Recently, several mutant laver Pyropia yezoensis strains were developed. In this study, control laver Pyropia yezoensis and its mutant Py500G were compared for their amino acid contents and antioxidative activities. There was no significant difference of total amino acid contents between wild-type and mutant Py500G, but mutant had higher free amino acid contents than wild-type. Also, total phenolic content was higher in mutant Py500G. Phycoerythrin and phycocyanin contents were higher in wild-type. But, antixoidative activities were shown to be higher in mutant Py500G. These results will be useful for the development of new cultivar of Pyropia.

Red rot disease has caused a major decline in Pyropia (Nori) crop production in Korea, Japan, and China. To date, only Pythium porphyrae (Pythiales, Oomycetes) has been reported as the pathogen causing red rot disease in Pyropia yezoensis (Rhodophyta, Bangiales). Recently, Pythium chondricola was isolated from the infected blades of Py. yezoensis during molecular analyses using the mitochondrial cox1 region. In this study, we evaluated the pathogenicity of P. chondricola as an algal pathogen of Py. yezoensis. Moreover, a new cox2 marker was developed with high specificity for Pythium species. Subsequent to re-inoculation, P. chondricola successfully infected Py. yezoensis blades, with the infected regions containing symptoms of red rot disease. A novel cox2 marker successfully isolated the cox2 region of Pythium species from the infected blades of Py. yezoensis collected from Pyropia aquaculture farms. cox2 sequences showed 100% identity with that of P. chondricola (KJ595354) and 98% similarity with that of P. porphyrae (KJ595377). The results of the pathogenicity test and molecular analysis confirm that P. chondricola is a new algal pathogen causing red rot disease in Pyropia species. Moreover, it could also suggest the presence of cryptic biodiversity among Korean Pythium species.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of yanggaeng prepared from agar, sugar, honey, oligosaccharide, cooked white bean paste, and different amounts (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5%) of Pyropia yezoensis powder. The moisture, pH, sugar content, color, texture, antioxidant activity, and sensory properties of yanggaeng were investigated. The moisture content of yanggaeng did not change despite the increasing amount of P. yezoensis. The pH and sugar content decreased with increasing P. yezoensis concentration. The lightness decreased significantly, whereas the redness and yellowness increased with increasing amounts of P. yezoensis. Regarding texture profile analysis, the hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and cohesiveness decreased with increasing P. yezoensis content. The antioxidant activity of yanggaeng increased with increasing concentrations of P. yezoensis powder. Yanggaeng containing 2.5% P. yezoensis had the highest overall sensory acceptance score. Therefore, the addition of P. yezoensis to yanggaeng appears to improve its quality and antioxidant activity.

Red algal mitochondrial genomes (mtDNAs) can provide useful information on species identification. mtDNAs of Pyropia / Porphyra (Bangiales, Rhodophyta) have shown diverse variation in their size and gene structure. In particular, the introns and intronic open reading frames found in the ribosomal RNA large subunit gene (rnl) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1) significantly vary the mitochondrial genome size in Pyropia / Porphyra species. In this study, we examined the exon / intron structure of rnl and cox1 genes of Pyropia yezoensis at the intraspecific level. The combined data of rnl and cox1 genes exhibited 12 genotypes for 40 P. yezoensis strains, based on the existence of introns. These genotypes were more effective to identify P. yezoensis strains in comparison to the traditional DNA barcode cox1 marker (5 haplotypes). Therefore, the variation in gene structure of rnl and cox1 can be a novel molecular marker to discriminate the strains of Pyropia species.

Gamma irradiation is one of the simple methods used to induce mutagenesis. Therefore, it is widely used for the development of breeding lineages of plants and algae. In this study, it was developed a new variety of Pyropia yezoensis using gamma irradiation. It was applied a dose of 1 kGy and named the developed mutant Py1k. The blade with width of the mutant was narrower and the blade length was longer than those of the wild type. To further investigate the mutant, it was analyzed the nutrient composition and antioxidant activity. In comparison to those in the wild type, it was found a higher amino acid composition and marginally increased antioxidant activity in Py1k. Based on these results, it was suggests that our protocol can be utilized to develop Pyropia species with improved nutritional quality through gamma irradiation.

Herein, two experiments were performed to determine the appropriate pH range and immersion time for organic acid-activating treatment (OAT) in a Pyropia farm. The effects of pH (0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, and 2.00) on the cell mortality of Pyropia yezoensis and Ulva linza thalli were tested after 20 sec of immersion under OAT. In addition, the cell mortality of the two species was estimated under various combinations of immersion time (30, 60, and 120 sec) and pH (1.00, 1.50, and 2.00). Upon 20 sec of immersion under OAT conditions, the cell mortality of P. yezoensis did not differ at any pH but that of U. linza exceeded 90% at a pH range of 0.50-1.00. P. yezoensis showed little cell mortality upon 30 sec of immersion, but its mortality exceeded 55% upon 120 sec of immersion at a pH range of 1.00-1.50. U. linza showed 67.9-100% mortality at a pH of 1.50 and 100% mortality at a pH of 1.00, regardless of the immersion time (30-120 sec). These results indicate that for the effective removal of U. linza, the optimal pH range is 1.00-1.50 and the optimal immersion time is 20-30 sec.

Acadian marine plant extract powder (AMPEP) and Kelpak are commercial biostimulants derived from brown algae Ascophyllum nodosum. This study was to determine if AMPEP and Kelpak can induce thermal resistance in Pyropia yezoensis. P. yezoensis blades were exposed to different concentrations (control: 0, low: 0.001, high: 1 ppm) of AMPEP and Kelpak at 10℃ for 6 and 7 days, respectively. Those blades were then cultivated in von Stosch enriched seawater medium at different temperatures (10, 15, 20, and 25℃) with 12 : 12 L : D photoperiod and 100 µmol m^-2 s^-1 of photosynthetically active radiation for additional 15 days. Results showed that P. yezoensisreproduced archeospores at 20 and 25℃ at all biostimulant conditions within 15 days. At lower temperatures (10 and 15℃), only AMPEP-treated P. yezoensis reproduced archeospores. P. yezoensis exposed to 1 ppm Kelpak exhibited higher phycoerythrin and phycocyanin contents than control and 0.001 ppm conditions at 15℃. AMPEP-treated conditions showed higher phycoerythrin and phycocyanin contents than control at 10℃. These results suggest that AMPEP and Kelpak may not enhance the thermal resistance of P. yezoensis. However, AMPEP stimulated archeospores release at lower temperatures. The treatment of AMPEP and Kelpak also increased the pigment contents in P. yezoensis. These results suggest that the use of seaweed-derived biostimulants can provide some economic benefits in P. yezoensis aquaculture. The enhancement of archeospores formation by AMPEP at lower temperature may also increase the productivity since Pyropia farming relies on the accumulation of secondary seedings via asexual reproduction.

We examined the protective effects of Pyropia yezoensis glycoprotein (PYGP) against ethanol-induced gastric damage. The experimental animals were divided into four groups. They were treated with distilled water (control), ethanol alone (EtOH), ethanol + PYGP 150 mg/kg BW (EtOH+150), or ethanol + PYGP 300 mg/kg BW (EtOH+300). The groups were treated for 4 weeks. We measured mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), the apoptotic signaling pathway, and PARP activity in gastric tissues obtained from the rats. Ethanol consumption increased apoptotic signal activity and ERK, JNK, and p38 phosphorylation. PYGP reduced the apoptotic signaling pathway activity and ERK, JNK, and p38 phosphorylation. Furthermore, PYGP regulated Bcl-2 family expression. In light of these findings, PYGP appears to prevent ethanol-induced gastric injury and oxidative stress.
