DOI: 10.1007/s00227-018-3348-5
Abstract: Carbonic anhydrase (CA) plays an important physiological role in all biological systems by accelerating the interconversion of CO2 and HCO3−. In algae, CA is essential for photosynthesis: external CA (CAext) dehydrates HCO3−, enhancing the supply… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.03.039
Abstract: A fuciodan (Mw = 11.1 kDa) was obtained and purified from Macrocystis pyrifera (MPF). MPF was an acid heteropolysaccharide including fucose, mannose, xylose, galactose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, and glucose in a molar ratio of 3.1:1.0:0.86:0.63:0.25:0.33:0.11. Sulfate content in… read more here.
