Alpha-Glyceryl Ethers in Coelenterates
Marsh ME and Ciereszko LS. 1973. Alpha-Glyceryl Ethers in Coelenterates. Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science. 53:53-56
The nonsaponifiable lipids were isolated from a number of marine coelenterates. The nonsaponifiable fraction ranged from 3.6% of the total lipids in the coral Porites porites to 26% in the gorgonian Pseudoplexaura acerosa. The a-glyceryl ether content, determined by periodate oxidation, ranged from 7% of the nonsaponifiable matter in the sea anemone Metridittm senile to 38% in the alcyonacean Nepthea.
