The polysaccharide systems from cystocarpic and tetrasporic phases of the Sub-Antarctic algae Iridaea cordata were studied. Cystocarpic plant polysaccharides are mainly composed by carrageenans of the κ–family. However, agaran structures were also detected in the fraction soluble in 2.00 M KCl, afte...
