Böcker i Marine Molecular Biotechnology-serien

Sponges (phylum Porifera) are known to be very rich sources for bioactive compounds, mainly secondary metabolites. Main efforts are devoted to cell- and mariculture of sponges to assure a sustainable exploitation of bioactive compounds from biological starting material.

This book describes the discovery of molecules from unexploited extreme marine environments, and presents new approaches in marine genomics.
