With today's interest in novel renewable chemicals and polymers, the underexploited marine green algae belonging to species of Ulva and Entermorpha stimulated interest as sources of polysaccharides with innovative structure and functional properties. These algae are common on all seashores and can produce in time an important amount of biomass in nutrient-enriched waters. The major water-soluble polysaccharide, ulvan, extracted from the cell wall represents about 8-29% of the algae dry weight. The original physicochemical, rheological, and biological properties recently unraveled for this complex sulfated aldobiouronan open the way for novel potential applications.
鉴于当今对新型可再生化学品和聚合物的关注，属于石莼属和浒苔属的未得到充分开发利用的海洋绿藻，作为具有创新结构和功能特性的多糖来源引发了人们的兴趣。这些藻类在所有海岸都很常见，并且在营养丰富的水域中能及时产生大量生物质。从细胞壁中提取的主要水溶性多糖——石莼多糖，约占藻类干重的8%-29%。最近揭示的这种复杂硫酸化醛二糖醛酸聚糖的原始物理化学、流变学和生物学特性，为新的潜在应用开辟了道路。
