Mycosporine-Like Amino Acids and Marine Toxins - The Common and the Different
Marine microorganisms harbor a multitude of secondary metabolites. Among these are toxins of different chemical classes as well as the UV-protective mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs). The latter form a group of water-soluble, low molecular-weight (generally < 400) compounds composed of either an aminocyclohexenone or an aminocyclohexenimine ring, carrying amino acid or amino alcohol substitue...
متن کاملMycosporine-like amino acids from coral dinoflagellates.
Coral reefs are one of the most important marine ecosystems, providing habitat for approximately a quarter of all marine organisms. Within the foundation of this ecosystem, reef-building corals form mutualistic symbioses with unicellular photosynthetic dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium. Exposure to UV radiation (UVR) (280 to 400 nm) especially when combined with thermal stress has been ...
متن کاملMycosporine-like amino acids in the marine red alga Gracilaria cornea — effects of UV and heat
Ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) were separated from a marine red alga Gracilaria cornea using HPLC. The isolated MAAs were identified as porphyra-334 and/or shinorine by comparing them with various standards. No in vivo induction of MAAs was detected in G. cornea even when the organism was grown for 4–5 days either in the presence of UV-A and UV-B only or in combi...
متن کاملMycosporine-Like Amino Acids: Potential Health and Beauty Ingredients
Human skin is constantly exposed to damaging ultraviolet radiation (UVR), which induces a number of acute and chronic disorders. To reduce the risk of UV-induced skin injury, people apply an additional external protection in the form of cosmetic products containing sunscreens. Nowadays, because of the use of some chemical filters raises a lot of controversies, research focuses on exploring nove...
متن کاملMycosporine-like amino acids are multifunctional molecules in sea hares and their marine community.
Molecules of keystone significance are relatively rare, yet mediate a variety of interactions between organisms. They influence the distribution and abundance of species, the transfer of energy across multiple trophic levels, and thus they play significant roles in structuring ecosystems. Despite their potential importance in facilitating our understanding of ecological systems, only three mole...
