Mc. Rho et al., A SULFONOGLYCOLIPID WITH NA-ATPASE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY, PRODUCED BY ACULTURED UNIQUE DIATOM SYMBIOT ISOLATED FROM A LARGER FORAMINIFERA(, K+), Planta medica, 62(6), 1996, pp. 552-554
A unique diatom (Entomoneis sp.) was isolated from a larger foraminife
ra (Marginopora vertebralis) and was successfully mass cultured. 6-Sul
fo-O-alpha-D-quinovopyranosyldiacylglycerol was isolated from this dia
tom as an Na+,K+-ATPase inhibitor.
