Cell wall neutral sugar composition of chlorococcalean algae forming and not forming acetolysis resistant biopolymer

A Parachlorella kessleri (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta) strain from an extremely acidic geothermal pond in Argentina

“…Scale bar 5 100 nm. (Burczyk et al 1995;Takeda 1996). Negative secondary fluorescence with primuline suggested the absence of algaenan in BAFC CA10.…”

Optimizing Extraction Process and Characterization of Antioxidant Ingredients from Chlorella Sorokiniana

“…Glc and Rib can be linked to the presence of starches and nucleotides in Chlorella biomass [5,13]. Generally, Gal and Rha are the major monosaccharides in cell wall compositions of C. sorokiniana and C. pyrenoidosa [33]. And, Man and Gal are found dominant in the immunomodulatory polysaccharides or glycoproteins from C. pyrenoidosa [7,14,34] and C. vulgaris [4,5].…”

Invited Review - Fight on Plankton! or, Phytoplankton Shape and Size as Adaptive Tools to Get Ahead in the Struggle for Life

“…The pattern of decreasing assimilation efficiency with increasing algal size is striking. Different strains of Scenedesmaceae all have cell walls that contain comparable proportions of the dominant neutral sugars rhamnose, mannose, galactose and glucose, and all contain acetolysis-resistant biopolymers (Burczyk et al 1995). However, smaller algae have a relatively larger surface area per volume exposed to digestive enzymes, which may be an explanation for the higher assimilation efficiencies observed for smaller algae.…”
