- The genus Sargassum (Phaeophyta, Sargassaceae) from Balibago, Calatagan, PhilippinesAng, P. O.; Trono, G. C. (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 1987)Eight species of Sargassum: S. baccularia (Mertens) C. Agardh, S. cinctum J. Agardh, S. crassifolium J. A-gardh, S. ilicifolium (Turner) C. Agardh, S. notarisii Zanardini, S. oligocystum Montagne, S. paniculatum J. Agardh, and S. siliquosum J. Agardh are reported from Balibago, Calatagan, Philippines. Growth and changes in the morphology of the two most common species, S. paniculatum and S. siliquosum, were noted throughout their different growth phases over 1 1/2 years. Collections of material representing growth stages of the other species were made at periodic intervals. The more consistent morphological characters for each species were recognized and their utility in taxonomic work was discussed. These characters include outline and length/width ratio of the leaves characteristic of each branching order of laterals, shape and size of the vesicles, muricatous nature of the terminal branchlets, branching pattern of the receptacles, morphology of the female receptacles and the type of holdfast.
- Wound healing in cultured Eucheuma alvareziivar. tambalang DotyAzanza-Corrales, R.; Dawes, C. J. (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 1989)Wound healing in segments of Eucheuma alvarezii var. tambalang grown in enriched media in the laboratory can be divided into four stages based on histological and cytological changes. During the first stage, approximately 2—4 days after wounding, proteinaceous and phenolic substances concentrate on pit plugs of cells adjacent to the wounded surface. In the second stage, about the sixth day, cellular extensions are produced from the pits of medullary and cortical cells of sub-wound layer. During the third stage, about the 8th day, the cellular extensions divide several times and elongate towards the surface. A new cortical or wound tissue is formed during the fourth stage beginning on the 12th day. The wound tissue is continuous with the old cortex within 3 weeks.
