Correction: First evidence of biogenic habitat from tubeworms providing a near-absolute habitat requirement for high-intertidal Ulva macroalgae
Associations of grazer assemblages with worm-tubes vary according to random sites. nMDS plots of (a) densities, and (b) numbers per boulder, of mobile assemblages (grazers) on boulders with serpulimorph tubes (triangle) and without (circle).Results from PERMANOVA pairwise tests are shown under the plots; n = 10. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0192579.g001 There is an error in the caption for Fig 6.

Seaweed chronicles : a world at the water's edge
\"An ancient and vital part of the ecosystem, seaweed is now emerging as an increasingly important source of food in a world faced with diminishing natural resources. [This book] opens a window into the world of this ... plant by providing a look at life on the rugged shore of the Gulf of Maine, focusing not only on the plant life underwater, but also on the men and women who farm and harvest seaweed, and on the increasingly difficult task of protecting this critical natural resource against forces both natural and man-made\"-- Provided by publisher.

Current Bottlenecks and Challenges of the Microalgal Biorefinery
Microalgae are increasingly considered as sources of renewable feedstocks for industrial production, and microalgae production now focuses on the multiproduct microalgal biorefinery. However, such a biorefinery presents several bottlenecks that are mainly associated with downstream processes. This reduced downstream efficiency results from unsolved problems related to the culture strategy for the accumulation of different products – the protein versus lipid dilemma – and the dilute nature of the microalgal culture. We identify new trends and propose promising solutions for realizing microalgal biorefineries at industrial scale. New perspectives and challenges are identified in protein properties and in the integration and cooptimization of culture and downstream processes.
The exploitation of a single microalgal product is unprofitable and generates undesirable waste, inspiring the biorefinery approach to microalgae production.
Several thin culture systems are currently being proposed for intensifying the conversion of light into biomass.
Downstream processing, and in particular the fractionation of microalgal components, remains the most expensive step limiting the practical implementation of microalgal biorefineries.

Microalgal Carotenoids: A Review of Production, Current Markets, Regulations, and Future Direction
Microalgae produce a variety of compounds that are beneficial to human and animal health. Among these compounds are carotenoids, which are microalgal pigments with unique antioxidant and coloring properties. The objective of this review is to evaluate the potential of using microalgae as a commercial feedstock for carotenoid production. While microalgae can produce some of the highest concentrations of carotenoids (especially astaxanthin) in living organisms, there are challenges associated with the mass production of microalgae and downstream processing of carotenoids. This review discusses the synthesis of carotenoids within microalgae, their physiological role, large-scale cultivation of microalgae, up- and down-stream processing, commercial applications, natural versus synthetic carotenoids, and opportunities and challenges facing the carotenoid markets. We emphasize legal aspects and regulatory challenges associated with the commercial production of microalgae-based carotenoids for food/feed, nutraceutical and cosmetic industry in Europe, the USA, the People’s Republic of China, and Japan. This review provides tools and a broad overview of the regulatory processes of carotenoid production from microalgae and other novel feedstocks.
