Carrageenans biosynthesized by carposporophytes of red seaweeds Gigartina skottsbergii (Gigartinaceae) and Gymnogongrus torulosus (Phyllophoraceae)
Carrageenans biosynthesized by gametophytic and tetrasporic plants of seaweeds belonging to the Gigartinaceae and Phyllophoraceae are different: gametophytes produce carrageenans of the kappa family, whereas lambda-carrageenans are extracted from tetrasporophytes. For Gigartina skottsbergii Setchell...
