    Notes: Abstract Kjellmaniella crassifolia, the edible macro-brown alga in Japan contained nearly 27% of alginates of which nearly 7% was extractable from the fronds with boiling water for 6 h and the residual alginates in the frond were almost exhaustively extracted with a dilute alkali at 60 °C for 6 h. The alginates dissolved in all these extracts with both boiling water and dilute alkali were purified by fractionation with MgCl2 and alcohol. The content of MM blocks in the boiling water-soluble alginate sample increased remarkably during heating for 6 h while that of GG blocks from the same sample decreased. In contrast, MM blocks in the alkali-soluble alginate sample decreased during 6 h heating while GG blocks continued to increase. Since the amounts of MG blocks showed slight fluctation, the M:G ratio of alginates extracted with boiling water increased towards the end of extraction whereas the reverse is true for the alkali-soluble alginates.

    Notes: Abstract Powdered tissue from 46 species of air-dried marine algae (four green, 21 brown and 21 red algae) were screened for antitumor activity. Significant activity against Ehrlich carcinoma was found in the brown algae Scytosiphon lomentaria (69.8% inhibition), Lessonia nigrescens (60.0%), Laminaria japonica (57.6%), Sargassum ringgoldianum (46.5%), the red algae Porphyra yezoensis (53.2%) and Eucheuma gelatinae (52.1%) and the green alga Enteromorpha prolifera (51.7%). Five brown and four red algae showed appreciable antitumor activity against Meth-A fibrosarcoma. To identify specific molecules with antitumor activity, 15 kinds of polysaccharide preparations of seaweed origin and 24 kinds of lipid fractions extracted from various seaweeds were tested. Appreciable inhibition of Ehrlich carcinoma was found for fucoidan preparations from Undaria pinnatifida and Sargassum ringgoldianum, for carrageenans and for porphyran. Several glycolipid and phospholipid fractions from brown and red algae were effective against Meth-A fibrosarcoma.

    Notes: Abstract Fatty acid composition, especially the distribution of eicosapolyenoic acids in several species of Gracilaria, was analyzed in relation to their taxonomy. The species have been grouped into two types based on distribution of these polyenoic acids: Type 1, which contains palmitic, oleic and arachidonic acids as the major components, and Type II, which contains eicosapentaenoic acid in addition to Type I fatty acids. Octadecapolyenoic acids were detected only in trace amounts in each Type. A similar remarkable difference also was observed in the fatty acid composition of lipid classes. The major component of eicosapolyenoic acids in Type I was arachidonic acid in all lipid classes. In Type II, eicosapentaenoic acid was the major component in monogalactosyl diacylglycerol, digalactosyl diacylglycerol, sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. Arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids were contained in large amounts in Type II phosphatidylcholine. Grouping of Gracilaria species into Type I and Type II is not entirely consistent with morphological and taxonomic features, but the difference in fatty acid composition is likely due to genetic rather than to environmental factors.

    Notes: The cellulase production from immobilized Trichoderma reesei composites prepared by radiation polymerization at low temperature was studied. The production of cellulase from the cells irradiated by radiation was slightly retarded at the initial stage of the culture, but was immediately recovered. The production of cellulase resulting from the growth of the immobilized cells proceeds efficiently in the composite having a porous polymer matrix, in which the productivity of cellulase varied with the hydrophilicity, the shape of the composite, monomer, and cell concentration. It was found that cellulase produced by immobilized growing cell composites effectively hydrolyzed cellulosic wastes such as newspaper and chaff which are pretreated by irradiation and crushing.
