Fucus is a genus of brown algae found in the intertidal zones of rocky seashores almost throughout the world. The thallus is perennial with an irregular or disc-shaped holdfast or with haptera. [1] . The erect portion of the thallus is dichotomous or subpinnately branched, flattened and with a distinct midrib.

Like most (but not all) brown algae, Fucus is a large, multicellular organism that well-adapted to life in intertidal and shallow coastal waters, most commonly in relatively cool waters.

Fucus, genus of brown algae, common on rocky seacoasts and in salt marshes of northern temperate regions. Fucus species, along with other kelp, are an important source of alginates—colloidal extracts with many industrial uses similar to those of agar.

Fucus is a large multicellular organism that is most common in relatively cool waters, intertidal and shallow waters, and is well-adapted in life. Fucus belongs to a small group of eukaryotes who had a phylum of their own long ago, the Phaeophyta.

2023年3月31日 · Fucus forms broad, dense canopies in the mid intertidal zone and can extend well into the high zone, with plants becoming smaller and less dense at the upper edge of its tidal range. This fucoid is tolerant of a wide range of salinities, and occurs on the outer coast, on protected inland shores, and even in areas inundated by freshwater (O ...

Fucus vesiculosus is a type of brown seaweed that grows in the Baltic Sea, Atlantic Ocean, and North Pacific Ocean. The whole plant is used as medicine. Fucus vesiculosus contains varying...

2021年10月13日 · Fucus is a typical photoautotroph, using the energy of sunlight to synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and then using the carbohydrates as an energy source in cellular respiration and as building materials to synthesize a variety of biomolecules.

Fucus (rockweed) and Sargassum (gulfweed) are two important brown seaweeds belonging to the order Fucales. Although members of this order are distributed worldwide, temperate Fucales differ from tropical Fucales.

Fucus exhibits a unique feature in its life cycle pattern. It possesses a remarkably elaborate diploid phase which bears the male and female sex organs. Reduction divi­sion occurs during the development of gametes (antherozoids and eggs) only.
