Galactans are important components of many plant cell walls. Besides, they are the major
polysaccharides in extracellular matrixes from different seaweeds, and other marine …

Some sulfated polysaccharides from red seaweeds are used as hydrocolloids. In addition, it
is well known that there are sulfated galactans (carrageenans and agarans) and sulfated …

Red algae (Rhodophyta) are known as the source of unique sulfated galactans, such as
agar, agarose, and carrageenans. The wide practical uses of these polysaccharides are …

The brown seaweed Sargassum stenophyllum biosynthesizes two different sets of
fucoidans. One of them is characterized by higher percentages of glucuronic acid and fewer …

The antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 of κ/ι-, partially cyclized μ/ν-,
and λ-carrageenans isolated from the red seaweed Gigartina skottsbergii and their cyclized …

Carrageenans are sulfated galactans found in certain red seaweeds with proven biological
activities. In this work, we have prepared purified native and degraded κ-, ι-; and λ …

The taxonomic significance of the polysaccharide structures of algal cell walls has been
underscored several times over the past few decades but has never been pursued …

Chemical and spectroscopic methods showed that the major KCl-precipitated galactans
from Meristiella gelidium (Solieriaceae) are iota/kappa/nu-hybrid carrageenans with the …

The coil-to-helix transition and temperature dependence of the viscosity of commercial κ/ι-
hybrid carrageenans produced by the red algae Sarcothalia crispata, Mazaella …

Extracts of two Chilean carrageenophyte red seaweeds, Sarcothalia crispata and Gigartina
skottsbergii, were prepared by each of two industrial processes: a mild alkaline extraction …
