Alginate denotes a group of industrially important 1-4-linked biopolymers composed of the C-5-epimers β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guluronic acid (G). The polysaccharide is manufactured from brown algae where it constitutes the main structural cell wall polymer. The physical properties...

Wee S, Gombotz WR.
PMID: 10837629
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 1998 May 04;31(3):267-285. doi: 10.1016/s0169-409x(97)00124-5.

There are a variety of both natural and synthetic polymeric systems that have been investigated for the controlled release of proteins. Many of the procedures employed to incorporate proteins into a polymeric matrix can be harsh and often cause...

Exopolysaccharides Produced by Phytopathogenic Pseudomonas syringae Pathovars in Infected Leaves of Susceptible Hosts.

Plant physiology

Fett WF, Dunn MF.
PMID: 16666545
Plant Physiol. 1989 Jan;89(1):5-9. doi: 10.1104/pp.89.1.5.

Bacterial exopolysaccharide (EPS) was extracted from infected leaves of several host plants inoculated with phytopathogenic strains of Pseudomonas syringae pathovars. Extraction was by a facilitated diffusion procedure or by collection of intercellular fluid using a centrifugation method. The extracted...

Strontium uptake in rats on alginate-supplemented diet.

Science (New York, N.Y.)

Harrison GE, Humphreys ER, Sutton A, Shepherd H.
PMID: 17779509
Science. 1966 Apr 29;152(3722):655-6. doi: 10.1126/science.152.3722.655.

Rats were fed a basic diet supplemented with sodium alginate and with tracer amounts of strontium-85 and calcium-45. Absorption of strontium was always inhibited by the alginate to a greater extent than absorption of calcium. Discrimination against strontium was...

Application of diffusion-edited NMR spectroscopy for selective suppression of water signal in the determination of monomer composition in alginates.

Magn Reson Chem. 2011 Sep;49(9):584-91. doi: 10.1002/mrc.2789. Epub 2011 Aug 04.

Alginate is a linear copolymer of 1-4 linked β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and 1-4 linked α-L-guluronic acid (G). The physical properties of these polysaccharides such as gel properties and viscosity are largely correlated to the monomer composition (M/G ratio), the...

Nano- and microstructural evolution of alginate beads in simulated gastrointestinal fluids. Impact of M/G ratio, molecular weight and pH.

Alginate microcapsules were prepared using three different alginate grades and incubated under simulated digestion conditions. Their micro- and nanostructural changes were studied using microscopy, laser diffraction and small angle X-ray scattering. Both the molecular weight and M/G ratio affected...

Identification of a Pivotal Residue for Determining the Block Structure-Forming Properties of Alginate C-5 Epimerases.

Alginate is a linear copolymer composed of 1→4 linked β-d-mannuronic acid (M) and its epimer α-l-guluronic acid (G). The polysaccharide is first produced as homopolymeric mannuronan and subsequently, at the polymer level, C-5 epimerases convert M residues to G...
