Abstract
The sterol composition of Hymeniacidon sanguinea and Halichondria panicea h om the Black Sea was investigated. Both sponges contain similar mixtures of stanols and of dietary Delta(5)-sterols. Main sterols appeared to be C-27- sterols. which could be connected with a common diet for the both sponges. Saturated short side chain sterols have been found in Hymeiacidon sanguinea . Three of them were novel for sponges. A possibility for the transformatio n of some dietary sterols into stanols is discussed.
