Probing rapid carbon fixation in fast-growing seaweed Ulva meridionalis using stable isotope 13C-labelling

Abstract The high growth rate of Ulva seaweeds makes it a potential algal biomass resource. In particular, Ulva meridionalis grows up to fourfold a day. Here, we demonstrated strong carbon fixation by U. meridionalis using 13C stable isotope labelling and traced the 13C flux through sugar metabolite...
