Does macroalgae consume sulfuric acids

[Esquire805]

Just wondering which types does or do all of them do so. I'm thinking seaweed might but not sure

OK, I'll bite.

I've never heard of this, but I'm willing to learn. Where did you read or hear of algae that consumes sulfuric acid?

Maybe talking about acid rain...sulfur being one of the reasons for rain being acidic.

Not sure what you are saying or asking here.

In the Marine enviroment, macro algae & seaweed are the same thing. For certain, macroalgae will consume sulfur. Sulfuric acid will lower pH and contribute to sulfur concentration in the water. In general, macro algae combines carbon: nitrogen: phosphorus in the ratio of 560:30:1

When I grew Red Ogo, Gracilaria Parvispora, for human consumption I had it analyzed for dry analysis. Sulfur concentration is > 800% the calcium concentration.

I surmise that sulfur is necessary for macroalgae to grow.

I'm asking if it does but I did read that seaweed has some to ward off certain creatures

In any case does it consume it from the water

I see just wondering just in case I does something I want to see if it doesn't stay in the water column

Normal content of sulpher in the sea water is around 900 mg/l. Mostly as the sulphate ion - SO4-2 as I know

Hmm good to know that's I will be conducting some experiments

came across this thread and then i curiously stumbled across these reports about a big Ulva bloom in brittany back in 2009. ;Nailbiting
