Sterols in microorganisms (2002, background): “…for biotechnological or nutritional purposes is in its infancy apart from the use of sterol-containing microalgae as natural feedstocks in aquaculture (Barclay and Zeller 1996; Soudant et al. 1996) for crustaceans and some molluscs that lack de novo sterol-synthesizing ability (Kanazawa 2001).”
Paleophysiology and End-Permian Mass Extinction (2007, background): “Moreover, invertebrate animals in many different phyla lack the physiological capacity to synthesize sterols from low molecular weight precursors [87] and therefore rely on dietary sterols produced by algae.”
Effect of sexual maturation on the tissue biochemical composition of Octopus vulgaris and O. defilippi (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) (2004, background): “However, it is known that cholesterol is an important precursor of steroid hormones, moulting hormones, bile salts and vitamin D ( Kanazawa 2001 ).”
