Total, Free and Conjugated Sterolic Forms in Three Microalgae Extensively Used in Mariculture
Total, free and conjugated forms (steryl esters, sterylglycosides and acyl steryl glycosides) of sterols from three microalgae that are extensively used in mariculture (Tetraselmis chuii, Nannochloropsis salina and Skeletonema costatum) were examined. The results revealed that cholesterol is the only common fraction detected in all investigated species and distributed in free and all conjugated forms. However, the total sterol content of T. chuii
