Project description

The overall goal of this project concerns the isolation, identification and functional characterization of secondary metabolites of diatoms and their role as quorum sensing systems and as antimicrobial/quorum sensing disrupting chemicals. Methods for the bioassay guided isolation, purification, structure elucidation and synthesis of bioactive compounds produced by diatoms will be developed.
