description Desmarestia aculeata Overview
Desmarestia aculeata is a brown alga recorded from the North Atlantic and North Pacific. Its cells store sulfuric acid in vacuoles, an unusual chemical defense that can make the alga strongly acidic when the tissue is damaged. Ruptured cells may bleach or injure other algae collected with it, so the species is notable both for its ecology and for the handling problems created by its chemistry.
