The growth of the green algaChlorella pyrenoidosa was inhibited by terpene alcohols and the terpene aldehyde citral. The strongest activity was shown by citral. Nerol, geraniol, and citronellol also showed pronounced activity. Strong inhibition was linked to acyclic terpenes containing a primary alcohol or aldehyde function. Inhibition appeared to be taking place through the vapor phase rather than by diffusion through the agar medium from the terpene-treated paper disks used in the system. Inhibition through agar diffusion was shown by certain aged samples of terpene hydrocarbons but not by recently purchased samples.
绿藻小球藻的生长受到萜醇和萜醛橙花醛的抑制。橙花醛的活性最强。香茅醇、香叶醇和香茅醇也表现出明显的活性。强烈的抑制作用与含有伯醇或醛官能团的无环萜烯有关。抑制似乎是通过气相而不是通过扩散通过琼脂介质从系统中使用的萜烯处理的纸盘进行的。通过琼脂扩散的抑制作用是由某些陈化的萜类碳氢化合物样品显示的，但最近购买的样品则没有。
