Isolation of turbinaric acid as a chemomarker of Turbinaria conoides (J. Agardh) Kützing from South Pacific Islands

“…Chemotaxonomic studies in Phaeophyceae had previously been successful in two main families (Bourgougnon and Stiger‐Pouvreau ): the Dictyotaceae, especially for the genus Dictyota (e.g., Teixeira et al. , Vallim et al.…”

Effects of temperature on total phenolic compounds inCystoseira amentacea(C. Agardh) Bory (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) from southern Mediterranean Sea

“…Targett & Arnold 1998Zubia 2003;Amsler & Fairhead 2006;Jormalainen & Honkanen 2008;Bourgougnon & Stiger-Pouvreau 2011). They can be divided into soluble tannins, present in the cytoplasm or within cell organelles, and insoluble tannins, that are bound to the cell wall and are probably involved in cell-wall hardening (Schoenwaelder & Wiencke 2000;Koivikko et al 2005).…”

Phenology, TPC and size-fractioning phenolics variability in temperate Sargassaceae (Phaeophyceae, Fucales) from Western Brittany: Native versus introduced species

“…Polyphenolic compounds have various putative roles Bourgougnon and Stiger-Pouvreau, 2011 for a review) including defence against grazers (e.g. Fairhead et al, 2006;Svensson et al, 2007) or epiphytes (e.g.…”
