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...

The extract obtained from cystocarps of Gymnogongrus torulosus at 90°C showed prevalence of iota-carrageenans (ratio kappa:iota 1:1.21). These extracts are similar to the polysaccharides produced by gametophytes of these seaweeds. For Gigartina skottsbergii, it was possible to separate the pericarpic tissue from the carposporophyte.

These results clearly show that whereas the carposporophytes are located inside the cystocarp, they produce carrageenans of the kappa family despite of being diploid cells. Fil:Estevez, J.M.
