Review of Presence, Induction and Isolation of Major Cellular Constituents From <em>Porphyra</em> <em>Sensu Lato (Rhodophyceae)</em>, Including Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids (MAA's)

Abstract

Due to mixed terminology, the terms Porphyra sensu lato and Porphyra sensu stricto are often used. Porphyra sensu lato encompasses species that are closely related to Porphyra or until shortly belonged to the genus Porphyra such as Pyropia yezoensis, where Porphyra sensu stricto only applies to species currently belonging to the genus Porphyra [2,14-17].
