Development of Cryopreservation Techniques for Gorgonian (Junceella juncea) Oocytes through Vitrification
Gorgonian corals are slowly declining due to human interaction and environmental impacts. Cryopreservation of gorgonian corals is an ex-situ method of conservation, ensuring future reproduction. The present study assessed the vitrification properties of cryoprotectant (CPT) mixtures using the cryotop, cryoloop and open pulled straw (OPS) cryopereservation methods prior to experimentation on gor...

متن کاملChlorinated briarane diterpenoids from the sea whip gorgonian corals Junceella fragilis and Ellisella robusta (Ellisellidae).
A new chlorinated briarane, fragilide J (1), has been isolated from the sea whip gorgonian coral Junceella fragilis. In addition, the sea whip gorgonian coral Ellisella robusta yielded two chlorinated briaranes, including a new compound, robustolide L (2), and a known metabolite, robustolide H (3). The structures of these compounds were determined using spectroscopic methods. The structure, inc...

متن کاملLipid Content and Composition of Oocytes from Five Coral Species: Potential Implications for Future Cryopreservation Efforts
Given the previously documented importance of lipid concentration and composition in the successful cryopreservation of gorgonian corals, these parameters were assessed in oocytes of five species of scleractinian coral; Platygyra daedalea, Echinopora gemmacea, Echinophyllia aspera, Oxypora lacera and Astreopora expansa. Wax esters, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, and fatty acids ...
