Antifouling Compounds from Marine Macroalgae
Marine macroalgae produce a wide variety of biologically-active metabolites that have been developed into commercial products, such as antibiotics, immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, cytotoxic agents, and cosmetic products. Many marine algae remain clean over longer periods of time, suggesting their strong antifouling potential. Isolation of biogenic compounds and the determination of their ...
متن کاملInhibition of biofouling by marine microorganisms and their metabolites.
Development of microbial biofilms and the recruitment of propagules on the surfaces of man-made structures in the marine environment cause serious problems for the navies and for marine industries around the world. Current antifouling technology is based on the application of toxic substances that can be harmful to the natural environment. For this reason and the global ban of tributyl tin (TBT...
متن کاملAquaculture of "non-food organisms" for natural substance production.
Marine invertebrates are already sources of commercially important secondary metabolites and may become even more so as knowledge on marine natural products and chemical ecology develops. Among the producers of these compounds predominantly sponges, bryozoa and molluscs have received the attention of academic and industrial research and development. For all these invertebrate groups culture tec...
متن کاملReview Paper-marine Microbial Bioactive Compounds
Oceans have borne most of the biological activities on our planet. A number of biologically active compounds with varying degrees of action, such as anti-tumor, anti-cancer, anti-microtubule, anti-proliferative, cytotoxic, photo protective, as well as antibiotic and antifouling properties, have been isolated to date from marine sources. The marine environment also represents a largely unexplore...
متن کاملPotent antifouling compounds produced by marine Streptomyces.
Biofouling causes huge economic loss and a recent global ban on organotin compounds as antifouling agents has increased the need for safe and effective antifouling compounds. Five structurally similar compounds were isolated from the crude extract of a marine Streptomyces strain obtained from deep-sea sediments. Antifouling activities of these five compounds and four other structurally-related ...
