| Application: | Laminarin from Laminaria digitata has been used: • as a stimulant to study its effect on the respiratory burst using haemocytes of P. vannamei • as a carbon source to study its effect on enzyme production using Pichia membranifaciens culture • as a carbon source for Polaribacter sp. culture |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Laminarin is a biologically active compound effective against inflammation. It serves as an antioxidant and anticoagulant. Laminarin also inhibits apoptosis and tumor development. It acts as a predominant source of carbon among aquatic prokaryotes. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Laminarin is a polysaccharide of glucose found in brown algae and utilized as a food reserve. |
| General description: | Substrate for laminarinase. |
| General description: | The fronds of Laminaria and Saccharina species contain laminarin, a low molecular weight storage glucan. It is localized to the vacuoles. Laminarin structure contains β-(1,6)-intrachain linked (1,3)-β-d-glucan. |
| Other Notes: | Polysaccharide; primarily poly(β-Glc-[1→3]) with some β-(1→6) interstrand linkages and branch points. |
