  abstract = {{T}his study deals with two range-extending brown algae from {T}ahitian coral reefs, {S}argassum mangarevense and {T}urbinaria ornata; their alginate properties, mannitol and phenolic contents, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were determined. {T}urbinaria ornata showed the richest alginate content with the highest extraction yield (19.2 +/- 1.3% dw). {T}heir alginates also exhibited the highest viscosity (50 +/- 18 m{P}a. s), but the {M}: {G} ratios (mannuronic acid to glucuronic acid) of alginates (1.25-1.42) were similar in both species. {A}lginate yield displayed spatial variations, but no significant seasonal changes. {T}he highest mannitol content was found in {S}. mangarevense (12.2 +/- 2.1% dw) during the austral winter. {W}ith respect to other tropical {F}ucales, both algae exhibited also a high phenolic content (2.45-2.85% dw) with significant spatio-temporal variations. {F}urthermore, high antioxidant activity and activity against {S}taphylococcus aureus were also detected in extracts. {A}ccording to these preliminary results, these two range-extending algae are of key interest in numerous industrial areas.},
