Description
Chemical analysis of large number of specimens of the sponge Xestospongia muta have revealed the existence of three distinct sterol chemotypes. Since sponges are well known to contain a diverse array of all classes of lipids, the utility of fatty acid composition as a chemotaxonomic tool for Xestospongia muta has been addressed. Further the biosynthetic capabilities of the three chemotypes are being evaluated for possible taxonomic use. Further the utility of TLC and NMR as additional taxonomic tools has also been evaluated.
