On the origin of pristane in marine organisms

چکیده
Phytol-U-14C was adsorbed on algae and ingested in this form by zooplanktonic copepods (two species of Culunus). The lipids of these animals were analyzed after 48 hr and found to contain radioactive pristane and radioactive phytanic acid. The conversion of phytol to pristane by the copepods is interpreted as a likely biological source of pristane in nature.

On the origin of pristane in marine organisms.
Phytol-U-(14)C was adsorbed on algae and ingested in this form by zooplanktonic copepods (two species of Calanus). The lipids of these animals were analyzed after 48 hr and found to contain radioactive pristane and radioactive phytanic acid. The conversion of phytol to pristane by the copepods is interpreted as a likely biological source of pristane in nature.

متن کاملConcerns of resistant markers in marine ecosystem transformed plants
World population growth and requirement to global food security, application of genetic engineering and utilization of transgenic organisms have made more important. Using this technology, without regarding to its risks, can cause loses to environment. To generate transgenic organisms, selection systems are applied that cause to selective growth of transformed cells. Antibiotic resistance genes...
متن کاملHuman Virome
Viruses are dominant entities in the biosphere and parasitize all cellular life forms. The relative abundances of different classes of viruses are dramatically different between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In marine, soil and animal-associated environments, virus particles consistently outnumber cells by one to two orders of magnitude. It is estimated that 10 quintillion (1030) viral particles ...
