Microalgae and Cyanobacteria Strains as Producers of Lipids with Antibacterial ...
Cepas, Virginio; Gutiérrez-Del-Río, Ignacio; López, Yuly; Redondo-Blanco, Saúl; Gabasa, Yaiza; Iglesias, María José; Soengas, RaquelLipids are one of the primary metabolites of microalgae and cyanobacteria, which enrich their utility in the pharmaceutical, feed, cosmetic, and chemistry sectors. This work describes the isolation, structural elucidation, and the antibiotic and antibiofilm activities of diverse lipids produced by different microalgae and cyanobacteria strains from two European collections (ACOI and LEGE-CC). Three microalgae s...
Inhibition of Bacterial and Fungal Biofilm Formation by 675 Extracts from Micro...
Cepas, Virginio; López, Yuly; Gabasa, Yaiza; Martins, Clara B.; Ferreira, Joana D.; Correia, Maria J.; Santos, Lília M. A.; Oliveira, FlávioBacterial biofilms are complex biological systems that are difficult to eradicate at a medical, industrial, or environmental level. Biofilms confer bacteria protection against external factors and antimicrobial treatments. Taking into account that about 80% of human infections are caused by bacterial biofilms, the eradication of these structures is a great priority. Biofilms are resistant to old-generation anti...
