Central and storage carbon metabolism of the brown alga Ectocarpus siliculosus : insights into the origin and evolution of storage carbohydrates in Eukaryotes

• Brown algae exhibit a unique carbon (C) storage metabolism. The photoassimilate D-fructose 6-phosphate is not used to produce sucrose but is converted into D-mannitol. These seaweeds also store C as β-1,3-glucan (laminarin), thus markedly departing from most living organisms, which use α-1,4-gluca...
