TLDR
The polysaccharides of green, red and brown seaweeds: their basic structure, biosynthesis and function were discussed in this paper, where they were shown to have a similar behavior to those of green and red seaweeds.Abstract:

Functions for fish mucus
TL;DR: This work has shown that mucus-based defences, including filter feeding, adhesion and abhesion, can be modelled on the basis of the state of mucus on fish surfaces and experimental approaches.

Salinity Tolerance of Eukaryotic Marine Algae
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the regulation and adaptation of Turgor Pressure Regulation and Osmotic Adaptation in marine algae and discusses the role of Photosynthesis and Respiration in this regulation.

4 – Algal Polysaccharides
TL;DR: This chapter reviews algal polysaccharides and there is growing evidence that many algal glycans exist in the native state, at least partly, as proteoglycans and that accepted procedures for isolation usually entail some degradation of these more complex macromolecules, with the liberation of the glycan moiety.

TL;DR: This review about the genus Laminaria sensu lato summarizes the extensive literature that has been published since the overview of the genus given by Kain in 1979, and covers recent insights into phylogeny and taxonomy, and discusses morphotypes, ecotypes, population genetics and demography.

Uronic acid sequence in alginate from different sources
TL;DR: Alginate may be considered as a block co-polymer of D -mannuronic and L -guluronic acids, and consists of three types of blocks: homopolymeric blocks of mannuronic acid and of guluronic Acid, and blocks with an alternating sequence (MG).

Carrageenans in the gametophytic and sporophytic stages of Chondrus crispus.
TL;DR: The authors' observations suggest that the biologically separate plants of C. crispus exhibit distinctive patterns of sulfation of their galactans, and this appears to represent a third carrageenan in the gametophytes.

Non-Cellulosic Structural Polysaccharides in Algal Cell Walls. I. Xylan in Siphoneous Green Algae
Eva Frei,Reginald Dawson Preston +1 more
TL;DR: The cell walls of a number of marine algae, namely species of Bryopsis, Caulerpa, Udotea, Halimeda and Penicillus and of one freshwater alga, Dichotomosiphon, are examined using both chemical and physical techniques and it is shown that cellulose is completely absent and that the walls contain β-l,3-linked xylan as the structural polysaccharide.
