Physiological functions of phlorotannins
Biological Communications, 2018 Phlorotannins are the most abundant group of metabolites specific for brown algae. These substances contribute both to the primary and secondary metabolism of the algal cells and have practical relevance as biologically active compounds. The list of their presumable physiological functions is still not exhaustive and includes wound healing, chelation ...

Microwave-Assisted Extraction of Phlorotannins from Fucus vesiculosus [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2020 Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) was carried out to maximize the extraction of phlorotannins from Fucus vesiculosus using a hydroethanolic mixture as a solvent, as an alternative to the conventional method with a hydroacetonic mixture. Optimal MAE conditions were set as ethanol concentration of 57% (v/v), temperature of 75 °C, and time of 5 min ...

A Key Step in Phlorotannin Biosynthesis Revealed [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2013 Phlorotannins are a diverse set of polymers synthesized by brown algae, but their physiological functions are not well understood. They are structurally analogous to terrestrial plant tannins and are proposed to be important in cell wall structure, UV protection, and defense against herbivores ([
