Prolifera Enteromorpha, also known as moss strips and liverworts, is an algae of the Ulva family and the Enteromorpha genus. Enteromorpha is widely distributed in the coastal waters of various coastal countries. In China, it is mainly distributed in Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu and Fujian. Among them, the coastal areas of Fenghua, Zhejiang and Xiangshan Port, Zhejiang are the sea areas where Enteromorpha is naturally distributed in China. Enteromorpha can be converted into biomass oil, making Enteromorpha a raw material for producing new energy.
The algae of Enteromorpha Enteromorpha are bright green and composed of a single layer of cells, which are surrounded by tubes or adhered into ribbons. The cell arrangement is related to the species, with single nucleus and one to multiple starch nuclei. Chromatophores are flaky, 1. Single or branched, the plant height can reach 1 meter. The base is composed of rhizome filaments and forms a disc-shaped anchor.
The growth and reproduction of Enteromorpha are affected by factors such as water temperature, light intensity, and nutrient content. Enteromorpha micropropagules can survive under adverse conditions such as low light and low temperature. Due to the ebb and flow of tides, Enteromorpha species growing in the intertidal zone undergoes alternations between aquatic and aerial states.
Prolifera has a high pH value compensation point and a strong ability to utilize inorganic carbon, giving it more growth advantages. This is also the reason why Enteromorpha can grow on a large scale in narrow waters.
