Fucophlorethol
Fucophlorethols are a class of chemicals found in certain brown algae. "Fuco" comes from the genus '' Fucus'', but not all brown algae that produce these chemicals belong to that genus. Examples: * Fucophlorethol A * Fucotriphlorethol-G * Fucotriphlorethol-H * Fucotetraphlorethol-J * Fucotetraphlorethol-K * Fucopentaphlorethol-E * Bisfucoheptaphlorethol-A * Difucofucotriphlorethol-A * Difucofucotetraphlorethol-B * Terfucohexaphlorethol-B * Terfucoheptaphlorethol-A * Fucophlorethol-B * Fucodiphlorethol-D * Fucotriphlorethol-B * Fucotetra-phlorethol-B * Bisfucotriphlorethol-A * Bisfucotetraphlorethol-A * Bisfucopentaphlorethol-A * Bisfucopentaphlorethol-B * Difucophlorethol-A * Difucofucotetraphlorethol-A * Terfucopentaphlorethol-A * Terfucohexaphlorethol-A Tannins Brown algae {{organic-compound-stub ...

Brown Algae
Brown algae (singular: alga), comprising the class Phaeophyceae, are a large group of multicellular algae, including many seaweeds located in colder waters within the Northern Hemisphere. Brown algae are the major seaweeds of the temperate and polar regions. They are dominant on rocky shores throughout cooler areas of the world. Most brown algae live in marine environments, where they play an important role both as food and as a potential habitat. For instance, ''Macrocystis'', a kelp of the order Laminariales, may reach in length and forms prominent underwater kelp forests. Kelp forests like these contain a high level of biodiversity. Another example is ''Sargassum'', which creates unique floating mats of seaweed in the tropical waters of the Sargasso Sea that serve as the habitats for many species. Many brown algae, such as members of the order Fucales, commonly grow along rocky seashores. Some members of the class, such as kelps, are used by humans as food. Between 1,500 and ...
