Molecular Phylogeny of Egyptian Sea Cucumbers As Predicted From 16s Mitochondrial rRNA Gene Sequences
Abstarct: A molecular phylogenetic analysis of some Holothuroidea was undertaken in order to clarify the systematics and taxonomy of this class in the red sea. DNA sequence for portions of 16S mitochondrial genes was obtained from 4 species of sea cucumbers. The resulting molecular phylogeny using maximum likelihood methods of the Holothuroidea conflicting existing taxonomy, which is based larg...
متن کاملTasmanian Sea ~ Cucumbers ( Holothuroidea )
Over five hundred and forty of seacucumbers eollected on the southern coasts of Tasmania have in the course of the present study. Seven families, 12 and 14 species are represented in the One is regarded are as new, adhaerens, TaVUtll. and Paraca.udina. Three other species have not been recorded previously from Tasmania but are known from the coast of Victoria. They are Cllcurnella Jnutans incon...
متن کاملAntischistosomal Activity of Two Active Constituents Isolated from the Leaves of Egyptian Medicinal Plants
In this paper, we investigate the role of two active constituents isolated from the leaves of Egyptian medicinal plants. D-mannitol a naturally occurring sugar isolated from the leaves Ixora undulata Roxb., and the pectin a linear chain homogalacturonan (HG) polysaccharide isolated from the leaves of Linum grandiflorum Desf. (scarlet flax). Both are evaluated for their therapeutic effect agains...
متن کاملBiologically Active Triterpene Glycosides from Sea Cucumbers (holothuroidea, Echinodermata)
Sea cucumbers are characterized by their content in holothurins, triterpenoid glycosides that are responsible for the toxicity of these echinoderms. Nearly 100 holothurins isolated in the last twenty years are grouped into three main aglycone structural types: 3p-hydrox>iiolost-9(ll)-ene, 3p-hydrox5*iolost-7-ene and nonholostane based aglycones. This communication offers a general view of the s...
متن کاملGlycosides from edible sea cucumbers stimulate macrophages via purinergic receptors
Since ancient times, edible sea cucumbers have been considered a jewel of the seabed and used in Asian folk medicine for stimulation of resistance against different diseases. However, the power of this sea food has not been established on a molecular level. A particular group of triterpene glycosides was found to be characteristic metabolites of the animals, responsible for this biological acti...
