Marine Microalgae as a Source of Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Compounds

PI at Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research (IOLR)

Eilat, Israel

About

We aim to develop sustainable marine microalgae-based platforms for the discovery, characterization and production of bioactive metabolites with antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity.

Our research includes screening marine microalgal strains and extracts, evaluating bioactivity and studying the influence of cultivation conditions on metabolite production. A collaborative project could combine bioactivity-guided fractionation, chemical structure elucidation, mechanistic studies, biosynthetic pathway investigation and scalable production.

Potential applications include environmentally responsible bio-based antimicrobial solutions and novel functional ingredients, subject to appropriate efficacy and safety validation.

We seek natural-product chemists, microbiologists, bioprocess engineers, industrial biotechnology companies and partners experienced in product safety and regulatory assessment.

Proposed role: Scientific partner leading algal biodiversity screening, cultivation optimization and biosynthetic characterization.
