Xu, Fei Chen, Xiu-Lan Zhang, Yu-Zhong Alginates Bacteria Hexuronic Acids Metabolic Networks and Pathways Glucuronic Acid Phaeophyceae Seawater Aquatic Organisms Brown algae, constituting the second largest group of marine macroalgae, fix significant amounts of inorganic carbon into alginate, the most abundant polysaccharide found in their cell walls. Alginate serves as an important macromolecular carbon source for marine bacteria. The catabolism of alginate by bacteria is an important step in the marine carbon cycle, and this area of research has attracted growing interests over the past decade.
