Abstract
Glycan Composites and methods for rendering glycan composites for the treatment of photosynthetic organisms, including the steps of formulating branched glycan deglycosylates into coordination complex compositions resulting in water-borne availability; stability during storage; applying a suitable volume of the resulting mixture to one or more photosynthetic organisms; delivery to photosynthetic organisms; metabolically based growth of crops; enhanced qualities and increased quantities of crops; and systems and compositions for the same.
Claims (6)
1. A method of accumulating sugars in a photosynthetic organism to make said sugars available for respiration of oxygen to carbon dioxide, comprising applying to said organism an amount of a formulation effective to achieve an increase in sugar content as measured by Brix, compared to sugar content prior to said application of said formulation, said formulation comprising a glycan composite comprising one or more branched glycans with a glycopyranose or acylglycosamine terminal ligand, Ca +2 , and a Mn 2+ transition metal 2+ coordination complex.
2. A method of accumulating sugars in a photosynthetic organism to make said sugars available for respiration of oxygen to carbon dioxide with glycan composites, comprising applying to said organism an amount of a formulation effective to achieve an increase in sugar content as measured by Brix, compared to sugar content prior to said application of said formulation, said formulation comprising a glycan composite comprising one or more branched glycans with a glycopyranose or acylglycosamine terminal ligand, Ca +2 , and one or more D-block transition metal 2+ coordination complexes, wherein said one or more branched glycans is selected from the group consisting of Galactopyranosyl-glucopyranosyl-mannopyranosyl-N-glycan; Mannopyranosyl 1-8 -N-glycan; Mannopyranosyl 1-8 -N-acetylglucosamine 1-3 ; Mannopyranosyl 1-8 -N-acetylgalactosamine 1-3 ; Mannopyranosyl-xylosyl-N-acetylgalactosamine 1-3 ; Glycan-N-acylglycosamine; Glycan-N-acylglucosamine; Glycan-N-acylneuramine; and Glycan-N-acylgalactosamine.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said one or more branched glycans are derived from one or more hydrolyzed algal natural sources selected from the group consisting of algal Chlorophyta, algal Rhodophyta and algal Chromoveolata.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said one or more branched glycans are derived from one or more hydrolyzed natural sources selected from the group consisting of microbes, bacteria, mushrooms, arthropods, crustaceans, shellfish, fish, krill, insects, guano, offal, blood, marrow, liver, animal organ, bark, sawdust, wood, bone, exoskeleton, ferment, bycatch and manure.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said one or more branched glycans is an N-linked glycan Mannopyranosyl α1,2(Mannopyranosyl @1,6)Mannopyranosyl β1,4-N-AcetylGalactosamine having the following formula:
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said photosynthetic organism is a crop plant.
