Antimicrobial potential of a hydrolyzed protein extract of the microalgae Nannochloropsis sp

Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms widely used at the industrial level because of their high content of compounds with bioactive properties such as antimicrobial peptides. These compounds have a wide range of action mechanisms, do not produce the resistance of conventional antibiotics and could be effective against bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, and even tumor cells. In this work, by mechanical cell lysis treatment, a protein...
