Although Marine Biotechnology already has delivered products for medicine, food, bioenergy, nanomaterials, and bioremediation, less than 5% of our vast oceanic environment has been explored. Marine Biotechnology is a scientifically and economically expanding enterprise that is poised to harness the enormous but uncharted functional diversity of marine life, with its novel and rich array biodesigns and biosynthetic capabilities. From this pursuit comes new genes, chemicals, materials and inspirations for the benefit of industry, nutrition, medicine and the sustainable use and management of the world’s oceans. This Special Issue in Marine Drugs highlights the cutting-edge developments in Marine Biotechnology with a collection of papers written by authors who are leading experts in the field including selected papers from the 10th International Marine Biotechnology Conference (IMBC-2013), the premier meeting in marine biotechnology under the auspices of the International Marine Biotechnology Association.Advances and new perspectives in marine biotechnology ;volume 1.Marine biotechnologyMarine animalsMarine microbiologyResearchBiomedical materialsDrug DiscoveryElectronic books.Marine biotechnology.Marine animals.Marine microbiologyResearch.Biomedical materials.Drug Discovery.591.77Long Paul F.Degnan BernieRampelotto Pabulo H.UkMaJRUBOOK9910131416303321Advances and new perspectives in marine biotechnology1939484UNINA
