Isolation of an Algal Growth-enhancer Polysaccharide from the Chlorophyta Monostroma nitidum

摘要

A microalgal growth-enhancing polysaccharide compound was isolated from the green alga Monostroma nitidum using water extraction, molecular fractionation, a DEAE-cellulose column, and fast protein liquid chromatography using a Superose-12 column. Theyield of the compound from the seaweed powder was 8.3 CHI 10~(-3). At 2 mg/mL concentration, the polysaccharide enhanced Tetraselmis suecica cell growth in f/2 medium by approximately 160.
