The sulfated mucopolysaccharide composition of 22 species of invertebrates belonging to the phyla Arthropoda, Mollusca, Annelida, Tunicata, Echinodermata, Coelenterata, and Porifera was analyzed. It is shown that all the species contain variable amounts of one or more types of sulfated mocopolysaccharides, most of which similar to the ones found in vertebrates. It is shown also that each species has a characteristic composition, differing from each other regarding the relative amount and type of chondroitin sulfates A, B, and C, heparitin sulfate, and heparin. The possible biological role of the sulfated mucopolysaccharides in cell recognition or aggregation or both is discussed in view of the present findings.
