Glycosyl linkage analysis of CW polysaccharides of TR9 and Csol microalgae before and after cyclic D/R. Peak fractions of gel permeation chromatography were dialysed, freeze-concentrated, permethylated, depolymerized, reduced and acetylated. The resulting partially methylated alditol acetates were analysed by GC–MS as described by York et al. (1985). Peaks 2 and 5 corresponded to hot-water-soluble polysaccharides and peaks 4, 6 and 7 to KOH-soluble ones (for details see Table 1)
