Abstract
Objective: The molecular species of membrane lipids of the sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana and the molecular species of glycolipids of its symbionts were studied. Methods: Lipidomic analysis was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection. Results and Discussion: A total of 82 molecular species of E. diaphana glycerophospholipids were identified, the main ones being 16:0/22:6 cholineglycerophospholipid (PC), 18:1e/20:4 and 18:1e/20:5 ethanolaminglycerophospholipids (PE), 18:0/22:4 serineglycerophospholipid (PS), 18:0/22:4 inositolglycerophospholipid (PI), and 18:2b/16:0 ceramidaminoethylphosphonate (CAEP). Thirty-six molecular species of glycolipids were identified in symbionts. The main molecular species were 18:4/18:5 monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG), 18:3/18:5 and 18:4/18:4 digalactosyldiacylglycerols (DGDG), and 14:0/16:0 sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG). Molecular genetic analysis revealed that all E. diaphana colonies contained the following dinoflagellates: Breviolum minutum, Cladocopium thermophilum, and Gerakladium endoclionum. Conclusions: The profile of lipid molecular species of the coral host can act as a chemotaxonomic feature, and galactolipids of symbionts indicate resistance to changes in seawater temperature. This study contributes to the development of lipidomics of marine organisms of the phylum Cnidaria.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry publishes reviews and original experimental and theoretical studies on the structure, function, structure–activity relationships, and synthesis of biopolymers, such as proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, mixed biopolymers, and their complexes, and low-molecular-weight biologically active compounds (peptides, sugars, lipids, antibiotics, etc.). The journal also covers selected aspects of neuro- and immunochemistry, biotechnology, and ecology.
