Abstract
AbstractThe metachromatic properties of agars obtained from Turkish coast of carrageenan were investigated after eluation on Sepharose 2B.• The each 5ml eluate was separated and α-, β- bands were determined with azur A by spectrophotometer. The metachromatic band is shown amongst the volume of the eluates are: for agars; 15¬-55 ml for Phyllophora nervosa, Gracilaria verrucosa 20-45 mI, Ceramium rubrum 25-55 mI, 15-45ml for Gelidium latifolium and 20-30 mI for Pasteur agar and 25-95 m1 for carrageenan. The results show that the metachromatic properties of agars tested were not similar.
