Roland Ulber ist Herausgeber eines Sonderbandes zum Thema "Bioactive Compounds from Brown Algae" in Marine Drugs. Dr. Ahmed Zayed hat diese Arbeit maßgeblich mit unterstützt.

Brown algae comprise approx. 2040 species grown in various climatic conditions. They represent a reservoir of various bioactive compounds, including fucoidan, alginate, phlorotannins, and fucoxanthins. In the special volume “Bioactive Compounds from Brown Algae”, current developments in this exciting field are highlighted by leading scientists. In addition to seven research articles, three review articles summarize current developments, particularly in the field of pharmacological agents. The contributions to the book illustrate, once again, that biological active molecules from marine organisms have a wide range of applications for human health. Of course, great efforts are required to make these substances available in with the necessary purity and quantity. Macroalgae, in particular, present us with major challenges here. However, the examples shown in this special volume encourage us to expect many more active ingredients from marine resources in the future.
