Marine algae, third-generation biomass, can be used in bioenergy production and has many advantages, which is quick-growth, lignin-free, and non-primary food crop. Carbohydrates and lipids in marine algae are possible to make theoretically almost chemicals using chemical and biological process as ever hydrocarbons of petroleum. The brown seaweed, Saccharina japonica (Sea tangle, Dasima), is widely cultivated in Korea. It has a high content of easily degradable carbohydrates, making it a potential substrate for the production of biofuels. The composed carbohydrates of brown seaweed are alginate, laminaran, mannitol, and alginate. In this study, we investigate the fermentation and hydrolysis of Saccharina japonica as potential resources for biofuel production.
