Understanding the evolutionary processes that have shaped existing patterns of genetic diversity of reef-building corals over broad scales is required to inform long-term conservation planning. Genetic structure and diversity of the mass-spawning hard coral, Acropora tenuis, were assessed with seven DNA microsatellite loci from a series of isolated and discontinuous coastal and offshore reef sy...

[reaction: see text] (-)-(5S)-2-Imino-1-methylpyrrolidine-5-carboxylic acid (1), previously reported as the N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase inhibitor pyrostatin B, has been isolated from the organic extracts of the burrowing sponge Cliona tenuis. The structure of 1, including its absolute stereochemistry, was characterized from its spectral data and chemical transformations and confirmed by tot...

A total of 149 species and 209 strains of Korean Aphyllophorales in Seoul National University Fungus Collection (SFC) were analyzed by taxonomic and phylogenetic methods. Among those examined fungal specimens, 9 genera Abundisporus, Antrodiella, Cyphellopsis, Dendrothele, Dichomitus, Laxitextum, Piloderma, Skeletocutis and Tubulicrinis, and 23 species, Abundisporus fuscopurpureus, Antrodiella s...
