Abstract
SALAVARRIA PALMA, Erika A and PAUL, Sujay. A peep into the transcriptome studies of the industrially important brown algae with special focus on Macrocystis genus. Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.1, pp.49-53. ISSN 1727-9933. http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rpb.v27i1.17579.
Brown algae are a commercial source of different polysaccharides/hydrocolloids that has been used to produce food, pharmaceutical, and several other useful biotechnological stuff. Nevertheless, transcriptomics has become a tool that not only provides valuable information for the understanding of the physiological processes of a species but also allows the identification of industrially important candidate genes. This study describes the transcriptome of brown algae and their industrial application with a special focus on Macrocystis integrifolia.
Keywords : Macrocystis integrifolia; transcriptomics; wall polysaccharides.
