The Identification of Two Antibacterial Products of the Marine Planktonic Alga Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: The acetone-extractable antibacterial components of have been resolved by paper-chromatography and bioautography. Two pigmented products with similar antibacterial properties were obtained which were tentatively identified from their absorption spectra as chlorophyll derivatives, probably pheophytin a and an atypical chlorophyllide .
