Cell-wall polysaccharides from the green seaweed Ulva "rigida" were extracted sequentially with oxalate, 1 and 4 M KOH, sodium chlorite and 4 M KOH again. The chemical composition of the soluble and insoluble extracts and of the DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B fractions of the soluble polysaccharide were deter

✦ Synopsis
Two alkali-soluble polysaccharide fractions from the cell wall of Ulva 'rigida' were determined to be ,3-1,4-linked glucoxylans and a /3-1,4-linked glucuronan by chemical and NMR spectroscopic analysis . The 13C NMR spectrum of water-soluble xyloglucuronorhamnan sulfate from Ulva 'rigida' referred to as ulvan is reported and the 13C and 1 H NMR chemical shifts of its major repeating unit, the aldobiuronic acid ,O-D-G1cA-(1,4)-L-Rha, are given . The composition and gelling properties of ulvan from Ulva species from `green tides' are also reported . The thermoreversible gel required both calcium and borate ions and the shear storage modulus G' was ion concentration dependent. The mechanism of gelation and the associations of the different Ulva cell wall soluble polysaccharides are discussed .

The structures of cell-wall mannans isolated from Aphanoascus mephitalus, A. fulvescens, A. verrucosus, and A. reticulisporus have been investigated by chemical analyses and 1D and 2D 1H and 13C NMR techniques. It was found that all of them consists of a relatively simple comb-like structure of the
