Chlorinated C12 fatty acid metabolites from the red alga Gracilaria verrucosa.
Three compounds containing moieties rarely encountered in nature, viz., 3-nonyloxirane-2 carboxylic acid methyl ester (1), 2-chlorododec-2-en-1-ol (2), and 2-chlorododec-2,11-dien-1-ol (3), were isolated from the red alga Gracilaria verrucosa, and their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods.
متن کاملBioethanol production from Gracilaria verrucosa, a red alga, in a biorefinery approach.
In this study, Gracilaria verrucosa, red seaweed has been used for production of agar and bioethanol. The algae harvested at various time durations resulted in extraction of ~27-33% agar. The leftover pulp was found to contain ~62-68% holocellulose, which on enzymatic hydrolysis yielded 0.87 g sugars/g cellulose. The enzymatic hydrolysate on fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae produced e...
متن کاملMycosporine-like amino acids in the marine red alga Gracilaria cornea — effects of UV and heat
Ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) were separated from a marine red alga Gracilaria cornea using HPLC. The isolated MAAs were identified as porphyra-334 and/or shinorine by comparing them with various standards. No in vivo induction of MAAs was detected in G. cornea even when the organism was grown for 4–5 days either in the presence of UV-A and UV-B only or in combi...
متن کاملLipid Classes, Fatty Acid Composition, and Glycerolipid Molecular Species of the Red Alga Gracilaria vermiculophylla, a Prostaglandin-Producing Seaweed.
The red alga Gracilaria vermiculophylla is a well-known producer of prostaglandins, such as PGE2 and PGF2α. In this study, the characteristics of glycerolipids as substrates of prostaglandin production were clarified, and the lipid classes, fatty acid composition, and glycerolipid molecular species were investigated in detail. The major lipid classes were monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), di...
متن کاملBIOETHANOL PRODUCTION FROM CELLULOSE IN RED ALGAE Gracilaria verrucosa BY SEPARATED HYDROLYSIS AND FERMENTATION SYSTEM USING Trichoderma viride AND Zymomonas mobilis
In this study, renewable marine cellulose from red algae Gracilaria verrucosa was utilized for the production of bioethanol. Bioethanol from the red alga cellulose was produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation methods and the conversion value of the cellulose in Gracilaria verrucosa was estimated. Trichoderma viride fungus and Zymomonas mobilis bacterium were used for enzymatic hydr...
