Development of a rapid 'mollusc foot adherence bioassay' for detecting potent antifouling bioactive compounds

摘要

Developing potent antifouling compounds fromudmarine organisms has several R&D applications. Theud'foot stimulating bioassay' for assessing the antifoulingudactivity suffers interference with the reflex systemudof test organisms. The assay was modified with a new,udrapid 'mollusc foot adherence technique' in order toudmeasure the activities of potent marine natural productsud(MNPs)
