Halymeniales
Halymeniales is an order of red algae belonging to the class Florideophyceae and the subclass Rhodymeniophycidae. The type species is ''Halymenia'' . The red algae colour comes from photosynthetic pigments (phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, allophycocyanin). Then the various blends of relative amounts of these 3 and chlorophyll, influences the plant colour, which can vary from dark red to blue, brown, or greenish. History In 1996, Saunders and Kraft recognized a new name, the Halymeniales, for the red algal order that was previously known as the ''Cryptonemiales'' , based on small-subunit rRNA phylogenetic analyses. The adapted order of Halymeniales originally held the families of ''Halymeniaceae'' and ''Sebdeniaceae'' , and it was characterized by taxa with a multi-axial thallus, non-procarpic female reproductive development, outwardly directed carpogonial branches and intercalary auxiliary cells (Saunders and Kraft, 1996). Later Saunders and Kraft in 2002, transferred the genus ''T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Galactan
Galactan (galactosan) is a polysaccharide consisting of polymerized galactose. In general, galactans in natural sources contain a core of galactose units connected by α(1→3) or α(1→6), with structures containing other monosaccharides as side-chains. Galactan derived from '' Anogeissus latifolia'' is primarily α(1→6), but galactan from acacia trees is primarily α(1→3). '' Halymenia durvillei'' is a red seaweed (algae) with a great potential as sulphated galactan producer. Several other alga species also contain galactans. Including '' Carpopeltis .I.J.

Florideophyceae
Florideophyceae is a class of red algae. They were once thought to be the only algae to bear pit connections, but these have since been found in the filamentous stage of the Bangiaceae. They were also thought only to exhibit apical growth, but there are genera known to grow by intercalary growth. Most, but not all, genera have three phases to the life cycle. Classification There are various classification schemes; see red algae. One option is to use the following: Subclass Hildenbrandiophycidae * Hildenbrandiales Subclass Nemaliophycidae * Acrochaetiales * Balbianiales * Balliales * Batrachospermales * Colaconematales * Nemaliales * Palmariales * Entwisleiales * Thoreales Subclass Corallinophycidae * Corallinales * Corallinapetrales * Rhodogorgonales * Sporolithales The subclass Corallinophycidae was introduced in 2007. Subclass Ahnfeltiophycidae * Ahnfeltiales * Pihiellales Subclass Rhodymeniophycidae * Bonnemaisoniales * Ceramiales * Gelidiales * G ...

Red Algae
Red algae, or Rhodophyta (, ; ), are one of the oldest groups of eukaryotic algae. The Rhodophyta also comprises one of the largest phyla of algae, containing over 7,000 currently recognized species with taxonomic revisions ongoing. The majority of species (6,793) are found in the Florideophyceae (class), and mostly consist of multicellular, marine algae, including many notable seaweeds. Red algae are abundant in marine habitats but relatively rare in freshwaters. Approximately 5% of red algae species occur in freshwater environments, with greater concentrations found in warmer areas. Except for two coastal cave dwelling species in the asexual class Cyanidiophyceae, there are no terrestrial species, which may be due to an evolutionary bottleneck in which the last common ancestor lost about 25% of its core genes and much of its evolutionary plasticity. The red algae form a distinct group characterized by having eukaryotic cells without flagella and centrioles, chloroplasts that l ...

Halymenia Durvillei
''Halymenia'' a genus of a macroscopic red algae that grows in oceans worldwide. Species have been found in cold temperate areas but the highest diversity is found in warm temperate and tropical regions. For example, 41 names have been reported for the Indo-Pacific (Guiry & Guiry, 2011). Silva et al. (1996) listed 22 names (including two varieties) for the Indian Ocean. Species It includes the following species: *'' Halymenia abyssicola'' E.Y.Dawson *'' Halymenia actinophysa'' M.A.Howe *'' Halymenia angusta'' (J.Agardh) De Toni *'' Halymenia asymmetrica'' Gargiulo, de Masi & Tripodi *'' Halymenia bifida'' E.Y.Dawson *'' Halymenia brasiliana'' S.M.P.B.Guimarães & M.T.Fujii *'' Halymenia californica'' G.M.Smith & Hollenberg *'' Halymenia carnosa'' *''Halymenia cerratei'' C.O.Acleto *'' Halymenia chiangiana'' I.A.Abbott & Kraft *'' Halymenia clathrata'' E.C.Oliveira, Pinheiro-Vieira & R.E.Norris *''Halymenia cromwellii'' I.A.Abbott *'' Halymenia curvicornis'' J.Agardh *''Halymeni ...

Vietnam
Vietnam or Viet Nam ( vi, Việt Nam, ), officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,., group="n" is a country in Southeast Asia, at the eastern edge of mainland Southeast Asia, with an area of and population of 96 million, making it the world's sixteenth-most populous country. Vietnam borders China to the north, and Laos and Cambodia to the west. It shares maritime borders with Thailand through the Gulf of Thailand, and the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia through the South China Sea. Its capital is Hanoi and its largest city is Ho Chi Minh City (commonly known as Saigon). Vietnam was inhabited by the Paleolithic age, with states established in the first millennium BC on the Red River Delta in modern-day northern Vietnam. The Han dynasty annexed Northern and Central Vietnam under Chinese rule from 111 BC, until the first dynasty emerged in 939. Successive monarchical dynasties absorbed Chinese influences through Confucianism and Buddhism, and expanded ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Indian Ocean
The Indian Ocean is the third-largest of the world's five oceanic divisions, covering or ~19.8% of the water on Earth's surface. It is bounded by Asia to the north, Africa to the west and Australia to the east. To the south it is bounded by the Southern Ocean or Antarctica, depending on the definition in use. Along its core, the Indian Ocean has some large marginal or regional seas such as the Arabian Sea, Laccadive Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Andaman Sea. Etymology The Indian Ocean has been known by its present name since at least 1515 when the Latin form ''Oceanus Orientalis Indicus'' ("Indian Eastern Ocean") is attested, named after Indian subcontinent, India, which projects into it. It was earlier known as the ''Eastern Ocean'', a term that was still in use during the mid-18th century (see map), as opposed to the ''Western Ocean'' (Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic) before the Pacific Ocean, Pacific was surmised. Conversely, Ming treasure voyages, Chinese explorers in the Indian Oce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Madagascar
Madagascar (; mg, Madagasikara, ), officially the Republic of Madagascar ( mg, Repoblikan'i Madagasikara, links=no, ; french: République de Madagascar), is an island country in the Indian Ocean, approximately off the coast of East Africa across the Mozambique Channel. At Madagascar is the world's List of island countries, second-largest island country, after Indonesia. The nation is home to around 30 million inhabitants and consists of the island of Geography of Madagascar, Madagascar (the List of islands by area, fourth-largest island in the world), along with numerous smaller peripheral islands. Following the prehistoric breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, Madagascar split from the Indian subcontinent around 90 million years ago, allowing native plants and animals to evolve in relative isolation. Consequently, Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot; over 90% of wildlife of Madagascar, its wildlife is endemic. Human settlement of Madagascar occurred during or befo ...
