Research progress in marine microalgae polysaccharides
Marine microalgae have the advantages of easy cultivation,fast growth rate,and occupying no arable land,making them highly potential marine germplasm resources.The microalgae polysaccharides produced by then have various biological activities such as antioxidant,antiviral,hypoglycemic,and regulating intestinal microbiota.They also have advantages such as good safety,high biocompatibility,biodegradability,and stable cultivation,making them one of the cutting-edge hotspots in the field of future marine biology research.This article reviews the sources,structural characteristics,biological activities,and applications in the fields of medicine and food of major marine microalgae polysaccharides in recent years,providing a theoretical basis and methodological reference for further development and utilization of marine microalgae polysaccharides resources.
