Alginate Biosynthesis

Alginate Biosynthesis is a metabolic process in which brown algae synthesize alginate, a linear polysaccharide composed of β-D-mannuronate and its C5-epimer α-L-guluronate, through the sequential action of enzymes including mannuronosyltransferases and epimerases that polymerize and modify sugar nucleotide precursors into extracellular matrix components essential for cell wall structure and environmental adaptation.
