Macroalgae are the larger, multicellular and more visible types of algae, commonly called seaweeds. Seaweeds usually grow in shallow coastal waters where they are anchored to the seafloor by a holdfast. Like microalgae, macroalgae (seaweeds) can be regarded as marine protists since they are not true plants.
Jan 1, 2019 · Marine macroalgae are a diverse group of multicellular, plant‐like protists that can be classified into brown (Phaeophyta), green (Chlorophyta) and red (Rhodophyta) algae.

Dec 31, 2023 · Marine macroalgae are generally safe to consume and contain numerous bioactive compounds, but direct consumption alone is insufficient for therapeutic applications. Further formulation is necessary, considering digestibility and biochemical profiling, to develop algae-based drugs and food products . However, conventional formulation methods ...
