Received on October 1, 1985; accepted on May 1, 1986 An extracellular polysacchande, released into the culture medium by Ankistrodesmus densus is shown to be a product of active photosynthesis rather than diagenesis. Although produced in the exponential phase, its accumulation is most pronounced in the stationary phase under conditions of nitrogen depletion. It is a glycan, containing residues of galactose, mannose, glucose, xylose, arabinose and a trace of rhamnose.
