synthesize a wide range of practically valuable enzymes (cold-active galactosidase, agarase, alginate lyase, fucoidase, chitinase, etc.), surface-active glyco-and lipopeptides with emulsifying, antimicrobial and antiadhesive activity, as well as secondary metabolites with diverse biological activity (antimicrobial, antitumor, cytotoxic). However, the use of marine producers in biotechnological processes is constrained by their low synthesizing capacity and high costs of biosynthesis (complex nutrient media and expensive carbohydrate substrates). In biotechnology, marine microorganisms can be used as sources of genes encoding the synthesis of new biologically active substances with unique properties, including antimicrobial and antitumor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
