Agars used were from Phyllophora nervosa, Gracilaria verrucosa, Pterocladia capillecea, Ceramium rubrum, Hypnea musciformis, agar (Pasteur and commercial) and carrageenans were K -, tw, type LC and carrageenan obtained from Grateloupia dichotoma, Acanthophora delilei. IR spectra of these agars were compared with those of carrageenans. The bands of 805 and 705 cm-1 characteristic for carrageenans were absent at the spectra of the agars tested. Agars showed the same bands at (736, 771, 927, 968, 1253cm-1). It was proved that the sulfated polysaccharide obtained from Phyllophora nervosa was agar.
