A xylan from the red seaweed chaetangium fastigiatum

The main water-soluble polysaccharide from Chaetangium fastigiatum, a red seaweed of the order Nemalionales, is a xylan which appears from methylation analysis to contain (1 → 4)- and (1 → 3)-linked β-d-xylopyranose residues in the approximate ratio 3:1. There is evidence that this polysaccharide is...

Sumario:The main water-soluble polysaccharide from Chaetangium fastigiatum, a red seaweed of the order Nemalionales, is a xylan which appears from methylation analysis to contain (1 → 4)- and (1 → 3)-linked β-d-xylopyranose residues in the approximate ratio 3:1. There is evidence that this polysaccharide is branched to a small degree, is polydisperse, and has a random-coil conformation in aqueous solution. © 1971.
