Research lists as fucoidan sources a number of common marine algae familiar to the Japanese diet, including kombu, wakame, hijiki, mozuku, [2] and gagome (Kjellmaniella), [23] [24] and other algae such as wracks (Fucus distichus ssp. evanescens) [24] and marine animals, including abalone, scallops, sea urchin, and sea cucumber.
It is a very efficient inducer of hematopoietic stem cell mobilization in animal and human studies. In a small human clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fucoidan ingestion (brown seaweed extract), 3g daily of 75% w/w oral fucoidan for 12 days increased the proportion of CD34+CXCR4+ from 45 to 90% and the serum SDF-1 levels ...
A group of researchers from Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University conducting DNA research decoded S-strain genome for Cladosiphon okamuranus and found that its size was roughly 140 Mbp and smaller relative to other brown alga.
In 2004, Gorbunova and Andrei Seluanov established a research laboratory at the University of Rochester to study the evolution of tumour suppressor mechanisms in rodents. [1] Two years later, Gorbunova conducted a study which discovered that the enzyme telomerase had a more significant correlation with body mass than longevity.
They have cellulose walls with alginic acid and also contain the polysaccharide fucoidan in the amorphous sections of their cell walls. A few species (of Padina) calcify with aragonite needles. [26] In addition to alginates, fucoidan and cellulose, the carbohydrate composition of brown algae consists of mannitol, laminarin and glucan. [52]
The α(1→3) linked core of fucoidan is a suspected carbohydrate antigen for IgE-mediated allergy. [ 2 ] Two structural features distinguish fucose from other six-carbon sugars present in mammals: the lack of a hydroxyl group on the carbon at the 6-position (C-6) (thereby making it a deoxy sugar ) and the L -configuration .

Studies have shown that the sponge microbiome contributes to nitrogen cycling in the oceans, especially through the oxidation of ammonia by archaea and bacteria. [ 78 ] [ 79 ] Most recently, microbial symbionts of tropical sponges were shown to produce and store polyphosphate granules, [ 80 ] perhaps enabling the host to survive periods of ...
