Abstract In recent years, various applications for algae-based ß-1,3-glucans have been postulated, including animal feed and human nutrition. Chrysolaminarin is a ß-1,3–1,6-glucan produced by diatoms such as Phaeodactylum tricornutum energy storage. It accumulated under nutrient-depleted cultivation conditions. this study, the production of chrysolaminarin in artificially illuminated scalable f...

Background: The life-style-related diseases, like hypertension and obesity is a global tendency. To prevent these diseases, researchers’ attention is increasingly focusing on pharmacological properties of some natural plants such as Undaria pinnatifida (wakame), the most widely eaten brown seaweed. Phytochemical studies of this seaweed exhibited the existence of many biologically active compoun...
