Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskal) j. Agardh'nın (Chlorophyceae=Yeşil Algler) biyokimyasal içeriği

Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskål) J. Agardh ve Caulerpa taxifolia (Vahl) C. Agardh (Chlorophyceae=Yeşil Algler) Akdeniz’de problem olan istilacı türlerdir. C. taxifolia Türkiye kıyılarında bulunmamasına karşın C. racemosa Türkiye’nin Ege ve Akdeniz kıyılarında yayılış göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada, Seferihisar (İzmir, Ege Denizi)’dan 2002–2003 yıllarında toplanan C. racemosa’nın biyokimyasal içeriği mevsimsel olarak belirlenmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarında toplam su miktarı %92.75-95.93, ham protein %12.94- 20.18, inorganik madde (kül) %8.02-19.50 ve suda eriyebilir karbonhidrat 0.65-1.11 mg/100ml olduğu saptanmıştır.

Biochemical contents of Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskal) j. Agardh (Chlorophyceae=Green Algae)

Biochemical contents of Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskål) J. Agardh (Chlorophyceae=Green Algae). Caulerpa racemosa (Forsskål) J. Agardh and Caulerpa taxifolia (Vahl) C. Agardh (Chlorophyceae=Green Algae) are invasive species and a problem in the Mediterranean Sea. C. taxifolia was not reported from Turkey but C. racemosa was distributed in the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts of Turkey. In this study, a chemical content of C. racemosa that was seasonally collected from Seferihisar (Izmir, Aegean Sea) was determined during 2002-2003. Chemical analysis indicated that C. racemosa has 92.75-95.93% total water, 12.94-20.18% protein, 8.02-19.50% ash and 0.65-1.11 mg/100 ml soluble carbohydrates.
