Linking marine biology and biotechnology

Rocky de Nys et al. Curr Opin Biotechnol. 2002 Jun.

Abstract

Studies of biological systems in which there is a direct link between the challenges faced by marine organisms and biotechnologies enable us to rationally search for active natural compounds and other novel biotechnologies. This approach is proving successful in developing new methods for the prevention of marine biofouling and for the identification of new lead compounds for the development of ultraviolet sunscreens.
