Growth Inhibition of Freshwater Algae by Ester Compounds Released from Rotted Plants
E-mail:
The amount of usable clean water is decreasing due to urbanization, industrialization, and algal blooming. Therefore, experiments were carried out to determine the growth inhibition of freshwater algae by decomposed material of plants and to identify the inhibitory chemicals. It was found that mugwort was the most effective in inhibiting algal growth. The inhibitory chemicals, released from the rotted plants -mugwort, barley straw, rice straw, and chrysanthemum, were identified as hexanedioic acid, a dioctyl ester and 1,2-benzenedicaboxylic acid, a bis (2-ethylhexyl) ester by GC/MSD. The ester compounds were found to be the major antialgal chemicals, while a phenol compound was identified as a subagent. In the presence of the phenol compound, the ester compounds appeared to have a stronger effect on the algal-growth inhibition, and these compounds were produced as allelochemicals to algal growth.
