ABSTRACT
Qualitative and quantitative studies of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) in three species of the genus Gracilaria Greville (G. birdiae, G. domingensis and G. tenuistipitata) were performed. A simple and efficient extraction procedure based on ethanol was described. HPLC, UV and mass spectrometry experiments revealed different profiles between extracts obtained from one species cultivated in the laboratory (G. tenuistipitata) and two species collected in their natural environment (G. birdiae and G. domingensis). The levels detected in the latter two species were approximately 150 times higher than in the species cultivated in vitro. This study revealed that G. birdiae and G. domingensis present a potential source for economical exploration of MAAs.
