The antimicrobial capabilities of marine fungi from sponges and brown algae
Author(s): Amen Illahi*
The marine benthic green and brown macroalgae of Rodrigues are recorded, and 18 of the 60 taxa of Chlorophyta
(53 species) and 18 species of Phaeophyceae are illustrated. These algae were collected on an expedition in
October 2001. On the island, 50 taxa of green and 12 taxa of brown algae have been added to the current species
list. Smaller epiphytic species and turf algae are not or are very sometimes included in this study. Bibliographic,
biogeographic, taxonomic, and nomenclatural remarks are included for each entry in the list. There are also
infrageneric identifying keys. A novel hybrid of Caulerpa mexicana variety a new Udotea species has been
discovered, and exposita is suggested (Brenelli LB et al., 2019).
When compared to the neighbouring island of Mauritius, Rodrigues' algal flora looks to be rather low, while
having a typical Indian Ocean compo.. View More»
