Abstract
The identification of 3,6,7-trihydroxycoumarin in Dasycladus vermicularis (Scopoli) Krasser and [Cympolia barbata (L.) Harvey] of the siphonalean green algal family Dasycladaceae is described. The significance of coumarins in the Dasycladaceae is discussed as a possible 3-fold protective function: epiphytic growth regulation and antimicrobialdefense, antifeedant effect and, in connection with recent findings on plug formation in the siphonalean green algae, rigidification of the plug''s structure.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
