Abstract
Microalgae are abundant components of the biosphere rich in low molecular weight carbohydrate-containing natural products (glycoconjugates). Glycoconjugates take part in the processes of photosynthesis, provide producers with important biological molecules, influence other organisms and are known by their biological activities. Some of them, for example, glycosylated toxins and arsenicals, are detrimental and can be transferred via food chains into higher organisms, including humans. So far, the studies on a series of particular groups of microalgal glycoconjugates were not comprehensively discussed in special reviews. In this review, a special focus is given to glycoconjugates' isolation, structure determination, properties and approaches to search for new bioactive metabolites. Analysis of literature data concerning structures, functions and biological activities of ribosylated arsenicals, galactosylated and sulfoquinovosylated lipids, phosphoglycolipids, glycoside derivatives of toxins, and other groups of glycoconjugates was carried out and discussed. Recent studies were fundamental in the discovery of a great variety of new carbohydrate-containing metabolites and their biological activities in defining the role of microalgal viral infections in regulating microalgal blooms as well as in the detection of glycoconjugates with potent immunomodulatory properties. Those discoveries support growing interest in these molecules.

Abstract
The investigation is related to the development of a general strategy for the synthesis of glycolipids including analogs bearing polyunsaturated fatty acids. In particular, here we report exceptionally mild and selective conditions to remove acetate protecting groups from glyceroglycolipids by hydrazinolysis. Synthetic 1,2-O-di-arachidonoyl-3-O-β-galactosyl-glycerol was used as representative of polyunsaturated β-galactosyl-di-acyl-glycerols due to its reactivity under the conditions usually employed in literature.

Abstract
The chemical composition of monogalactosyldiacylglycerols (MGDGs) from brown alga Sargassum horneri and their inhibitory effects on lipid accumulation were investigated in this study. A total of 10 molecular species of MGDGs were identified using nuclear magnetic resonance, alkaline hydrolysis, gas chromatography-flame ionization detector, and high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methods. Individual molecular species of MGDGs, including (2S)-1-O-myristoyl-2-O-palmitoleoyl-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (1), (2S)-1-O-myristoyl-2-O-linoleyl-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (3), (2S)-1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-linolenoyl-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (5), (2S)-1-O-myristoyl-2-O-oleyl-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (7), (2S)-1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-palmitoleoyl-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (8), (2S)-1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-linoleyl-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (9), and (2S)-1-O-palmitoyl-2-O-oleyl-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (10), were then furnished using semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography, and their inhibitory effects on triglyceride (TG) accumulation and free fatty acid (FFA) levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes were evaluated. Compounds 3 and 9 showed inhibitory effects on TG and FFA accumulation, with TG levels of 1.568 ± 0.2808 and 1.701 ± 0.1460 μmol/L and FFA levels of 0.149 ± 0.0258 and 0.198 ± 0.0229 mequiv/L, respectively, which were more effective than other compounds. The primary structure-activity relationship suggested that linoleyl [18:2(ω-6)] in the sn-2 position played an important role on triglyceride accumulation inhibition.

Abstract
Methanolic extracts of some marine and freshwater microalgae were tested for their nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity on lipopolysaccharide-induced NO production in RAW264.7 macrophage cells. Among the tested extracts, Tetraselmis chui extract showed the strongest NO inhibitory activity, thus selected for further study. NO inhibitory activity guided isolation led to identification of two monogalactosyldiacylglycerols (MGDGs) (2S)-1-O-(6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatetranoyl)-2-O-(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z-hexadecatetranoyl)-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosylglycerol (1) and (2S)-1-O-(9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatrinoyl)-2-O-(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z-hexadecatetranoyl)-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosylglycerol (2) from the MeOH extract of T. chui. The stereo-chemistry of 1 was elucidated by classical degradation method. MGDGs 1 and 2 showed strong NO inhibitory activity compared to N(G)-methyl-L-arginine acetate salt, a well known NO inhibitor used as a positive control. Isolated MGDGs suppressed NO production through down-regulation of inducible NO synthase protein. A structure activity relationship study suggested that the polyunsaturated fatty acids of the MGDGs are responsible for NO inhibition. Moreover, increasing unsaturation on the fatty acid side chains enhanced the NO inhibitory potency of the MGDGs.

Abstract
Chemical investigation of the freshwater microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana led to the isolation of a new monogalactosylmonoacylglycerol, namely, (2S)-1-O-(7Z,10Z-hexadecadienoyl)-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosylglycerol (1) together with a known glycolipid (2S)-1-O-(7Z,10Z,13Z-hexadecatrienoyl)-3-O-β-D-galactopyranosylglycerol (2). Both monogalactosylmonoacylglycerols showed dose-dependent nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide-induced NO production in RAW264.7 macrophage cells suggesting their possible use as anti-inflammatory agents.

Reassessing the ichthyotoxin profile of cultured Prymnesium parvum (golden algae) and comparing it to samples collected from recent freshwater bloom and fish kill events in North America. Toxicon 2010; 55:1396-404.

Abstract
Within the last two decades, Prymnesium parvum (golden algae) has rapidly spread into inland waterways across the southern portion of North America and this organism has now appeared in more northerly distributed watersheds. In its wake, golden algae blooms have left an alarming trail of ecological devastation, namely massive fish kills, which are threatening the economic and recreational value of freshwater systems throughout the United States. To further understand the nature of this emerging crisis, our group investigated the chemical nature of the toxin(s) produced by P. parvum. We approached the problem using a two-pronged strategy that included analyzing both laboratory-grown golden algae and field-collected samples of P. parvum. Our results demonstrate that there is a striking difference in the toxin profiles for these two systems. An assemblage of potently ichthyotoxic fatty acids consisting primarily of stearidonic acid was identified in P. parvum cultures. While the concentration of the fatty acids alone was sufficient to account for the rapid-onset ichthyotoxic properties of cultured P. parvum, we also detected a second type of highly labile ichthyotoxic substance(s) in laboratory-grown golden algae that remains uncharacterized. In contrast, the amounts of stearidonic acid and its related congeners present in samples from recent bloom and fish kill sites fell well below the limits necessary to induce acute toxicity in fish. However, a highly labile ichthyotoxic substance, which is similar to the one found in laboratory-grown P. parvum cultures, was also detected. We propose that the uncharacterized labile metabolite produced by P. parvum is responsible for golden algae's devastating fish killing effects. Moreover, we have determined that the biologically-relevant ichthyotoxins produced by P. parvum are not the prymnesins as is widely believed. Our results suggest that further intensive efforts will be required to chemically define P. parvum's ichthyotoxins under natural bloom conditions.

Abstract
Two monogalactosyl diacylglycerols, 1 and 2, were isolated from the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum, using the patented ApopScreen cell-based screen for apoptosis-inducing, potential anticancer compounds. The molecular structures of the galactolipids were determined using a combination of NMR, mass spectrometry, and chemical degradation. The bioactivities were confirmed using a specific apoptosis induction assay based on genetically engineered mammalian cell lines with differential, defined capacities for apoptosis. The galactolipids induce apoptosis in micromolar concentrations. This is the first report of apoptosis induction by galactolipids.

Abstract
Two new monogalactosyl diacylglycerols (MGDGs) along with two known glycolipids were isolated from the moderate polar fraction of the methanolic extract of the brown alga Sargassum thunbergii by using reversed silica flash chromatography. Two new MGDGs were identified as (2S)-1-O-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-eicosapentaenoyl)-2-O-(9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoyl)-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (1) and (2S)-1-O-(9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoyl)-2-O-(6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatetraenoyl)-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (2) by FAB tandem mass spectrometry, NMR techniques, and specific enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of the sn-1 fatty acyl linkage. The regiochemical attachment of the acyl chains in the glycerol moiety was established by 2D NMR correlations and confirmed by enzymatic hydrolysis.

Abstract
Three distinct fractions containing polar glycolipids (PF(1-3)) were isolated from the chloroform soluble fraction of crude methanolic extract of red alga Chondria armata (Kütz.) Okamura on gel chromatography over Sephadex LH20. Their structure was elucidated by multidimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques like 1H, 1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY), 1H, 1H total COSY (TOCSY), 1H, 13C heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (HMQC), and 1H, 13C heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) complemented by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in the positive ion mode. The coupling constant of the anomeric proton in 1H NMR spectrum and sign of rotation indicated an exclusive configuration of the sugar molecules in the glycerolipids. Major glycolipids were identified as (2R)-2-O-(5,8,11,14-eicosatetranoyl)-3-O-alpha-d-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (GL2), its pentacetate (GL1), and (2R)-1-O-(palmitoyl)-2-O-(5,8,11, 14,17-eicosapentanoyl)-3-O-beta-d-galactopyranosyl-sn-glycerol (GL3). Each was methanolysed to give the same galactosylglycerol which on ESI-MS provided a pseudomolecular ion at m/z 309 representing deacylated glycolipid with the sodiated sugar moiety. Additionally, six minor glycolipids were also identified on the basis of ESI-MS. These include a 1,2-di-O-acyl-3-O-(acyl-6'-galactosyl)-glycerol (GL1a), sulfonoglycolipids 2-O-palmitoyl-3-O-(6'-sulfoquinovopyranosyl)-glycerol (GL2a) and its ethyl ether derivative (GL2b), 1-oleoyl-2-palmitoyl-3-O-galactosyl glycerol (GL3a), and 1,2-diacyl phosphatidyl glycerol (GL3b). GL1, GL1a, and GL2b are new to the literature. The novelty of the remaining identified compounds lies in the diversity of their fatty acid composition. Antimicrobial properties of these glycolipids against pathogens were evaluated. The yeast Candida albicans and the bacteria Klebsiella sp. were as sensitive as the standard Nystatin and antibiotic Streptomycin against PF3. Considerable activity was expressed by the same metabolite against the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans as compared to the control. Weak activity against the bacteria Shigella flexineri and Vibrio cholerae and the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus was also observed. Fraction PF2 was weakly active against some strains whereas all of them were resistant to its acetyl derivative PF1. Antimicrobial activity of glycolipids is being reported here for the first time.

Abstract
The analysis and identification of a wide range of secondary metabolites biosynthesized by different algal taxa and cyanobacteria has been performed through a selective and sensitive methodology, mainly based on reversed-phase HPLC coupled both to UV photodiode array detection and to atmospheric pressure mass spectrometric techniques (HPLC-DAD-APIMS). Results are reported here with special attention to the analyses carried out both on the natural phytoplankton (mixed populations) of Lake Tovel (Northern Italy, Brenta Dolomites) and on enclosure-produced biomass of the dinoflagellate Glenodinium sanguineum Marchesoni (1941). This analytical procedure might represent a powerful tool for the fast screening of the taxonomic composition (broad groups, e.g. divisions) of natural mixed populations of phytoplankton, by providing a reliable distribution of accessory pigments extracted from microalgae, such as carotenoids and chlorophyll derivatives. Furthermore, we showed that in the same chromatographic analysis other classes of natural products, such as galactolipids, alkaloids, sterols and mycosporine-like amino acids, can be detected by using combined optical and mass spectrometric techniques. These metabolites represent distinctive biochemical signatures, sometimes even at the species level.

The structures of the cerebrosides were characterized as 1-O-beta-D-glucosides of phytosphingosines, which comprised a common long-chain base, (2S,3S,4R,8Z)-2-amino-8(Z)-octadecene-1,3,4-triol with nine 2-hydroxy fatty acids of varying chain lengths (C(16), C(18), C(20-26)) linked to the amino group. The glycosylglyceride was characterized as (2S)-1-O-linolenoyl-3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosylglycerol. The structures were established on the basis of the spectroscopic data and chemical reactions.

Abstract
Electrospray ionization-quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI-QITMS), either in positive- or in negative-ion mode, has been used to establish the chemical structures (chain length, degree of unsaturation, positional distribution) of the fatty acids attached to the primary (sn-1) and secondary (sn-2) hydroxyl groups of the glycerol moiety of natural monogalactosyl- (MGDG) and digalactosyldiacylglycerols (DGDG), isolated from the freshwater dinoflagellate Glenodinium sanguineum and from a marine diatom belonging to the genus Chaetoceros. Fragmentation by collision-induced dissociation of a single component in MGDG and DGDG mixtures, separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and detected on-line by tandem positive-ion ESI-MS, leads to a clear-cut determination of the positional distribution of the sn-glycerol-bound fatty acyl chains. Reversed-phase liquid chromatography allowed a partial resolution of the component mixture before ESI-MS/MS analysis. These results were validated by comparison with ESI-MS data obtained for the sn-2 lysoglyceroglycolipids synthesized via regiospecific enzymatic hydrolysis of the corresponding diacylglycerols by Rhizopus arrhizus lipase.

Abstract
The unicellular eukaryotic dinoflagellates shed their flagella and form a new pellicle cyst wall in response to environmental stress. This encystment process can also be induced by indoleamines such as melatonin and 5-methoxytryptamine. To decipher the complex signaling events which lead to encystment, we have investigated the functional roles of Ca2+ and inositol phosphates in indoleamine-induced encystment of the dinoflagellates Alexandrium catenella and Crypthecodinium cohnii. Pretreatment with EGTA, but not with EDTA, effectively blocked the indoleamine-induced encystment of A. catenella in a dose-dependent manner. Conversely, agents that facilitate the influx of Ca2+ (Bay K 8644, A23187 and ionomycin) dose-dependently induced encystment of A. catenella. Endoplasmic Ca2+-ATPase inhibitors such as thapsigargin and the peptide toxin melittin also induced encystment of A. catenella. These results suggest that an elevation of intracellular [Ca2+] may be involved in the encystment response. In terms of the regulation of phospholipase C, melatonin dose- and time-dependently stimulated the formation of inositol phosphates in C. cohnii. The rank order of potency for several indoleamines to stimulate inositol phosphates formation was 2-iodomelatonin > 5-methoxytryptamine > or = melatonin >> N-acetylserotonin > 5-hydroxytryptamine. This rank order was the same as for the indoleamine-induced encystment of C. cohnii as previously reported. Our results indicate that indoleamine-induced activation of phospholipase C and elevation of intracellular [Ca2+] may be proximal steps in the signal transduction pathway leading to encystment in dinoflagellates. Moreover, this is the first demonstration of the possible involvement of Ca2+ and inositol phosphates as second messengers in dinoflagellates.
