It in this context, a green seaweed Ulva fasciata Delile was selected
as a potential feedstock for bioethanol production following
enzymatic hydrolysis. This species besides having higher polysaccharide
content grows luxuriantly and has worldwide distribution
regardless of geographical barriers. This species is also regarded as
an opportunistic species with potentials to form blooms (green
tide) when there is a sudden outburst of nutrients in the aquatic
streams.
