Researchers from the Chemistry department at the University of Almeria are taking part in a project made up of 14 research teams from 9 different countries, which aims to discover natural antibiotics made from micro-algae which may be useful in the treatment of bacteria resistant to antibiotics.
It is a project of the ECOWAL research group from the Pablo de Olavide University in Seville. They use different types of algae to avoid the use highly contaminant products in conventional paper production. The result is a paper with similar characteristics to the one obtained from wood. In addition, these researchers study possible applications […]
The Marine Microalgae Biotechnology Group of the University of Almería has developed a cultivation system that permits increasing the production of dinoflagellates, a type of microalgae with therapeutical properties. It is the first step for their future use in the pharmaceutical industry, as these microalgae have anticarcinogenic and analgesic properties that would be able to […]
