The consumption of Ascophyllum nodosum has been proven to have dental benefits in humans, [27] [28] dogs [29] [30] and cats. [30] In addition to dental benefits, A. nodosum can reduce inflammation and speed up healing, especially after a serious injury. [6] Brown algae contains fucoidans, which are sulfated, fucose-rich polymers.
With the use of 16S rRNA and fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing, Renaut et al. examined the effect of Ascophyllum nodosum extract treatment on the rhizospheres of pepper and tomato plants in greenhouses. [74] This group found that bacterial and fungal species composition and community structures differed based on treatment. [74]
Chemical structure of tetrafucol A, a fucol-type phlorotannin found in the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum Durvillaea antarctica, a brown algae containing phlorotannins. Phlorotannins are a type of tannins found in brown algae such as kelps and rockweeds [1] or sargassacean species, [2] and in a lower amount also in some red algae. [3]
