Chemical composition and biological activities of the Black Sea algae Polysiphonia denudata (Dillw.) Kutz. and Polysiphonia denudata f. fragilis (Sperk) Woronich.
Abstract
The two investigated algae had almost identical sterol composition, but there were significant differences in the com position of the polar components and especially in the composition of the volatiles. P. denudata f. fragilis extracts possessed a stronger biological activity (antibacterial, antifungal and toxicity against Artemia salina). Despite the minute morphological differences between the two algae, we recommend P. denudata f. fragilis to be regarded as P. denudata subsp. fragilis
