Xylogalactans from Lithothamnion heterocladum, a crustose member of the Corallinales (Rhodophyta)

The main polysaccharides from the red seaweed Lithothamnion heterocladum share the general characteristics of corallinans (agar-like xylogalactans), even though this seaweed is crustose, whereas those previously studied in detail were articulated seaweeds. After fractionation by cetrimide precipitat...
