Abstract
WORKING on algæ other than the Chlorophyceæ, various investigators have established the existence of algal polysaccharides containing mannuronic, galactose or fucose residues, the two latter being in the form of sulphuric acid esters. An investigation of Ulva lactuca, a member of the Chlorophyceæ, undertaken with the hope of ultimate correlation with pigmentation, has unexpectedly revealed the presence of a rhamnose polysaccharide, hitherto unknown among algal products.
