Seaweed remains the most abundant source of polysaccharides, but recent advances in biotechnology have allowed the production of large quantities of polysaccharides from a variety of micro-algae, by controlling growth conditions and tailoring the production of bioactive compounds in a bioreactor. Of particular interest are polysaccharides produced by micro-organisms from extreme marine environments, due to their recognized different biochemistry. Extracellular polysaccharides (EPSs) with unique properties produced by a number of micro-algae are known. The first volume is a collection of papers concerning the identification and characterization of novel marine polysaccharides. It is divided into three chapters; the first two are dedicated to polysaccharides from different marine sources (algae, micro-algae, animals), while the third one gathers information on the isolation, characterization and bioactivity of new EPSs. 517 $aMarine Polysaccharides 606 $aPolysaccharides$xBiotechnology 606 $aAgar 606 $aDrug delivery systems 615 0$aPolysaccharides$xBiotechnology. 615 0$aAgar. 615 0$aDrug delivery systems. 676 $a660.63 702 $aLaurienzo$b Paola 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688428103321 996 $aMarine Polysaccharides$93013781 997 $aUNINA
