Abstract
More than 500 sulfated compounds have been isolated from marine organi sms so far but most of them originate from two phyla only, Spongia and Echinodermata. The sulfated compounds are presented according to the phyla they have been identified from and to their chemical structures. Biological activities, when available, are also given. Macromolecules have also been included in this review but without structural details . (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Inc.
