This project is linked to a line of research initiated in our laboratory, as well as at the national level, related to the knowledge of the intraspecific diversity of seaweed, including approaches about reproduction, physiology and genetics. Two species of gracilarioid algae (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta), widely distributed on the Brazilian coast, are included in this project: Gracilaria ca…
The strain selection in seaweeds is a recent activity and it is restricted to oriental countries. In Brazil, many attempts of mariculture have failed; one of the reasons would be the absence of previous studies in laboratory. Recent approaches that include strain selection in gracilarioid algae (Gracilariales, Rhodophyta) in the Laboratório de Algas Marinhas (IBUSP) have shown promising r…

To develop smart and more sustainable cities, it is essential to make urban centers more productive. Marine aquaculture systems can be adapted to the reality of a metropolis to produce animals and algae to various markets. The possibility of adding value to these products to meet these markets can make urban aquaculture economically feasible, even on small scales. In addition, the proximi…
Intraspecific diversity includes phenotypic and genotypic expressions in individuals of a species, resulting from acclimation and adaptation processes. Gracilariopsis tenuifrons (C.J. Bird and E.C. Oliveira) Fredericq & Hommersand is an agarophyte widely distributed on the Brazilian coast. Studies that aim to know their diversity, intrapopulational or among the different populations distr…
Considering the importance of population genetic studies to better understand the distribution of marine benthic algae along the Brazilian coast, we selected as a model species Gracilaria caudata, one of the most important natural sources of agar in Brazil. The knowledge already obtained regarding the physiological and genetic differences between individuals within populations allows to e…
One of the main processes resulting from climate change in the marine environment is global warming. This warming has been confirmed by temperature data recorded of oceans in recent years. It is speculated an increase of 2-4°C in the average temperature of the planet, including the oceans, to 2100. Global warming is expected to produce large changes in the marine environment, such as chan…

Considering the importance of population genetic studies to better understand the distribution of marine benthic algae along the Brazilian coast, we selected as a model species Gracilaria caudata. Previous studies identified geographical structuring for populations along the Brazilian coast, indicating the existence of a possible genetic barrier influenced by environmental factors. The th…
