Dinoflagellate sterols I: Sterol c omposition of the dinoflagellates of Gonyaulax species

M Alam et al. Steroids. 1979 Feb.

Abstract

The sterol composition of five species of dinoflagellates of the family Gonyaulacaeae (Div. Pyrrhophyta) were examined. All the five species (Gonyaulax acatenella, G. tamarensis, G. catennela, G. washing-tonesis, and G. polyedra) were found to contain 4 alpha-23,24(R)-trimethyl-5 alpha-cholest-22-en-3 -ol (dinosterol) and cholesterol as major sterols.
