Are Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) present in Kappaphycus alvarezii?

02 October 2022 0 5K Report

I am reviewing literature on K. alvarezii UV screen pigments and metabolites and though I find description of Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) in other red seaweeds, I don´t find any description for Kappaphycus. Could anyone comment , please?
