Triterpenoids are the most abundant secondary metabolites present in marine organisms, such as marine sponges, sea cucumbers, marine algae and marine-derived fungi. A large number of triterpenoids are known to exhibit cytotoxicity against a variety of tumor cells, as well as anticancer efficacy in preclinical animal models. In this review efforts have been taken to review the structural feature...

Abstract This study aimed to survey algal model organisms, covering phylogenetically representative and ecologically relevant taxa. Reports about the occurrence of sulfonates (particularly sulfoquinovose, taurine, isethionate) in marine algae are scarce, their likely relevance global biogeochemical cycles ecosystem functioning is poorly known. Using both field-collected seaweeds from NW Scotlan...

rocky shores are one of the most important habitats of marine environment in coastal areas. they host marine organisms including seaweeds because of existence of strong and stable substrate for their growths. intertidal rocky shores are a prominent feature on coastal areas of qeshm island located at the northern part of strait of hormuz. in order to study biomass of seaweeds on rocky intertidal...
