Abstract
The cell wall ultrastructure of Gracilaria verrucosa was investigated, using electron microscopy, before and after extraction of the agar by two techniques. In this species, the agar is the main constituent of the cell wall matrix. The amorphous part of the cell wall disappeared after extraction and some structural modifications of the fibrillar squeletic phase were observed. These observations showed that a mild extraction method improves the colloid purity.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
