What is Carbohydrates of the brown seaweeds himanthalia lorea, bifurcaria bifurcata, and Padina pavonia about?
Ma&to1 constitutes the major carbohydrate of low molecular weight in the brown seaweeds named in the title; glucose is also present in Himantlzalia, and glucose and nzyo-inositol were detected in Biftrrcaria. Laminarin, alginic acid, "fucans", and cellulose were separated and characterised from each of the species investigated. The " &cans ", which were present in five sequential extracts obtained with different extractants, comprised variable proportions of fucose, xylose, glucuronic acid, galactose (traces), and half-ester sulphate. Fractionation on DE-cellulose led to the isolation of highly sulphated materials having a high content of fucose, polymers having a high content of glucuronic acid and a low content of sulphate, and polysaccharides with proportions of sugars and sulphate between these two extremes. It is concluded that all three seaweeds synthesise a wide spectrum of these polysaccharides.
