The tuft-forming green alga Cladophora glomerata synthesizes a wide variety of toxic fatty acids, including capric and palmitoleic acids, which have been demonstrated to be insecticidal and allelopathic (Dodds and Gudder 1992).

The work conducted by Gustafsson et al. [19] evaluated the particle properties and solid-state characteristics of two different brands of microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH101 and a brand obtained from the alga Cladophora sp.) and related the compaction behavior to the properties of the tablets. The difference in fibril dimension and, thereby, the fibril surface area of the two celluloses were shown to be the primary factor in determining their properties and behavior. 

The first attempt to establish the crystal and molecular structure of CTA I was made by Stipanovic and Sarko, who suggested the occurrence of parallel-arranged cellulosic chains within an orthorhombic unit-cell. Later, the structural analysis of the diffraction pattern from an acetylated material derived from the green alga Cladophora sp. established it as a one-chain unit cell crystallizing in the P2i space group (fl = 5.94 A, = 11.43 A, c = 10.46 A, y = 95.4°, density = 1.375).
