    Description: Gracilaria gracilis farming was conducted in the Bizerte lagoon (North of Tunisia) at two depths (0.5 and 2.5 m) using various initial fragment weights (5, 20, and 40 g) in order to investigate the alga growth, agar yield, and quality. IR spectra of agar were performed in comparison to the commercial one. Moreover, the proximate biochemical composition of seaweeds was investigated. The results showed that the highest daily growth rate and agar yield were recorded at 0.5 m, using 5 g as initial fragment weight (5.98 ± 1.98% day−1, 14.87 ± 1.91% dw, respectively). Maximum gel strength was 356.67 ± 15.25 g cm−2 at 2.5 m using an initial weight of 20 g. Gelling and melting temperatures varied from 34.33 ± 0.57 to 35.50 ± 0.57 °C and from 77.00 ± 1.00 to 85.00 ± 0.50 °C, respectively. IR analysis revealed that some spectra were similar, while others were different. The highest dry matter (22.68 ± 1.77%) and ash content (35.25 ± 0.02% of dw) were recorded at 2.5 m, using initial weights of 20 and 5 g, respectively. The maximum carbohydrate and the crude protein contentswere obtained at 0.5m, using 5 g as initialweight (9.52 ± 0.36 and 5.83 ± 0.7% dw, respectively). The highest R-phycoerythrin content was recorded at 0.5m(0.050 ± 0.007 mg g−1 dw), while the maximum of total lipid content was recorded at 2.5 m with initial weight of 5 g (3.58 ± 0.63% dw). Our findings indicated that growth and biochemical composition of G. gracilis depend on the depth and initial fragment weights.

    Notes: The treatment of the non-linear isotherm in chromatography by one of the authors [1] is extended to other cases of practical interest. The original paper dealt with the case of an initially thin zone resulting in a Poisson distribution the asymmetry of which is a function of the plate number and the non-linearity constant. The present work shows that the same relations apply to initially thick zones and to the cases of washing and deposition leading to simple relations for breakthrough curves. For significantly non-linear isotherms other quasi-Gaussian distributions can give a better fit.

    Description: In Tunisia, seaweed eco-biological and valorization studies are relatively recent. In this context, the red seaweed Gracilaria bursa-pastoris has been studied during a year at three different locations in the Bizerte Lagoon (North of Tunisia): Menzel Jemil (MJ), Menzel Abderrahmane (MA) and Menzel Bourguiba (MB). Environmental parameters such as temperature, salinity and nutrients were measured. The weight, length, number of ramifications at 0.5 cm from the apices in gametophyte and terasporophyte thalli and biomass were investigated. Besides, the seasonal variation of the agar yield and quality was studied. Results showed seasonal and temporal fluctuations of all parameters studied. Thus, the maximum of temperature (32.2 °C) was measured in August at MB. The salinity ranged from 33 psu in April at MA to 41.2 psu at MB in November. The pH varied from 8 to 8.8. The dissolved oxygen reached 11.2 mg L-1 at MJ in October. The nitrogen and the phosphorus elements varied also during the study period according to the season and the sampling site. The maximum weight of Gracilaria bursa pastoris occurred in summer (134.58g) in the tetrasporophyte thalli at MJ. The highest length was recorded in January (30.5 cm) in tetrasporophytes at MB. The maximum ramification number occurred in April (54) in mature females (cystocarpic thalli) at MA. The highest biomass was obtained in summer (56.23 g m-2 dry weight) at MJ. The maximum agar yield (27.48 %) was obtained in spring at MJ. The highest gel strength, gelling and melting temperatures were also recorded in spring (148.33 g cm-2, 40.16 °C and 83 °C, respectively). All of the results indicated that Gracilaria bursa-pastoris may be considered as a potential resource for agar industry in Tunisia. This hydrocolloid (agar) may be used in different fields, namely in food and cosmetic industries.
    Description: Les études éco-biologiques des algues et leur valorisation sont relativement récentes en Tunisie. Dans ce contexte, une étude sur la rhodophycée Gracilaria bursa-pastoris a été entreprise dans la lagune de Bizerte durant une année dans trois localités différentes: Menzel Jemil (MJ), Menzel Abderrahmane (MA) et Menzel Bourguiba (MB). Différents facteurs hydrologiques tels que la température, la salinité, l’oxygène dissous, le pH et les sels nutritifs ont été étudiés. Par ailleurs, la biomasse, le poids individuel des thalles gamétophytiques et tétrasporophytiques, la longueur et le nombre de ramifications à 0.5 cm des apex ont été suivis. En outre, la variation saisonnière du rendement et de la qualité de l’agar-agar ont été investiguées. Les résultats ont montré une variation spatio-temporelle de tous les paramètres étudiés. Ainsi, la température maximale (32,2 °C) a été enregistrée au mois d’août à MB. La salinité a varié entre 33 psu en avril à MA et 41,2 psu en novembre à MB. Le pH a varié entre 8 et 8,8. L’oxygène dissous a atteint 11,2 mg L-1 à MJ en Octobre. Les éléments azotés et phosphorés ont fluctué selon la saison et le site d’échantillonnage. Le maximum de poids individuel (134,58 g) a été enregistré en juillet chez les tétrasporophytes à MJ. La longueur maximale (30,5 cm) a été aussi atteinte chez les tétrasporophytes à MB en janvier. Le nombre maximum de ramifications (54) a été enregistré en avril à MA chez les thalles femelles mâtures à cystocarpes. La biomasse maximale (56,23 g m-2, en poids sec) a été obtenue en été à MA. Concernant l’agar, le rendement le plus élevé (27,48 %) a été enregistré au printemps à MJ. La force de gel, le point de gélification et le point de fusion maximum ont également été obtenus au printemps, soit respectivement de 148,33 g cm-2, 40,16 °C et 83 °C. Tous les résultats obtenus indiquent que Gracilaria bursa-pastoris pourrait être source potentielle pour une industrie tunisienne d’agar-agar. Ce dernier pourrait être utilisé dans différents domaines tels que les industries agro-alimentaires et en cosmétique.
