Coral Biotecnological Valorization
Corals and their associated bacteria are emerging as a dual-purpose resource in biotechnology. On one hand, the coral offers a rich source for the bioprospecting of novel bioactive compounds; simultaneously, a deeper study of the microbial community associated with the coral is crucial for developing new techniques aimed at enhancing coral resilience and improving the success of reef restoration efforts in the face of climate change.
Marine Natural Products
Marine natural products are a rich source of bioactive compounds with potential applications in medicine, cosmetics, and biotechnology. These compounds, derived from marine organisms offer a promising avenue for the discovery of new drugs, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and other valuable products.
Fish Waste Valorization
Fish waste valorization is an emerging field that seeks to convert discarded fish parts into valuable products such as bioactive peptides, collagen, and fish oil, thereby reducing waste and promoting sustainable aquaculture practices.
