Perinereis cultrifera

The eggs of the marine polychaete, Perinereis cultrifera, contain a lipovitellin with 16% lipid and five peptides (Table 7 Baert et al. 1984). Egg lipoproteins have been isolated from two mollusks (Table 2 scallop, Pecten maximus Table 7 cuttlefish. Sepia officinalis). The percent lipid of the lipoprotein from S. officinalis and P. maximus was 19 and 15%, respectively (Fuji 1960 Zagalsky et al. 1967). The molecular mass of S. officinalis was 2.5 X 10 daltons with phospholipid as the principal lipid.
