KT2440 was confirmed owning high ability to oxidize galactose to galactonate by glucose dehydrogenase. Thereafter galactose-oxidation pathway was extended by introducing galactonate transport and metabolism modules from Pseudomonas rhodesiae NL2019. The recombinant strains NL910 and NL911 were able to grow on galactose with high cell densities and growth rates, and simultaneously upgrade all red macroalgae streams, which is essential to develop a sustainable and cost-effective bioprocess for valorization of red macroalgae.

Seaweeds are marine macroalgae that are rich in various secondary metabolites known to exhibit different biological activities such as anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, etc. This study aimed to determine the bioactive metabolites, as well as the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of two red algae (Ceramium virgatum and Gracilaria corticata) and two green algae (Enteromorpha flexuosa and Ulva fasciata), which are prevalent in the coastal region of the Bay of Bengal. The total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined using the Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminium chloride methods.

Kappa carrageenan (KC), a sulfated polysaccharide derived from red seaweed, exhibits distinct gelation properties that are influenced by ionic strength and thermal conditions. While its behavior in aqueous media is well-established, understanding KC's gelation mechanisms in non-aqueous solvents (like glycerol) remains limited. This study investigates the conformational and rheological properties of kappa carrageenan in glycerol, focusing on the effects of sodium salts (NaCl, NaHPO, NaPO) at varying concentrations and preparation temperatures (60 °C and 80 °C).

Two Gram-stain-negative and rod-shaped bacteria, designated as RZ5 and RZ22, isolated from a red macroalgae sample, were characterized by a polyphasic approach to clarify their taxonomic position. Strain RZ5 grew at 4-33 °C (optimum, 25-28 °C), pH 6.5-8.

Growing environmental concerns over petroleum-based plastics have intensified research into bio-based packaging materials from renewable marine resources. This study reports the fabrication and comprehensive characterization of nanostructured biofilms produced from semi-refined carrageenan (SRC) extracted from red seaweed, reinforced with cellulose nanofibers (CNF) to address the inherent limitations of seaweed-based films, including poor mechanical strength and moisture sensitivity. SRC retaining residual cellulose was combined with varying CNF loadings (0-7 wt%) to enhance structural integrity and moisture-related barrier potential.

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing anthropogenic stressor affecting all biological levels of complexity. Despite this, only a few studies have measured its influence on photosynthetic organisms, and even fewer its effects on macroalgae and their interaction with herbivores. Of particular interest is the potential influence of ALAN on secondary metabolites, such as phenolic compounds, that are used by macroalgae to deter herbivores.
