Abstract:
Two polysaccharide fractions, PS1 and PS2 from Lomentaria catenata consisted of D-Gal, L-Gal, D-Glc, D-Xyl, D-GlcA and sulphate. Partial hydrolysis led to the isolation and identification of oligosaccharides indicating the co-existence of an agarose and carrageenan backbone structure, in which D-Glc and D-GlcA residues occur as single units branching at O-3 of -->4)alpha-D-Gal(1--> and O-4 of -->3)beta-D-Gal(1-->, respectively.
