... different organisms, such as bacteria, algae, fungi,echinoderms, molluscs and crustaceans. Conjugated unsaturated aldehydes like 2 E ,4 E- decadienal, 2 E ,4 E- octadienal,5 E ,7 E -9-oxo-nonadienoic acid and 2 E -decenal were active against bacteria and fungi and showed weak algicidal activity. By contrast...

..., indicating that α,β-unsaturation of the molecule,coupled with the aldehyde group, is responsible for the greater biological activity of DD. Since diatoms are an important food source for marine herbivores such as copepods and sea urchins, these findings may help explain why unsaturated aldehydes often induce...
