Macroalgae in biofuel production (2015, background): “Ulvan is a watersoluble sulfated polysaccharide found in Ulva (8−29% of d.w.) (Lahaye & Robic 2007).”
Bioactive compounds in seaweed: functional food applications and legislation (2011, background): “Recent studies have demonstrated that ulvans and their oligosaccharides were able to modify the adhesion and proliferation of normal and tumoural human colonic cells as well as the expression of transforming growth factors and surface glycosyl markers related to cellular differentiation (Lahaye and ”
Evolution and diversity of plant cell walls: from algae to flowering plants. (2011, background): “Similarly, cell-wall differentiation exists in macroalgae (24, 57), with differences in polysaccharide components depending on the species (42, 46, 63, 73), part of the alga (64), developmental and life-cycle stage (60), and season and habitat (57).”
The Enzymatic Conversion of Major Algal and Cyanobacterial Carbohydrates to Bioethanol (2016, background): “The dry weight percentage of Ulvan varies between 8 and 29% (Lahaye and Robic, 2007; Robic et al., 2008).”
Chemical Structures and Bioactivities of Sulfated Polysaccharides from Marine Algae (2011, background): “As reviewed by Lahaye and Robic, ulvan structure shows great complexity and variability as evidenced by the numerous oligosaccharide repeating structural units identified in native and chemically modified ulvan preparations [3].”
An Ulva armoricana extract protects plants against three powdery mildew pathogens (2011, background): “Ulvans are complex sulphated heteropolysaccharides mainly composed of rhamnose, xylose and uronic acids (Jaulneau et al. 2010; Lahaye and Robic 2007; Robic et al. 2009a, b).”
Macroalgal biorefinery concepts for the circular bioeconomy: A review on biotechnological developments and future perspectives (2021, background): “However, these skeletal polysaccharides form double fibrillar layers (inner and outer layers), with an amorphous matrix in between mainly comprising of sulphated polysaccharides such as ulvan and glucuronan layers [83].”
Activity of seaweed extracts and polysaccharide-enriched extracts from Ulva lactuca and Padina gymnospora as growth promoters of tomato and mung bean plants (2016, background): “Alginates are the major components of brown seaweed cell walls (Vera et al. 2011); in contrast, ulvan is the most important constituent of green seaweed cell walls, representing 8 to 29 % of the algal dry weight (Lahaye and Robic 2007).”
Algal polysaccharides as source of plant resistance inducers (2014, background): “However, the polysaccharide composition can be more complex and is influenced by taxonomical and/or ecophysiological variations (Lahaye & Robic, 2007).”
