| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to assess the impact of two distinct phytohormones, brassinolide
and ethylene, on the growth and preservation of Caulerpa lentillifera, a species of seaweed
collected from the coastal waters of Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa. Seaweed was analyzed to determine
its ash, protein, lipid, and carbohydrate content. Furthermore, the biological activity values
determined were those of total phenolic content, total flavonoid content (TFC), and antibacterial
activity. The results of the analysis indicated that brassinolide had a positive effect on the values
of the sea grapes during the preservation period, in contrast to the influence of ethephon and the
duration of treatment. In the growth experiment of Caulerpa lentillifera, a decline in the values of
chlorophyll a, carotenoids, carbohydrates, total phenolic content (TPC), and TFC was observed
over time with the use of both phytohormones. However, brassinolide yielded positive results by
enhancing the ash content, lipid levels, and antibacterial capacity of the sea grapes over time. | en_US |
