Apoptogenic Metabolites in Fractions of the Benthic Diatom Cocconeis scutellum parva

Benthic diatoms of the genus Cocconeis contain a specific apoptogenic activity. It triggers a fast destruction of the androgenic gland in the early post-larval life of the marine shrimp Hippolyte inermis, leading to the generation of small females.
