Abstract:
... Natural dyes are gaining importance in recent years due to their advantages in terms of ecology, but the need of heavy metal salt (mordant) usage is an important limitation for their use. For this reason, it is very important to find alternative methods for textile dyeing with industrial dye plants. At this point, enzymatic processes are an important alternative. One of the most recent application ...

Abstract:
... Seaweed-derived extracts are commonly used as biostimulants in agriculture and, more recently, to cultivate other types of seaweeds. Here, we examined if Ascophyllum marine plant extract powder (aka AMPEP) and Kelpak® influenced changes in the life history of the commercially important, Neopyropia yezoensis. N. yezoensis was cultured in von Stosch enriched (VSE) medium with different concentration ...
