| Research Abstract |
While long chain polyol compounds have been reported to show various biological activities, their biological functions and roles in symbioses have not been thoroughly investigated. In this project, we aimed to obtain novel long chain polyol compounds from symbiotic microalgae and to understand their structures and functions in symbiotic relationships. As a result, we succeeded to find several novel long chain polyol compounds, such as symbiospirols, and their unique characteristics were identified. We prepared polyclonal anti-bodies against symbiospirol A and tried to detect its localization in the producer organisms by microscopic analyses.
