Bioactive egg components and their potential uses

Hen egg plays a crucial role in the development of embryonic bird. It serves first as source of energy and nutriments of high digestibility and, second, protects embryonic bird against external aggressions. The unique structure of egg with yolk containing the embryo surrounded by albumen and shell as physical barriers is the first element of this protection. The second one consists in the pecul...

Seaweed Bioactive Compounds against Pathogens and Microalgae: Potential Uses on Pharmacology and Harmful Algae Bloom Control

Cyanobacteria are found globally due to their adaptation to various environments. The occurrence of cyanobacterial blooms is not a new phenomenon. The bloom-forming and toxin-producing species have been a persistent nuisance all over the world over the last decades. Evidence suggests that this trend might be attributed to a complex interplay of direct and indirect anthropogenic influences. To c...
