Carrageenan is a polysaccharide derived from red algae (seaweed) with enormous
economic potential in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food …

Studies on brown algal cell walls have entered a new phase with the concomitant discovery
of novel polysaccharides present in cell walls and the establishment of a comprehensive …

The process by which plant cells expand and gain shape has presented a challenge for
researchers. Current models propose that these processes are driven by turgor pressure …

Porphyra umbilicalis (laver) belongs to an ancient group of red algae (Bangiophyceae), is
harvested for human food, and thrives in the harsh conditions of the upper intertidal zone …

Agar, a gelatinous polysaccharide which is in the cell wall of many red algae, is widely used
as food and gelling agent. Agar oligosaccharides (AOs), the hydrolysate of agar, show much …

Rhodophyta (or red algae) are a diverse and species‐rich group that forms one of three
major lineages in the Archaeplastida, a eukaryotic supergroup whose plastids arose from a …

Agar is a jelly-like biopolymer synthesized by many red seaweeds as their major cell wall
component. Due to its excellent rheological properties, it has been exploited commercially …

Macroalgae species are fast growing and their polysaccharides are already used as food
ingredient due to their properties as hydrocolloids or they have potential high value …

Cell wall polysaccharides (CWPS) of seaweeds play crucial roles in mechanical shear
resistance, cell-cell adhesion and the interactions with changeable marine environments …

Sulfatases cleave sulfate groups from various molecules and constitute a biologically and
industrially important group of enzymes. However, the number of sulfatases whose substrate …
