Marine molecules from algae and cyanobacteria : extraction, purification, toxicology and applications /

The marine environment is a rich but underexploited source of commercially interesting natural products with different applications. Several marine organisms, such as seaweeds, microalgae, sponges, cyanobacteria, ascidians, and fungi, are sources of natural valuable molecules. These chemical compoun...
