Two new Schiffnerula Hohn soecies from India
Abstract :
The red algae Gelidium micropterum, Gelidiella acerosa, Gracilaria fergusonii and Gracilaria millardetii were collected from south east coast of Tamil Nadu, India, during summer and winter. Phycocolloids were extracted and their yield and physico-chemical properties were determined. The gel strength of agar was dependent on high 3,6 anhydro galactose content and inversely related to the sulphate. Seasonal variations were compared.
Keywords:
3,6 anhydrogalactose, gel strength, phycocolloids, sulphate, viscosity, yield
