Algae tropical

How do Phytoplankton Cope with Enhanced UV Several investigators have reported the existence in Antarctic algae of UV-absorbing mycosporine amino acids identical to those of tropical and temperate marine species (37). These compounds absorb in the UV-B region of the spectrum and may act as sunscreens which may provide some measure of protection from damaging UV-B. [Pg.201]

Although coral looks like a plant, actually it is mainly comprised of (10) the limestone skeleton of a tiny animal called a coral polyp. While corals are the main components of reef structure, they are not the only living participants. Coralline algae cement the myriad corals, and other miniature organisms such as tube worms and mollusks contribute skeletons to this dense and diverse structure. Together, these (15) living creatures construct many different types of tropical reefs. [Pg.183]

The tropical regions represent the oldest marine habitats, where red and green algae dominate, while brown algae are more abundant toward cold temperate regions. The diversity of marine fauna reaches a maximum in tropical seas, and many hypotheses have been proposed to explain this (Krebs 2001 Willig et al. 2003 ... [Pg.27]

Chlorophyta or green algae comprise one of the major groups of algae and include several exclusively marine orders and genera from tropical regions. Natural products chemistry research has identified more than 300 secondary metabolites from Chlorophyta, with most being sesquiterpenoid and diterpenoid compounds... [Pg.28]
