Both the two major structural cell wall glycoproteins and the soluble excreted glycoproteins of Chlamydomonas reinhardii Levine WT II/32 contain low levels (approx. 1–4%) of sugar O ‐sulphate esters, asymmetrically distributed within the molecules. Preliminary characterization of their structure is described through [ 35 S] sulphate labelling experiments. The function of the sulphated glycoproteins is discussed in terms of their structural role and their water retaining properties.
