Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The work under the title "Phytochemical Analysis and Molecular Identification of Green Macroalge Caulerpa spp. From Bali, Indonesi"a I found an interesting. In the introduction, it was pointed out that the chemical composition of Caulerpa algae, particularly the Bulung Boni and Bulung Anggur species, has not yet been studied. In this context, the authors identified the bioactive compounds in these species and proposed their further use based on their composition. Thus, the main objective of this research is obvious and well elaborated.

The results in tables and figures are well presented, so I have no objection to their presentation. The results are adequately discussed and compared with other works. The conclusion confirms the obtained results and the references inserted in the main document show a good connection between this investigation and other works.

The material and methods, as well as results and discussion part are understandable. The article is good from grammatical and structural point of view, and for my perspective is acceptable for publication in this journal.

Minor errors:
