L-galactose containing galactans from the carrageenophyte Gigartina skottsbergii.
Alkaline treatment of a partially cyclized mu/v-carrageenan and further fractionation with potassium chloride yielded a fraction soluble in 2 M KCl with negative optical rotation. We report the analysis and some structural features of this product, such as the presence of L-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose.
