Objective: To extract polysaccharides from Caulerpa taxifolia and determine its anti-virus bioactivity.
Methods: The crude polysaccharides were extracted by hot water and precipitated with ethanol, then they were further purified by DEAE-Cellulose and Sephadex G-200 chromatography. After determined by chemicophysical analysis, the polished polysaccharides were selenium treated and bio-assayed by MT and CPE methods.
Results: The crude extraction from Caulerpa taxifolia was a kind of sulfated polysaccharides in which the average content of polysaccharides and sulfate were 27. 9% and 11.5%, respectively. The recovery rate of the polished polysaccharides was 66.3% after the 2-column purification. The IC50 and TI of the purified polysaccharide SCpl1 were 2.2 mg/mL and 3057.0, respectively. After treated with selenium, the average diameter of the nanoparticle was 28.6 nm, and its bioactivity and TI index were enhanced significantly although with a higher cytotoxicity.
Conclusion: The polysaccharides from Caulerpa taxifolia and its selenium particles was a kind of bioactive substance for anti-virus drug-candidate development.

Algal polysaccharide is an important food functional factor with diverse bioactive and low toxicity. Previous studies have confirmed Caulerpa chemnitzia polysaccharides (CRVP) have immunomodulatory activity, but the immunomodulatory mechanism of CRVP in macrophages has not been thoroughly explored yet. In our research, we found that CRVP has outstanding immunomodulatory activity in macrophages, which is reflected in promoting cell proliferation, upregulating cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) expression, and increasing NO and ROS levels.

In this study, β-1,3-xylanase (Xyl3088) was designed and prepared by constructing the expression vector plasmid and expressing and purifying the fusion protein. β-1,3-xylo-oligosaccharides were obtained through the specific enzymatic degradation of β-1, 3-xylan from Caulerpa lentillifera. The enzymolysis conditions were established and optimized as follows: Tris-HCl solution 0.
