The essentials of Marine Biotechnology
Rotter, Ana; Barbier, Michéle; Bertoni, Francesco; Bones, Atle M.; Cancela, M. Leonor; Carlsson, Jens; Carvalho, Maria F.; Cegłowska, MartaCoastal countries have traditionally relied on the existing marine resources (e.g., fishing, food, transport, recreation, and tourism) as well as tried to support new economic endeavors (ocean energy, desalination for water supply, and seabed mining). Modern societies and lifestyle resulted in an increased demand for dietary diversity, better health and well-being, new biomedicines, natural cosmeceuticals, envi...
A new network for the advancement of marine biotechnology in Europe and beyond
Rotter, Ana; Bacu, Ariola; Barbier, Michèle; Bertoni, Francesco; Bones, Atle M.; Cancela, M. Leonor; Carlsson, Jens; Carvalho, Maria F.Marine organisms produce a vast diversity of metabolites with biological activities useful for humans, e.g., cytotoxic, antioxidant, anti-microbial, insecticidal, herbicidal, anticancer, pro-osteogenic and pro-regenerative, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, cholesterol-lowering, nutritional, photoprotective, horticultural or other beneficial properties. These metabolites could help satisfy the increa...
Phycobiliproteins, nitrogenous compounds and fatty acid contents in field-colle...
E, Varela-Álvarez; Tobin, Paul R.; Guiheneuf, Freddy; FitzGerald, Richard J.; Stengel, Dagmar B.The extensive variation in the biochemical composition of algal species is used as a source of potential bioactive compounds for applications in the agri-food industry and in the field of functional foods. Among these species, Porphyra/Pyropia spp. (nori, laver) are red sea vegetables which provide the foundation for a billion-dollar industry. In this study, we determine the growth and biochemical composition o...
