Iodine in Gorgonian Corals
In 1896 Drechsel demonstrated that the horny axial skeleton of the Mediterranean coral, Gorgonia cuvolinii, contains iodine in organic combination in a nitrogenous substance termed gorgonin by him. Hundeshagen (1895) had previously investigated an iodine-containing organic material which he separated from marine sponges; and later Harnack (1898) isolated from the same source a compound which he...
متن کاملMicrobial Regulation in Gorgonian Corals
Gorgonian corals possess many novel natural products that could potentially mediate coral-bacterial interactions. Since many bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) signals to facilitate colonization of host organisms, regulation of prokaryotic cell-to-cell communication may represent an important bacterial control mechanism. In the present study, we examined extracts of twelve species of Caribbean go...
متن کاملBriarane Diterpenoids Isolated from Gorgonian Corals between 2011 and 2013
The structures, names, bioactivities and references of 138 briarane-type diterpenoids, including 87 new compounds, are summarized in this review. All the briarane-type compounds mentioned in this review article were obtained from gorgonian corals including the genus Briareum, Dichotella, Junceella and Verrucella. Some of these compounds showed potential bioactivities.
متن کاملIn situ Rates of Fertilization Among Broadcast Spawning Gorgonian Corals.
Fertilization rates among marine benthic taxa have implicitly been assumed to be uniformly high in most analyses of life history evolution, but in situ fertilization rates during natural spawning events are rarely measured. Fertilization rates of the Caribbean gorgonians Plexaura kuna and Pseudoplexaura porosa were measured at a site in the San Blas Islands, Panama, by collecting eggs downstrea...
متن کاملSeasonal variation in chemical composition of the Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) from Karachi Coast
The chemical composition variations of the Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) from Karachi coast were investigated seasonally over the period of one year (2004-2005). Moisture, crude protein, fat and ash contents varied from 70.11-74.41%, 16.02- 20.09%, 3.0-12%, and 0.89-1.35% respectively. The seasonal data indicated that the main fatty acids of the total lipid were C16:0, C16:1, C18:0,...
