Sulfated polysaccharides in the freshwater green macroalga cladophora surera not linked to salinity adaptation

"The presence of sulfated polysaccharides in cell walls of seaweeds is considered to be a consequence of the physiological adaptation to the high salinity of the marine environment. Recently, it was found that sulfated polysaccharides were present in certain freshwater Cladophora species and so...
