Cell-wall mannan from Codium latum was completely solubilized as methylol mannan from their microfibrils by treatment with paraformaldehyde-Me,SO systems at 150 "C, and it was purified by gel-permeation chromatography with Toyopearl gel under Me,SO elution. Mannan was regenerated by dilution of the

β¦ Synopsis
The cell wall microfibrils of Bryopsis maxima, a member of the order Siphonales which have been referred to as "noncellulosic plants", contain c 10% of n-glucan and ~90% of ( 1-3)~/I-D-xylan. A combination of enzymic analysis and 'H-n.m.r. spectroscopy confirmed that the D-ghCan was cellulose and that the algal cell-wall microfibtil seems to be composed not of a D-gluco-D-xylan but, mainly of a (1+3)-)5-u-xylan with small proportions of cellulose, which seemed to be present in an amorphous state in contrast to the trihelical strands of the (I -13)~B-o-xylan. * Studies on cell wall polysaccharides from siphonous green algae, Part III. For Part II, see ref. 1.

The chemical composition and structure of the glucan in the alkali-insoluble cell-wall polysaccharides from the marine green seaweed Ulva lactucu are reported. The cr-cellulose is composed (in mol%) of glucose (72.91, xylose (9.71, rhamnose (4.61, uranic acid (4.3), and sulfate (8.5). The last three
In order to obtain information on sugar sequences in the water soluble polysaccharides from Ulva "rigida", oligosaccharides were purified by anion exchange and gel permeation chromatography from the partial acid hydrolysate of the native or desulfated ulvan. The chemical structure and sugar sequence
