A water-soluble polysaccharide named BGR-S2 from the bark of Avicennia marina was isolated by ultrasonic-assisted extraction with hot water followed by successive chromatographic purification using DEAE-Sepharose Fast-flow and Sephacryl S-300 columns. A symmetrical peak with an average molecular wei...
