| Description: |
Belonging to the Gracilariaceae family, Gracilaria Multipartita is a species of marine red algae characterized by its branched and fleshy structure, with stems ranging from reddish to brownish tones, adapted to different light and salinity conditions. Common in tropical and subtropical coastal regions, this algae can be found in shallow, nutrient-rich water areas. In addition to its industrial importance in the production of agar, a gelatinous substance widely used in laboratories and the food industry, it plays a supporting role in maintaining the biodiversity and stability of coastal habitats by providing shelter and food to various marine species. |
