[6][7] Previous study have shown that the Mediterranean Sea ecotype - Valonia utricularis can extend its biogeographic distribution to warm temperate regions.

This is attributed to the seaweed's chloroplast to function as a thermal acclimation organelle in response to exposure of varying temperature levels.

It is achieved by controlling the number of pigments thereby decreasing light attainment while increasing the capacity for zeaxanthin-induced energy dissipation.

[10] Valonia ventricosa which compose similar natural products is often studied for the crystalline-structure of its cellulose to promote applications on accurate physical measurements.

[12] Production of levulinic acid from Valonia aegagropila and another Cladophorales, Chaetomorpha linum, were also explored and developed in recent years.

[10] Furthermore, unsaturated fatty acids where shown to be high of concentration in Valonia aegagropila, together with other macroalgae (Agarophyton tenuistipitatum, and brown seaweeds (Pheaophyta).

[14] Unsaturated fatty acids are healthy fats that can be utilized for medicinal applications, e.g. improving cholesterol levels, reduce inflammations, and stabilize heart rhythms among others.
