During a study of volatile organic substances in the waters of eutrophic shallow Federsee, ectocarpene and dictyopterenes A and C’ were detected for the first time in a freshwater lake. These substances were found in only one fortnightly sample during the year, indicating that marked short term chemical changes occur in small lakes. The origin of these substances could not be determined, although a common source from one organism seems likely due to their synchronous appearance and biosynthetic relationship.
