| Abstract: | The Cuban marine flora and fauna is characterized by its richness in species that represents an
extraordinary natural source of unexplored biomolecular diversity. Many of those biomolecules
could represent important tools for industrial applications. For this reason, in our Centre the
main aim was focused on the isolation, purification and characterization of bioactive compounds
present in marine invertebrates with particular emphasis on sponges, cnidarians, seaweeds and
marine plants. Micro organisms represent also an important source of biologically active
compounds that were included in our studies. In our Institution, research is performed by a
multidisciplinary team. The purpose of this article is to review the most important results of the Centre of Marine Bioproducts in the last few years. |
