Chemical characterization of mucilage samples from the Gulf of Elefsis, Greece

Chemical analyses of mucus macroaggregates collected in the Gulf of Elefsis, depicted a low protein content and the presence of degradation products. IR and H- NMR spectroscopy demonstrated the presence of carbohydrates, aliphatic components, characteristic groups such as ester and amide groups and organosilicon compounds.The role of carbohydrate exudates by diatoms in the development and flocculation of diatom blooms was also investigated by observing biological specimens with epiflorescence microscopy using ConA lecitine conjugated with floresceine.
