Phlorotannins are polymers of phloroglucinol that are specific phenolic compounds of brown algae (Phaeophyceae). These metabolites present antioxidant activities and are potentially involved in the formation of cell-walls but their biosynthetic pathway is currently uncharacterized. The genome annotation of the brown algae Ectocarpus provided some information about conserved genes which are implicated in the synthesis of phenolics in terrestrial plants. One polyketide synthase of type III (PKSIII) has been successfully characterized: it produces phloroglucinol. The search for other targets has been pursued in brown algae focusing mainly on chalcone isomerase-like (CHI-like) genes, as well as on phenol-sulfotransferases, which are implicated ...
