On possible role of Fucus vesiculosus in cleaning coastal waters from oil pollution

Biochemical and physiological characteristics for Fucus vesiculosus (Phaeophyta) capable to long life under conditions of constant oil pollution have been identified. The role of F. vesiculosus in purification of sea waters from petroleum products (PP) has been shown. Presumably, this type is able to accumulate and involve PP in metabolism. The dynamics of PP degradation by fucus has been traced. It has been found out that oil pollution of the marine environment leads to increase of total number of bacteria as well as saprotrophic and hydrocarbon-oxidizing ones in the fucus surface. Data on the taxonomic assignment of hydrocarbon bacteria dominant on the fucus surface has been obtained.

Macroalgae in the biological monitoring of marine coastal ecosystems

The structural and functional indicators of littoral phytocenosis of the Pechenga bay have been investigated. The bay was exposed to anthropogenic influence of household and port drains, including oil hydrocarbons for a long time. The research has shown efficiency of application of the multiple parameter' approach for drawing up an estimation of ecological conditions of the water area.
