✦ Synopsis

Various reports deal with the biosynthesis of A5 and A 7 sterols in sea cucumbers. 1 While Numura2 et al --* failed to observe incorporation of acetate-1,2-14 C into sterols of Stichopus japonicus, Goad et a1.3 and Voogt and Over4

-could show that Cucumaria elongata, 5. phnci -3

Holothuria tduJ.osa, and S. regallis can biosynthesize
