DOI: 10.1021/acschembio.0c00299
Abstract: Marine macroalgae, seaweeds, are exceptionally prolific producers of halogenated natural products. Biosynthesis of halogenated molecules in seaweeds is inextricably linked to reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling as hydrogen peroxide serves as a substrate for haloperoxidase… read more here.

DOI: 10.3168/jds.2025-26915
Abstract: Enteric methane (CH4) emission from ruminant livestock results in a loss of digestible feed energy, which has significant implications for animal production and contributes to global warming. Digestible feed energy losses and GHG emissions are… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/foods10030584
Abstract: Enteric methane (CH4) is the main source of greenhouse gas emissions from ruminants. The red seaweeds Asparagopsis taxiformis (AT) and Asparagopsis armata contain halogenated compounds, including bromoform (CHBr3), which may strongly decrease enteric CH4 emissions.… read more here.
