Bioprospecting of Marine Macrophytes Using MS-Based Lipidomics as a New Approach
Marine Drugs, 2016 The marine environment supports a remarkable diversity of organisms which are a potential source of natural products with biological activities. These organisms include a wide variety of marine plants (from micro- to macrophytes), which have been used in
