The occurrence of three glutamate agonists — glutamic acid, D-homocysteic acid and kainic acid — in a spontaneous mutant of
Palmaria palmata is reported. Glutamic acid and D-homocysteic acid, but not kainic acid, were found in the wild-type plant. The closely related
glutamate agonist, domoic acid, was found in the red alga Chondria baileyana and in the diatom Nitzschia pungens forma multiseries. In the diatom, domoic acid can build up to high levels in excess of 3% (dry wt.), making N. pungens a potential commercial source of this neuroactive amino acid. Information is also presented on the distribution, chemistry
and biological activity of neuroactive amino acids from algae, and a possible biogenic relationship among kainoid metabolites
is discussed.

Thirty-nine species of marine algae collected from the coast of China were screened for their antitumor activities, and eight species Leathesia difformes, Polysiphonia urcedata, Scytosiphon lomentarius, Gloiopeliis furcata, Punctaria latifolia, Symphyocladia latiuscula, Rhodomela confervoides and Ulva pertusa showed potent cytotoxic activities. Three, Rhodomela confervoides, Scytosiphon lomentarius and Gloiopeliis furcata, were used for further investigation. More than 30 compounds were isolated and purified, and 14 bromophenols, 1 steroid and 1 carotene were identified by advanced spectroscopic methods including IR, MS, and NMR techniques. Amongst the 16 identified compounds, 7 showed vigorously selective activities against KB, Bel7402 and A549 cancer cells, and 6 bromophenols were new compounds. 相似文献

Ectocarpus-like marine brown algae are frequently parasitized by polyhedric DNA viruses. Infected hosts have been studied in unialgal and axenic cultures, and the present state of knowledge is summarized in regard to stage-specific virus expression, discharge and survival time of virus particles, infection mechanism, association with host's nuclear genome, passage of the virus genome through mitosis and meiosis of the host, suppression of symptoms and spontaneous recovery of infected plants, host specificity and intergeneric transmission, vitality of infected plants, pandemic occurrence of virus infections, molecular data on Ectocarpus and Feldmannia viruses, and algal DNA-viruses as potential vectors for gene transfer. A scheme for the nomenclature of brown algal viruses is proposed. 相似文献

Isolation of water-soluble alginate from brown algae 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
Summary Water-soluble alginate was obtained from an aqueous extract of Kjellmaniella crassifolia by precipitation with HCl, calcium acetate or 20% ethanol in the presence of 0.05 M MgCl2 Of these precipitation procedures, MgCl2-ethanol gave the purest alginate preparation as judged by electrophoresis. The thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography of its acid hydrolysate, and the IR spectra analysis of the whole alginate, suggested that the water-soluble alginate is similar to ordinary water-insoluble and alkali-soluble alginate such as Kelco alginate.However, the alginate obtained in the present work contained a great excess of mannuronic acid residues, giving an M:G ratio of about 13. Its molecular weight distribution was rather broad as with Kelco alginate, but the molecular weight of its major component was estimated to be 500 000 amu, whereas that Kelco alginate measured on the same column under the same condition was 1 700 000 amu. This suggests that water-soluble alginate was far smaller in average molecular size than Kelco alginate. 相似文献

Chemical communications play an important role in plants, fungi, and algae. Volatile organic compounds in marine algae are
released into the seawater. These compounds play a role as either pheromones or allelochemicals. We observed that the turbinid
gastropod Lunella coronata coreensis inhabits the intertidal zone and often grazes the green alga Ulva pertusa. Feeding tests and feeding preference studies were performed with green, brown and red algae or by using the powdered freeze-dried
seaweed in agar. The snails fed on U. pertusa preferentially compared to the other marine algae, and recognized chemoreception compounds from the alga but not their structural
or morphological differences. From feeding tests using artificial foods, it is suggested that the feeding attractants are
in the essential oil of the alga U. pertusa. 相似文献

Fatty acid and sterol profiles allowed for clear discrimination betweentheraphidophyte genera Chattonella,Heterosigma, Fibrocapsa andOlisthodiscus, but exhibited little differentiation forindividual Chattonella species(C.marina, C. antiqua and C.subsalsa). Sterol and fatty acid profiles do not support theseparation of Chattonella antiqua and C.marina as distinct species. Ecophenotypic variations in lipidprofiles were also observed between Chattonella strainsfromdifferent geographic locations. Sterol signatures which may be useful aschemotaxonomic markers were: the absence of C27 sterols (cholesteroland 24-dihydrozymosterol) in Heterosigma akashiwo; thepresence of isofucosterol in Chattonella; and theoccurrence of brassicasterol, poriferasterol and fucosterol inOlisthodiscus luteus. High levels of eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA; 17-27% of fatty acids) were present in all raphidophyte species. Lipidcomposition correlated more closely to recent molecular classification ofraphidophytes than carotenoid pigments. 相似文献

The most common perception of unfavorable environmental factors causing the ice-ice disease in the farmed seaweeds, Kappaphycus and Eucheuma, was demonstrated in this study for the first time using stressful conditions of abiotic factors in a continuous culture system. Light intensity of less than 50 mol photon m–2 s–1 and salinity of 20% or less induced ice-ice whitening characterized by short segments at midbranches which were similar to those observed in the Philippine seaweed farms, while temperatures of up to 33–35 °C resulted in wide-scale whitening leading to complete damage of the branches. These effects were preceded by slow growth rates from an optimum of 3.7% d–1 to almost –2.0% d–1. Mechanical stress by wound injury did not result to ice-ice whitening similar to the above. Environmental factors observed to trigger ice-ice in the laboratory, although may not necessarily parallel those in the field, may act synergestically to produce similar effects. 相似文献

Fractionation of the cetrimide salts of the sulfated polysaccharides of Nothogenia fastigiata led to the isolation of a complex galactan sulfate. This product showed compositional and molecular weight heterodispersion together with composition-, temperature-, time-, and conformation-dependent molecular associations. In this sense, the behavior of the galactan sulfate is similar to that of the mannan sulfate previously isolated from the same seaweed.Formerly classified as Chaetangium fastigiatum. 相似文献

Three new triterpenoid saponins, elucidated as 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyloleanolic acid 28-O-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-xylopyranoside (parkioside A, 1), 3-O-[β-d-apifuranosyl-(1→3)-β-d-glucopyranosyl]oleanolic acid 28-O-[β-d-apifuranosyl-(1→3)-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-[α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)]-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)β-d-xylopyranoside (parkioside B, 2) and 3-O-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl-16α-hydroxyprotobassic acid 28-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-xylopyranoside (parkioside C, 3), were isolated from the n-BuOH extract of the root bark of Butyrospermum parkii, along with the known 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyloleanolic acid (androseptoside A). The structures of the isolated compounds were established on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic methods, mainly 1D and 2D NMR data and mass spectrometry. The new compounds were tested for both radical scavenging and cytotoxic activities. Compound 2 showed cytotoxic activity against A375 and T98G cell lines, with IC50 values of 2.74 and 2.93 μM, respectively. Furthermore, it showed an antioxidant activity comparable to that of Trolox or butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), used as controls, against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), oxygen and nitric oxide radicals. 相似文献
