Tf. Soloveva et al., POLYSACCHARIDES FROM THE RUSSIA PACIFIC COAST ALGAE AND THEIR ENZYMATIC TRANSFORMATION, Marine Technology Society journal, 30(1), 1996, pp. 35-39
The characteristics of carrageenans and agars of red seaweeds from the
Russian Pacific coast were investigated. The occurrence of laminarans
in brown algae of the Okhotsk Sea and Sea of Japan was determined and
their structures were studied. The enzymatic transformations of kappa
- and lambda-carrageenans and laminarans were performed and as a resul
t some new biological active polysaccharides were obtained.
