Pharmacological potential of seaweed-associated heterotrophic Firmicutes
Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2022 Abstract Seaweed-associated bacterial symbionts are sources of potential pharmacological properties. The present study resulted in the culture-dependent isolation of bioactive heterotrophs belonging to the bacterial phylum Firmicutes, which were dominated more than 30% of the 127 cultivable isolates, amongst which 23 of them showed ...
