Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is isolation and determination of chemical structure of hormonal active compounds found in coral seawater. For that, we concentrated hormonal compounds in the seawaters from shallow coral reef on the cartridge. To isolate and characterize the compounds, HPLC and molecular mass analysis were conducted. The active compounds were detected in only summer time. Amount of active compounds in coral seawater was estimated as 10-100 ng/1000L. Molecular masses of active compounds determined as 447 and 621 Da by molecular mass analysis.
