The study on antioxidant activity of ulvan-calcium derivative [PDF]
Journal of Medicinal Plants Research, 2021 Ulvan is a water-soluble polysaccharide that is extracted from the algae Ulva pertusa (Chlorophyta). In this study, ulvan-calcium derivative (U-calcium) was prepared and calcium content was 5.2%. Ulvan-calcium could effectively scavenge on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethyl-benzothiazolie-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), hydroxyl ...

Characterization of an Alteromonas long-type ulvan lyase involved in the degradation of ulvan extracted from Ulva ohnoi [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2017 Abstract Ulvan is a sulfated polysaccharide found in the cell wall of the green algae Ulva. We first isolated several ulvan-utilizing Alteromonas sp. from the feces of small marine animals. The strain with the highest ulvan-degrading activity, KUL17, was analyzed further.

A novel ulvan lyase family with broad-spectrum activity from the ulvan utilisation loci of Formosa agariphila KMM 3901 [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractUlvan, which is one of the major structural polysaccharides of the cell walls of green macroalgae, is degraded by ulvan lyases via the β-elimination mechanism with the release of oligosaccharides that have unsaturated 4-deoxy-L-threo-hex-4-enopyranosiduronic acid (∆) at the non-reducing end. These ulvan lyases belong to the PL24 or PL25 or PL28
