Table 2. Glucans content in crude extract of C. muelleri.

	T1	T2	T3
α-glucan (% w/w)	0.059 ± 0.003c	0.054 ± 0.002b	0.013 ± 0.002a
β-glucan (% w/w)	2.92 ± 0.30a	11.59 ± 0.18b	79.45 ± 1.40c
Total glucan (% w/w)	2.98 ± 0.30a	11.64 ± 0.18b	79.47 ± 1.40c

Note:

The mean and standard deviation (SD) of three replicates were used to express data. Different letters represent the statistical significant different at 95% confident interval (p < 0.05) . T1 = standard Guillard F/2 medium; T2 = modified Guillard F/2 medium supplemented with 0.05 g L⁻¹ sodium bicarbonate; T3 = modified Guillard F/2 medium with a 50% reduction in nitrogen.
