Biochemical composition of enigmatic green macroalgae, Caulerpa macrodisca Decaisne (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta)

The green macroalga Caulerpa macrodisca Decaisne was recently reported in East Malaysia with limited information recorded on the nutritional properties of this particular species. Hence, the present study was conducted to determine the biochemical composition of C. macrodisca collected from Sabah wa...
