An acidic algal substance has been isolated and characterized as the sodium salt. Synthetic sodium acrylate possesses chemical and antibacterial properties identical with those of the natural product. This observation identifies the algal substance in the stomach contents of euphausids, the diet of pygoscelid penguins, which inhibits the penguin gastrointestinal microflora.
一种酸性藻类物质已被分离出来,并被鉴定为钠盐。合成丙烯酸钠具有与天然产物相同的化学和抗菌特性。这一观察结果确定了磷虾胃内容物中的藻类物质,而磷虾是阿德利企鹅的食物,这种藻类物质会抑制企鹅胃肠道的微生物群落。
