Abstract
A complex polysaccharide has been isolated from the fresh-water alga, A. cylindrica, grown in a synthetic culture medium. Prolonged acid hydrolysis yielded glucose, xylose, glucuronic acid, galactose, rhamnose, and arabinose in a molar ratio of 5:4:4:1:1:1. Chemical fractionations of the polysaccharide material from solution in cupriethylenediamine, and of its acetate from organic solvents indicated chemical homogeneity.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
