Objective
Studies on microalgae and their biological activities revealed the metabolism of innovating molecules, such as fungicide, bactericide, antiviral and antitumoral substrances, highly promising in medical and pharmacological fields: Related to this potential, our project consists of an experimental research on our microalgae collection (about 50 species) in order to determine: 1) their capacity of molecular biosynthesis of active substances according to the properties which are investigated 2) the metabolite composition and their action fields with biological tests and/or molecular biology methods 3) and to establish methodologies of extraction and purification of these substances. This is the first step towards a future industrial production by our company, to choose microalgae and to select innovating molecules with pharmacological and cosmetic applications.
