BOOK
Chemistry and Enzymology of Marine Algal Polysaccharides
This book is a scientific monograph focused on the structure, chemistry, and enzymatic behavior of polysaccharides found in marine algae (seaweeds). It provides a detailed examination of:
The types and distribution of polysaccharides in different groups of algae
Structural components such as alginate, carrageenan, agar, and fucoidan
Methods of extraction, isolation, and chemical analysis
The role of enzymes in polysaccharide degradation and transformation
Relationships between chemical structure and biological function
The work also discusses cell wall composition, carbohydrate polymers, and biochemical pathways, making it a foundational reference in marine biochemistry and phycology.
