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.
Oct 11, 2020 · The use of different marine macroalgae (seaweed) as sources of bioactive compounds had the advantage to exploit an under-utilized renewable natural resource. It was demonstrated that this biomass produced a broad spectrum of nutrient and bioactive secondary metabolites.
