Polysaccharide fucoidan BAM1 antibody binding in porewater samples from coastal vegetated ecosystems

Porewater of saltmarsh, seagrass and unvegetated areas around the German Bight in 2022 and 2023 was sampled at 50cm depth. A transect of up to 9 points per ecosystem were sampled. Polysaccharides >5kDa were upconcentrated using AMICON-filtration device, freeze dried and dried samples were resuspended in MilliQ-water. Polysaccharides were screened for fucoidan BAM1 antibody binding using ELISA method, according to Cornuault et al. (2014).
