Gloiopeltis Furcata
''Gloiopeltis furcata'', commonly known as glueweed, jelly moss and fukuro-funori (Japan), is a marine alga that is widely distributed in the North Pacific Ocean, along the shorelines of China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, and the Pacific shores of Russia; and from the Aleutian Islands south to Baja California. ''G. furcata'' has long been utilized as a food source in Asia, where it is also used as a sizing material in silk and other textiles. ''G. furcata'' is also a raw material for textile binders. Studies show that extracts of ''G. furcata'' inhibit the growth of several human cancer cell lines, and can significantly lower blood glucose levels. ''G. furcatas thallus is reddish brown to golden yellow, up to 5 cm (2 in) tall. The plant appears black when dry. The cylindrical branches are smooth. The basal crust is perennial, and produces a new crop of branches every year. [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Gigartinales
Gigartinales is a red algae order in the class Florideophyceae Florideophyceae is a class of exclusively multicellular 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 ex ....

Red Algae
Red algae, or Rhodophyta (, ; ), make up one of the oldest groups of eukaryotic algae. The Rhodophyta comprises one of the largest Phylum, phyla of algae, containing over 7,000 recognized species within over 900 Genus, genera amidst ongoing taxonomic revisions. The majority of species (6,793) are Florideophyceae, and mostly consist of multicellular, ocean, marine algae, including many notable seaweeds. Red algae are abundant in marine habitats. Approximately 5% of red algae species occur in freshwater environments, with greater concentrations in warmer areas. Except for two coastal cave dwelling species in the asexual class Cyanidiophyceae, no terrestrial species exist, 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. Red algae form a distinct group characterized by eukaryotic cells without flagella and centrioles, chloroplasts without external endoplasmic reticulum or unstack ...
