PREDICTING THE EFFECTS OF BROWN ALGAL PHLOROTANNINS ON MARINE HERBIVORES IN TROPICAL AND TEMPERATE OCEANS.
- Authors
Targett, Nancy M.; Arnold, Thomas M.
- Abstract
Focuses on the chemical characteristics, functions, variability and potential cost in both temperate and tropical marine systems of phlorotannins, polyphenolic brown algal secondary metabolites that can function as herbivore deterrents, digestive inhibitors and antibacterial agents. Classes of polyphenolics; Categories of phlorotannins based on the type of structural linkages that result from the polymerization process and on the number of hydroxyl groups.
