Seaweed-Derived Ulvan: A Promising Marine Polysaccharide as a Sustainable Resource for Biomaterial Design.

Green seaweed is currently underused compared with other major seaweed types. Many scientists have reported applications of the green seaweed in various fields in recent years, which makes it a candidate for biomass production in industrial biorefineries. contains a unique polysaccharide called ulvan, which is being considered for medicinal and pharmacological applications.
