Bioprospecting Marine Plankton [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2013
The ocean dominates the surface of our planet and plays a major role in regulating the biosphere. For example, the microscopic photosynthetic organisms living within provide 50% of the oxygen we breathe, and much of our food and mineral resources are extracted from the ocean.

Comparison of Near Infrared Spectra of Three Lichen Substances and Several Common Synthetic Organic Sunscreens. [PDF]

J Cosmet Dermatol
ABSTRACT Background Near‐infrared (NIR) and UV radiation have been reported to alter skin physiology, causing oxidative stress, mitochondrial genetic damage, and potentially leading to cancer and photoageing. NIR screening is recommended, but only inorganic sunscreens such as zinc and titanium oxide are known to absorb, reflect, and scatter NIR ...

Bioprospecting keratinous materials

International Journal of Trichology, 2010
The concept of bioprospecting for bioactive peptides from keratin-containing materials such as wool, hair, skin and feathers presents an exciting opportunity for discovery of novel functional food ingredients and nutraceuticals, while value-adding to cheap and plentiful natural sources. The published literature reports multiple examples of proline-rich
