New Anticancer Drugs from Marine Cyanobacteria
Current Drug Targets, 2012Marine Cyanobacteria have raised growing attention as sources of bioactive "secondary metabolites" that originate from mixed biosynthetic pathways. Some of these molecules exhibit antitumour activities with unique mechanism of action. This mini-review focuses specifically on new molecules that may act as leads for novel drug development.

Formation and diagenesis of modern marine calcified cyanobacteria
Geobiology, 2009AbstractCalcified cyanobacterial microfossils are common in carbonate environments through most of the Phanerozoic, but are absent from the marine rock record over the past 65 Myr. There has been long‐standing debate on the factors controlling the formation and temporal distribution of these fossils, fostered by the lack of a suitable modern analog. We

Marine Cyanobacteria as a Potential Source of Biomass and Chemicals
International Journal of Solar Energy, 1988The mass culture in sea-water of three different cyanobacterial strains isolated from marine and hypersaline environments is described. Biomass yields and efficiencies of light energy conversion are reported both for laboratory and outdoor cultures.

Viral mortality of marine bacteria and cyanobacteria
Nature, 1990DESPITE the importance of cyanobacteria in global primary productivity1and of heterotrophic bacteria in the consumption of organic matter in the sea2, the causes of their mortality, particularly the cyanobacteria, are poorly understood. It is usually assumed that mortality is due to protozoan grazing3,4 rather than to viral infection, probably because ...

Pharmaceutical agents from filamentous marine cyanobacteria
Drug Discovery Today, 2013Filamentous marine cyanobacteria have emerged as an important source of novel lead compounds for drug discovery and development. The majority of these molecules are nitrogen-containing, belonging to the hybrid polyketide-polypeptide structural class. Owing to their specific interactions with cellular targets, several marine cyanobacterial compounds are

Nitrogen-containing metabolites from marine cyanobacteria
2001Publisher Summary Marine cyanobacteria are extraordinarily prolific in their elaboration of complex and bioactive secondary metabolites. The principle biogenetic theme in the natural products chemistry of marine cyanobacteria is the integration of non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) pathways, in a variety of ...

Trophodynamics of Marine Cyanobacteria Blooms
1992Although cyanobacteria blooms can dominate annual production and phytoplankton biomass in some marine regions, little is known on the fate of these large aggregations of autotrophic, surface-dwelling prokaryote populations. The importance of bloom-forming Trichodesmium spp.
