我们已经评估了次级代谢物的化学新鲜变质的珊瑚虫，有和没有虫黄嘌呤，使用非常敏感的电喷雾和傅立叶变换质谱。以具有相同遗传背景的软珊瑚Lobophytum compactum的珊瑚幼虫为材料，接种不同分类和地理来源的虫黄藻，对其萜类化合物进行化学分析。在所有治疗组的个体中，包括非共生对照水螅中的isolobophytolide的鉴定表明，萜烯生产的控制在于宿主珊瑚，而不是它们的共生藻类。
We have assessed the secondary-metabolite chemistry of freshly metamorphosed coral polyps, with and without zooxanthellae, using extremely sensitive electro-spray and Fourier-transform mass spectrometry. Coral larvae of the soft coral Lobophytum compactum of the same genetic background were reared, then inoculated with zooxanthellar strains of different taxonomic and geographic origin, and their terpenoid chemistry analysed. The identification of isolobophytolide in individuals of all treatment groups, including aposymbiotic control polyps, demonstrates that control of terpene production lies with the host coral and not their symbiotic algae.
