Essentially, two grams of dehydrated algal tissue cut in small pieces were subjected to papain digestion (60[degrees]C, 24 hours) as previously described (Rodrigues et al., 2010), followed by fractionation of a sample of extract (20 mg) dissolved in 10 mL of 50 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) by anion-exchange chromatography (DEAE-cellulose), where the column (1.2 X 12 cm)-bound SPs were eluted with NaCl (from 0 to 2 M, with 0.25 M of intervals) added to buffer of equilibrium and the collected fractions (2.5 mL) checked for SPs using metachromatic assay containing dimethymethylene blue in an Amersham Bioscience Ultrospec 3100 spectrosphotometer at 525 nm (Farndale, Buttle, & Barrett, 1986).
