## Abstract After fertilization the sea urchin sperm nucleus transforms into the male pronucleus which later fuses with the female pronucleus reβestablishing the diploid genome of the embryo. This process requires remodeling of the sperm chromatin structure including the replacement of the sperm hi

Control and y-irradiated sea urchin (Arbacia punctulata) eggs were incubated with H"1eucine. No incorporation of the amino acid into the proteins of most unirradiated eggs was detectable by autoradiography. All irradiated eggs incor-. porated the amino acid and the amount of autoradiographic labelli
## Abstract Decreased glycogen radioactivity was followed as an indicator of glycogen utilization following activation of __Strongylocentrotus purpuratus__ eggs. Within 15 minutes of exposure to sperm or ammonia, egg glycogen radioactivity decreased. The level of radioactivity in control (unfertili
The proliferation of the green marine alga Caulerpa taxifolia in the Mediterranean led us to investigate the toxic effects on marine organisms of caulerpenyne (Cyn), the major secondary metabolite synthesized by the alga. This study was performed on sea urchin eggs (Paracentrotus lividus) and isolat
