Dr. Josephine Tilden (1869-1957) American Phycologist | Prominent Algologists around the World | Scientist of the Week

Scientist of the Week Dr. Josephine Tilden: Scientist of the week Dr. Josephine Tilden (24 March 1869 to15 May 1957) was one of the most enthusiastic and dedicated phycologist; indefatigable as a teacher, researcher, and bibliographer. She was born on March 24, 1869, in Davenport, Iowa, US. Tilden believed strongly in the equality of women and despite many obstacles never let her gender impede her from pursuing her remarkable career. Prof. Conway MacMillan introduced her to the world of algae at the University of Minnesota.  In 1894 she prepared and distributed the first 'Century  (100 species) of her American Algae, an exsiccate that eventually included 32,500 specimens of both freshwater and marine taxa. Tilden had an uncanny skill for finding superb collecting sites. Perhaps the most famous of her sites is Botanical Beach, an area located near Port Renfrew. Here she established the world-famous 'Minnesota Seaside Station' where she conducted Marine biology courses durin

A New species of red alga has been named after our Senior Scientist Prof. B. B. Chaugule | Kumanoa chaugulei new species of red algae from Kerala

Image
 Dear researchers and Students,     This article introduces Kumanoa chaugulei Jayalakshmi & John, 2021... Kumanoa chaugulei  Jayalakshmi & John from Kerala (Phycologia)     Kumanoa chaugulei is a newly described freshwater red algae from Kerala, India. This article is published in Phycologia Journal (17th, June 2021). The alga was collected from Idamalayar, a major tributary of Periyar River, Kerala, India, and described based on morphology and molecular phylogeny.  This is the first study from India on Batrachospermacea e with Molecular phylogeny data. In the introduction, the authors have discussed Freshwater red algae and Batrachospermales members and on previous reports. In materials and methods the collection site with GPS, morphology, and molecular data methods. The result part has Morphology and molecular data. Maximum-likelihood (ML) tree has been generated using the rbcL and COI-5P concatenated sequence data. Morphological data are given as the description of the n

Prof. Johan Harald Kylin (1879 – 1949) Swedan Phycologist | Prominent Algologists around the World | Scientist of the Week

Image
Prof. Johan Harald Kylin - Scientist of the Week      Prof. Johan Harald Kylin (5 February 1879 – 16 December 1949) had remarkable versatility and made major biochemical and physiology discoveries on brown, green and red seaweeds; but know only for his contribution to red algal systematics. His undoubted scientific prowess was married to a firm belief in steady, hard work, an iron will, and a high level of personal organization.       Arctic phycologist F. R. Kjellman influenced him greatly at Uppsala and developed a life-long interest in marine algae. Although, he obtained employment as Conservator at the Botanical Museum of Uppsala, the time he spent during 1912-13 at the Leipzing laboratory of Wilhelm Pfeffer - which at that time was the Mecca of plant physiologists gave him great insights into physiology which he later used in marine algae - several of the aspects first time in the world. He has the Chair in anatomy and physiology at Lund in 1920 where he remained until his retirem

Three new species of Diatoms have been described from Indian subcontinent by Dr. Karthick and team | A short note on recent algal new species publication

Image
Original article title:  Description and phylogenetic position of three new species of Stauroneis Ehrenberg (Bacillariophyceae: Stauroneidaceae) from the Indian Subcontinent The article is written by Neha Wadmare, Abhishek Baghela, John Patrick Kociolek & Balasubramanian Karthick in European Journal of Phycology . (Source: European Journal of Phycology) In the introduction, the authors have given details on Diatom first and then about the genus Stauroneis Ehrenberg. They also described some morphological, taxonomic, and diversity data regarding Stauroneis species. In Materials and Methods, they have given detailed information regarding sample collection and also they analyzed physicochemical parameter of the habitat water. Also, they have given details regarding Microscopic observation, culture development methods, DNA isolation, amplification and purification methods, the last part of materials and methods covers the details regarding the phylogenetic analysis. In this stud

A New species Dasya sylviae C.W.Schneid., M.M.Cassidy & G.W.Saunders (Delesseriaceae, Ceramiales) from Bermuda in 2021 | Recent new species description

This short review article provides you information regarding the recent research article published in the European Journal of Taxonomy  (Volume: 751, Pages: 24–37).   A rticle published by Schneider and his team to describe the Dasya sylviae C.W.Schneid., M.M.Cassidy & G.W.Saunders in details.   Dasya sylviae C.W.Schneid., M.M.Cassidy & G.W.Saunders (source: European Journal of Taxonomy)             The alga is actually part of the material collected from the coast of Bermuda by the 2016 Nekton XL Catlin cruise of the R / V Baseline Explorer. The research team already published some new species and some other articles without describing the species, which is given in the introduction part.  In the introduction part, the authors have clearly mentioned the research background of the current article. Then they have discussed the genus Dasya distribution, characters, and some species characters also. They also mentioned the distribution of various Dasya sp. in the Bermuda reg

Dr Mary Winifred Parke (1908-1989) | British Phycologist | Prominent Algologists around the World

Image
     Dr Mary Winifred Parke was the guiding force of British Phycology from 1950-70, was born on  23 March 1908 at Liverpool (England). She came under the influence of Dr. Margery Knight and started studying marine algae from 1930 onwards. Both were extremely hard workers and wrote 'Manx Algae' in 1931. This was not just the flora of Port Erin but the account of distribution, life-history, ecology, and developmental biology, all these branches were in their infancy at that time in phycological research.        Her richest contribution "culture of flagellates of phycoplanktons' came because of Prof. Orton who was working on artificial rearing of oysters. He entrusted Mary with isolating and culturing the best suitable food source. Her efforts succeeded in isolating and developing six organisms one of which Isochrysis galbana later became the most important food source in mariculture.       Mary was appointed as Botanist at Plymouth Laboratory in 1947. She painstakingly
