certain plants (Yonemoto et al., 1993). Accordingly, these depolymerized products in the
culture broth of the brown seaweed may contribute to plant growth.
Figure 5. Results of biodegradation of brown seaweed. Changes in the cell number, pH and in the
concentration of reducing sugars (A), the concentrations of cations (B), the concentrations of anions
