Wonder if these #brownalgae at Mill Bay #Salcombe #Devon are Dulse (Palmaria palmata) & Pepper Dulse (Osmundea pinnatifida), with the #redalgae Worm Weed (Dumontia contorta).
Also the marine #lichen (Lichina pygmaea). #algae #lichens #seaweed #phycologyfriday #seaweeds #alga #marinelife #sealife

Bull Kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) is a brown algae that can grow up to 118 ft tall, with a single hollow stalk topped by a carbon-monoxide-filled pneumatocyst and dozens of long blades.

As part of the @PAW_Germany, we’re happy tointroduce Josué Barrera-Redondo (@el_Dr_Barrera). He works in the Department of Algal Development & Evolution with #brownalgae genomics to understand the patterns and causes behind the birth of new genes.

Our Director Susana Coelho conducts research on algal development & evolution. The largest #brownalgae form natural #kelpforests. Find out why kelp forests are so important for us as humans! The OSPAR commission now considers kelp forests to be crucial and endangered habitats.

First day of @PAW_Germany! May we introduce @CDuchene3675: Carole is an algae-loving post-doc at @MPI_Bio, where she studies the infection of #brownalgae by marine viruses. She wants to understand the mechanisms that couple the virus cycle to the algal life cycle.
