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. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract 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.

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. [PDF]
Chem BiodiversABSTRACT 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 ...

Sulfated fucan as support for antibiotic immobilization [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004 Xylofucoglucuronan from Spatoglossum schröederi algae was tested as a support for antibiotic immobilization. The polysaccharide (20 mg in 6 ml) was first activated using carbodiimide, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylamino-propyl)carbodiimide methiodide (20 mg in 2 ml), under stirring for 1 h at 25 masculine C and pH from 4.5 to 5.0. After adjusting the pH to 8.0,

Presence of Exogenous Sulfate Is Mandatory for Tip Growth in the Brown Alga Ectocarpus subulatus
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are multicellular photoautrophic organisms and the largest biomass producers in coastal regions. A variety of observations indicate that their extracellular matrix (ECM) is involved with screening of salts, development, cell ...

Is there a correlation between structure and anticoagulant action of sulfated galactans and sulfated fucans? [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2002 We attempted to identify the specific structural features in sulfated galactans and sulfated fucans that confer anticoagulant activity. For this study we employed a variety of invertebrate polysaccharides with simple structures composed of well-defined units of oligosaccharides.

Structure, biology, evolution, and medical importance of sulfated fucans and galactans [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2008 Sulfated fucans and galactans are strongly anionic polysaccharides found in marine organisms. Their structures vary among species, but their major features are conserved among phyla. Sulfated fucans are found in marine brown algae and echinoderms, whereas sulfated galactans occur in red and green algae, marine angiosperms, tunicates (ascidians), and ...
