The utilization of inorganic carbon by the red macroalgae, Gracilaria edulis (G. edulis) was investigated in this study. G. edulis were grown in brackish water aerated with varying concentration of carbon dioxide-350 ppm (actual atmospheric carbon dioxide, CO2), 700 ppm and 1400 ppm CO2 gas. Higher...
