چکیده
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 inconspicua (Bell) and CJoshua). The total nnmber of species now known to occur on the coast of Tasmania is 15. A description of each species is given.

Phylogeny of Sea Cucumber (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) as Inferred from 16S Mitochondrial rrna Gene Sequences (Filogeni Timun Laut (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) Berdasarkan Jujukan Gen 16S Mitokondria rrna)
This study aimed to determine phylogenetic relationship between and among selected species of sea cucumbers (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) using 16S mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene. Phylogenetic analyses of 37 partial sequences of 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene using three main methods namely neighbour joining (NJ), maximum parsimony (MP) and maximum likelihood (ML) showed the presence of ...

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 کاملAcetylated Triterpene Glycosides and Their Biological Activity from Holothuroidea Reported in the Past Six Decades
Sea cucumbers have been valued for many centuries as a tonic and functional food, dietary delicacies and important ingredients of traditional medicine in many Asian countries. An assortment of bioactive compounds has been described in sea cucumbers. The most important and abundant secondary metabolites from sea cucumbers are triterpene glycosides (saponins). Due to the wide range of their poten...
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 کاملOn some sea cucumbers from Ghana (Echinodermata: Holothuroidea) with descriptions of a new genus and one new species.
This paper reports on some sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea) in the collections of the NHMUK, taken off the coast of Ghana. Most result from collections around Accra during the years 1949-52. A couple of other species are included. Altogether six species are here reported, viz. Holothuria (Holothuria) dakarensis Panning, 1939; Holothuria (Semperothuria) imitans Ludwig, 1875; Holothuria (Vaneyothuri...
