Objective
Marine organisms are able to biosynthesize original molecules without equivalent in terrestrial sources. The main objective of this project is to discover bioactive substances from
marine organisms of the Mediterranean benthos and to
understand the mechanisms that regulate their biosynthesis.
Bioassays will include pharmaceutical ones, especially
antibiotic, anticancer, antiviral, enzymatic inhibitors, as
well as bioassays in marine models: evaluation of antifouling, antilarval activities, and antibiotic bioassays directed
against ichtyopathogenic strains. The use of bioassays in the exploration of marine organisms is generally conducted taking into account either the pharmacological activity or the
ecological one. In this project we intend to use the two
approaches in order to gain an understanding of the
biosynthesis of the compounds and of the conditions under
which both biosynthesis and the release of the compounds
occur, i.e. stress, pollution, presence of symbionts or
predators, etc.
This project should lead to better knowledge and
non-destructive exploitation of marine organisms. Results
obtained in this project will have to be developed in genetic engineering projects. We expect that bioactive substances will have wide application, especially in medicine, aquaculture,
and antifouling.
