Seaweeds agarophytes and associated epiphytic bacteria along Alexandria coastline, Egypt, with emphasis on the evaluation and extraction of agar and agarose
A survey of seaweeds along Alexandria coastline was carried out to choose a suitable agarophyte for extraction and evaluation of the agar and agarose substances, in addition to estimate and identify the epiphytic bacteria associated with these seaweeds which are capable of secreting package of hydro...
