Biochemical properties green and red macrophyte species from littoral waters of estuary

Abstract

Algae can be an interesting natural source of novel compounds with biological activity. Some algae are organisms that live in complex habitats subjected to extreme environmental conditions (salinity, temperature, and nutrients). The diversity of macrophyte species plays a significant role, since some species belong to the green or red macrophyte species. Both species grow in the coastal waters along the estuary and in different areas grow different species of algae with a different amount of biomass per square meter of littoral waters. We have interest mainly in the five recreation areas of the Tiligul estuary. It includes: Tashinskaya, Atamanskaya Kosa (Chieftain Spit), Anatolevskaya, Chervono-Ukrainka and Koblevo recreation areas.
