Algal Pigments

Algae Dyes All photosynthetic plants contain specific dyes that capture sunlight. All plants have a common chlorophyll photosynthetic pigment, but other auxiliary dyes are different. These auxiliary pigments can be the same between two red algae or two green algae. In this laboratory, red, green and brown algae are used for extraction of photosynthetic pigment. We will also be from Coleus sp. A photosynthetic pigment which is a leaf of a red plant is extracted and its auxiliary pigment is compared with red algae.

Natural pigments (carotenoids and chlorophylls) produced by algae can be used as a substitute for chemical dyes and colorants. The presence of several individual algal pigments, as well as the specific pigment concentration ratios, are a specific classification: analysis of their concentrations by various analytical methods, especially high performance liquid chromatography, Provide insight into abundance. Algae population in seawater samples

Algae reproduction or algal propagation is a rapid increase or accumulation of algal population in a freshwater or seawater system and is identified by discoloration of water in the dye. So far, cyanobacteria have been mistaken for algae, cyanobacteria flowers are sometimes called algae. Flowers that may harm animals and ecosystems are called "harmful algae mass breeding" (HAB), causing death of fish, blocking water sources for residents, stopping fishing I will.

Red tide is a term commonly used for HAB in coastal areas; however, this term seems to be misleading as algae growth may be very different and algae growth is not related to the tide. As an adequate explanation for this phenomenon algae bloom or harmful algae bloom replaced red tide. Since many algae grow due to the influx of nutrient-rich outflows into the water, reducing waste water, reducing the use of excessive fertilizer in agriculture and reducing the large outflow of spills is a major source of algae Can be effectively reduced.
