• Bioactivity Screening of Microalgae for Antioxidant, Anti-Inflammatory, Anticancer, Anti-Diabetes, and Antibacterial Activities 

      Lauritano, Chiara; Andersen, Jeanette hammer; Hansen, Espen; Albrigtsen, Marte; Escalera, Laura; Esposito, Francesco; Helland, Kirsti; Østnes Hanssen, Kine; Romano, Giovanna; Ianora, Adrianna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-10)
      Marine microalgae are considered a potentially new and valuable source of biologically active molecules for applications in the food industry as well as in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic sectors. They can be easily cultured, have short generation times and enable an environmentally-friendly approach to drug discovery by overcoming problems associated with the over-utilization ...
    • Biomaterials and Bioactive Natural Products from Marine Invertebrates: From Basic Research to Innovative Applications 

      Romano, Giovanna; Almeida, Mariana; Coelho, Ana Varela; Cutignano, Adele; Goncalves, Lous G; Hansen, Espen Holst; Khnykin, Denis; Mass, Tali; Ramšak, Andreja; Rocha, Miguel S.; Silva, Tiago H.; Sugni, Michela; Ballarin, Loriano; Genevière, Anne-Marie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-22)
      Aquatic invertebrates are a major source of biomaterials and bioactive natural products that can find applications as pharmaceutics, nutraceutics, cosmetics, antibiotics, antifouling products and biomaterials. Symbiotic microorganisms are often the real producers of many secondary metabolites initially isolated from marine invertebrates; however, a certain number of them are actually synthesized by ...
    • Determination of Lipid Hydroperoxides in Marine Diatoms by the FOX2 Assay 

      Orefice, Ida; Gerecht, Andrea Cornelia; d'Ippolito, G; Fontana, Angelo; Ianora, Adrianna; Romano, Giovanna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-11)
      Ecologically-relevant marine diatoms produce a plethora of bioactive oxylipins deriving from fatty acid oxidation, including aldehydes, hydroxy-fatty acids, epoxy-hydroxy-fatty acids, and oxo-acids. These secondary metabolites have been related to the negative effect of diatoms on copepod reproduction, causing low hatching success and teratogenesis in the offspring during periods of intense diatom ...
