Biogeography and biodiscovery hotspots of macroalgal marine natural products
Abstract
Coverage period: 1965 to 2012
This review covers the literature published for marine natural products isolated from macroalgae and addresses the taxonomic details of source organisms, the chemical types of isolated compounds and the location of sampling sites. The emphasis of this review is on the identification of the most bioprospected taxa and regions, as well as on how these trends have shifted over time.
