In clonal macroalgae, evidence of guerrilla and phalanx growth strategies has been related to a differential response due to a heterogeneous habitat. However, some species of the green algal genus Codium may exhibit different ...

Many intertidal rocky habitats of the Chilean coast were dominated by the dark green thalli of a mat-forming Codium. This green seaweed was ecologically important because it formed a permanent belt by coalescence between ...

β-(1 → 4)-d-Mannans constitute the major component of the cell wall of seaweeds of the genus Codium and replace cellulose as the major fibrillar component. They were found as major constituents of the hot water extracts ...

The genus Codium comprises c. 125 species widely distributed in marine coastal environments throughout the world. Due to morphological plasticity, the taxonomic delimitation of Codium species can be difficult. Sequences ...

Polysaccharides from Codium species have drawn attention due to their high anticoagulant activity. However, many different mechanisms of action have been proposed and the structure of the active compounds was usually not ...

Los utrículos de Codium decorticatum presentaron una gran vacuola central rodeada por una delgada capa de citoplasma parietal. Núcleos y otras organelas se localizaron en la porción más externa del citoplasma parietal, ...

Since the first description of sulfated polysaccharides from seaweeds, the biological activities of these compounds have been evaluated under different aspects and experimental procedures. Among the broad biological ...

The green algae of the genus Codium have recently been demonstrated to be an important source of sulfated galactans from the marine environment. Here, a sulfated galactan was isolated from the species Codium isthmocladum ...
