About: Chlorodesmis

An Entity of Type: plant, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Chlorodesmis is a genus of green algae in the family Udoteaceae. Algae in this genus produce the toxic diterpene chlorodesmin to defend themselves against generalist herbivores This toxin also kills certain corals that touch the alga. Certain fish like the green coral goby that live in the corals eat the alga to enhance their own toxicity. Other coral dwelling fish like actively trim the alga even though they don't eat it.

dbo:abstract
  • Chlorodesmis és un gènere d'algues verdes de la família . Les algues d'aquest gènere produeixen diterpens tòxics per a defensar-se dels herbívors en general. Aquesta toxina també pot matar alguns coralls que arribin a tocar l'alga. Alguns peixos com ara Gobiodon histrio, que viu entre coralls, mengen l'alga per a millorar el seu propi verí. Alguns peixos com ara Paragobiodon echinocephalus poden l'alga tot i que no se l'arriben a menjar. (ca)
