• Starch metabolism in green algae (2014, background): “Initially it was reported that floridean starch from red alga lacks amylose, but some Rhodophyta lineages accumulate this polysaccharide [18, 19].”
• Starch biosynthesis in developing seeds (2010, background): “However, certain cyanobacteria synthesize a polyglucan, termed semi-amylopectin, which is intermediate between amylopectin and glycogen in terms of the a-(1 ! 4)chain-length distribution (Nakamura et al., 2005).”
