Fucanomics and Galactanomics: Marine Distribution, Medicinal Impact, Conceptions, and Challenges

Marine Drugs, 2012
Glycomics turned out to be a very extensive project where its subdivision is consequently emerging. This is seen by the growing number of terminologies used to define subprojects concerning particular classes of bioactive carbohydrates.

Revisiting the life cycle of Margalefidinium polykrikoides Group III

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 1367-1382, August 2026.
Abstract Dinoflagellates produce cysts as a strategy to withstand environmental stressors, with nutrient depletion generally considered a key trigger for cyst production. Resting cysts are thick‐walled, typically composed of one to several layers, and characterized by a prolonged dormancy period.

Fucan effect on CHO cell proliferation and migration

, 2013
Fucan is a term used to denominate sulfated L-fucose rich polysaccharides. Here, a heterofucan, named fucan B, was extracted from the Spatoglossum schroederi seaweed.

Fucoidan: An Update on Function, Role in Human Health and Applications

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Fucoidan is a promising bioactive compound with anti‐inflammatory, anticoagulant, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, and cardioprotective properties. In addition, thanks to its epigenetic potential, ability to modulate autophagic mechanisms and possibility adjuvant agent or bioactive component of the drug delivery systems, fucoidan is a promising ...

Isolation and Culture of a Marine Bacterium Degrading the Sulfated Fucans from Marine Brown Algae [PDF]

Marine Biotechnology, 2006
Fucoidans are matrix polysaccharides from marine brown algae, consisting of an alpha-L-fucose backbone substituted by sulfate-ester groups and masked with ramifications containing other monosaccharide residues. In spite of their interest as biologically active compounds in a number of homologous and heterologous systems, no convenient sources with ...

Comparative Study of Sulfated Polysaccharides From Ulva Lactuca Grown in Tunisia and Morocco: in Vitro Antioxidant Activity and in Vivo Anti‐Inflammatory and Anti‐Ulcer Effects

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of sulfated polysaccharides extracted from Ulva lactuca collected in Tunisia (PSUT) and Morocco (PSUM). FTIR confirmed the presence of sulfate groups, while GC‐MS identified diverse sugar components. Both polysaccharides showed strong antioxidant activity, with DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates ...
