Inhibition of grazing by chemical and physical interference is one promising solution; however, there have been few empirical tests of this approach that use defense traits innate to algal crop species. <i>Botryococcus braunii</i> is of particular interest because a) it excretes high levels of hydrocarbons and exopolysaccharides and b) forms colonies and possesses chemical defenses. Here we conduct a controlled laboratory experiment to test whether <i>B. braunii</i> can mitigate losses to grazing by two distinct grazers, <i>Daphnia magna</i> and <i>Poterioochromonas malhamensis</i>, due to both chemical inhibition and physical interference linked to large/inedible colonies. We show that chemical and physical defenses interactively reduce the total effect of grazing, thus significantly increasing the biomass and growth rates of cultures of <i>B. braunii</i> and <i>Nannochloropsis limnetica</i> when either grazer is present. We also find that <i>B. braunii</i> medium enhances the growth of <i>N. limnetica</i>. Our study demonstrates how community engineering can identify synergies arising from algal co-cultivation (e.g., by using industrially relevant strains for crop protection). While our lab study serves as a proof-of-concept, future research should test this strategy at pilot scale; if successful, such ecological discoveries may help to reduce the costs of large-scale deployment of algal cultivation for sustainable foods, fuels, bioproducts (e.g., bioplastics), and carbon capture.</p>","PeriodicalId":15086,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Phycology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142188415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the last 50 years, the same clones of the red eucheumatoid <i>Kappaphycus alvarezii</i> and <i>Kappaphycu</i>s <i>striatus</i> have been vegetatively propagated for cultivation resulting in low genetic diversity. This has made the cultivars more vulnerable to pests and diseases, which has been further exacerbated by climate change. There is an urgent need, therefore, to develop new cultivars that are resilient to pests and diseases, as well as environmental change. In this study, wild eucheumatoids were collected from four regions in Semporna, East Malaysia: Kerindingan, Sibuhun, Sebangkat and Omadal. These eucheumatoids were then grown at a commercial seaweed farm in Silungun, Semporna using two methods: i) tie-tie and ii) basket net for 60 days and their performance was evaluated based on growth and survival rates. A higher mean specific growth rate (SGR) was recorded by wild-collected <i>Kappaphycus</i> spp. (2.15 ± 1.90% day⁻¹) and <i>Eucheuma denticulatum</i> (2.83 ± 3.27% day⁻¹) when tie-tie was used.

Once tetrasporophytes were removed from these inducing conditions, tetrasporogenesis ceased within 12 days. In a further five-week experiment investigating the effect of separate supplementation of As₂O₃ and KI, germling numbers were maximised under supplementation with either As₂O₃ or As₂O₃ + KI, with the relative growth rate of tetrasporophytes maximised under supplementation with F/8 + As₂O₃ + KI.

The aim of this study was to assess the biostimulant activity of the soil microalga <i>Chlorella vulgaris</i> on seed germination performance. The effects of extraction method and plant choice on the biostimulant activity of <i>C. vulgaris</i> were investigated via the comparison of the composition and activity of four extraction techniques (aqueous extraction, acid hydrolysis extraction, organic solvent extraction, microwave-assisted aqueous extraction) on two different plant seed models (wheat and tomato). Seeds were soaked with four different concentrations (from 0.1 g L⁻¹ to 2 g L⁻¹) to determine dose-dependent effects. Results demonstrated significant differences in extracts biochemical composition and biostimulant effects on seed germination enhancement. Extract composition in terms of biomolecules concentrations revealed significant dissimilarities. Seed germination indices and biometric parameters were significantly improved by lower doses (0.1 g L⁻¹ and 1 g L⁻¹), while higher doses (2 g L⁻¹) usually revealed negative effects. The best increases in wheat and tomato seed germination parameters were reached by using acid hydrolysis, aqueous and microwave-assisted aqueous extracts at lower doses.
