Alginate
Original language description
Alginate is a high molecular weight (>104 Da), straight-chain hydrophilic polysaccharide comprised of polyuronic acids secreted by brown algae and mucoid bacteria, such as several strains of Pseudomonas and Azotobacter. For such model microorganisms, the physical properties of alginate are crucial for substrate colonization, osmotic and desiccation stress adaptability, and free radical resilience. Irrespectively of its origin, alginate is composed by alternating alfa-L-guluronate and beta-D-mannuronate monomeric units linked through 1 → 4 glycosidic bonds and arranged into repeating homo- and heteropolymeric sequences. Bacterial alginate, however, is partially O-acetylated, which is thought as an evolutionary mechanism to alter its metal reactivity and viscosity
