Popis: Sulfated and pyruvylated galactans are the major soluble polysaccharides produced by seaweeds of the Bryopsidales. Their backbones have a complex and variable pattern of substitution which, until now, has only been elucidated for a few species. Methods for determination of sulfate and pyruvic acid content, and chemical strategies to determine their position in the galactan chain are outlined here. These methods can also be applied to other sulfated and/or pyruvylated polysaccharides.
