Seasonal variations of the composition, structural features, and antitumor properties of polysaccharides from Padina pavonica (Lebanon) as a function of composition

The variation of the polysaccharide composition of the brown alga Padina pavonica from the Mediterranean Sea was studied as a function of the collection season (April–July). It was shown that the principal polysaccharide (8.0-13.3% of dry alga weight) was alginic acid. Its content did not undergo si...

Zusammenfassung:The variation of the polysaccharide composition of the brown alga Padina pavonica from the Mediterranean Sea was studied as a function of the collection season (April–July). It was shown that the principal polysaccharide (8.0-13.3% of dry alga weight) was alginic acid. Its content did not undergo significant changes from April to July. The content of water-soluble polysaccharides (laminarans and fucoidans) was low (
