Abstract The structure of the major component contained in a liquid seaweed extract prepared fromAscophyllum nodosum (Phaeophyta, Fucales) was investigated. The extract was fractionated by gel permeation chromatography, and the various fractions were analysed by GLC, HPLC,13C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. All fractions were derivatives of the branched β-d-(1→3) glucan known as laminaran. They were capable of elicitingd-glycanase activities (laminaranase, α-amylase) inRubus fruticosus suspended-cell cultures.
