Em morangueiros, a mancha das folhas, causada por Mycosphaerella fragariae, é uma das doenças mais comuns na cultura, o que torna importantes os estudos de controle alternativo e de cultivares, sobre o progresso da epidemia. Em busca de práticas alternativas para seu controle, avaliou-se o efeito de cultivares de morangueiro e do extrato da alga Ascophyllum nodosum, na expressão dos sintomas de mycosphaerella, além de avaliar o ajuste de modelos de crescimento para o progresso temporal da incidência e severidade da doença. Utilizou-se o extrato de algas a 29%, na dose de 2 L ha-1, aplicado no solo, na folha e em ambos. As cultivares Dover, Toyonoka, Albion, Camarosa, Ventana, Campinas, Tudla e Camino Real foram avaliadas, quinzenalmente, quanto a incidência e severidade da doença. Utilizou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com parcelas subdivididas e três repetições. Com os dados de incidência e severidade, calculou-se a área abaixo da curva de progresso da doença e utilizou-se a análise de variância para avaliar o efeito de cultivares e do extrato de algas. Aos dados do progresso temporal da incidência e da severidade, em cada cultivar, foram ajustados os modelos monomolecular, logístico e de Gompertz. O extrato de algas não apresentou efeito ou interação com cultivares, no controle da mycosphaerella. Houve efeito de cultivar com menor intensidade da doença, em Albion e Ventana, devido, principalmente, ao atraso na epidemia, pela redução do inóculo inicial efetivo. Aos dados de progresso temporal da incidência e da severidade ajustaram-se, respectivamente, os modelos logístico e monomolecular, para todas as cultivares.

ABSTRACT In this study, we found that a sulfated polysaccharide isolated from the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum, ascophyllan, showed suppressive effects on stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Ascophyllan significantly inhibited expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase mRNA and excessive production of nitric oxide (NO) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner without affecting the viability of RAW264.7 cells. Ascophyllan also reduced the elevated level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, preincubation with ascophyllan resulted in concentration-dependent decrease in ROS production in phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Our results suggest that ascophyllan can exhibit anti-inflammatory effects on stimulated macrophages mainly through the attenuation of NO and ROS productions.

AbstractSeaweeds are a valuable potential source of protein, as well as free amino acids (FAAs) with umami flavour which are in high demand by the food industry. The most commonly used flavouring agents in the food industry are chemically synthesised and therefore are subject to concerns regarding their safety and associated consumer resistance. This study focuses on the effects of extraction time (1 and 2 h) and solvents (0.1 M HCl, 1% citric acid and deionised water) on the extraction of protein and FAAs including umami FAAs from Irish brown seaweeds (Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus vesiculosus). Extraction yields were influenced by both the extraction solvent and time, and also varied according to the seaweed used. Both seaweeds investigated were found to be good sources of protein, FAAs including umami FAAs, demonstrating potential application as flavouring agents in the food industry. Overall, the use of green solvents (deionised water and citric acid) resulted in higher recoveries of compounds compared to HCl. The results of this study will facilitate the use of more sustainable solvents in industry for the extraction of proteins and flavouring agents from seaweed.

Two medium-scale ecosystems (mesocosms) were built on the Oslofjord: one a hard-bottom intertidal system and the other a subtidal soft-sediment system. The hard-bottom mesocosm consists of four basins, two controls and two which were dosed with diesel-oil (129 μg 1 -1 a high oil (HO) dose and 29 μg 1 -1 a low oil (LO) dose). Both oil doses caused high mortality of Mytilus edulis and growth was reduced in the macroalgae Ascophyllum nodosum and Laminaria digitata . Recruitment of Littorina littorea was also affected by oil so that populations declined over time. Subtidal benthic communities have been established in the mesocosm and show variations in sediment chemistry within the range found in the field. Although recruitment of benthic macrofauna is reduced, dominant species and species structure remain closely similar to that in the field over six months. Bioturbation effects studied in the mesocosm have shown the important influence of large, rare species in structuring benthic communities, a finding which would not be possible in nature by diving or by the use ofsubmersibles. Preliminary results from a community taken from 200 m depth and established in the mesocosm suggest that it is now possible to do detailed manipulation experiments on communities simulating the whole continental shelf.
