The seagrass phyllosphere consists of a dynamic mosaic of physico-chemical
microgradients that modulate light harvesting, gas and nutrient exchange between the …

Fungi have major, negative socioeconomic impacts, but control with bioactive agents is
increasingly restricted, while resistance is growing. Here, we describe an alternative fungal …

This review explores the natural products of seagrass that are to be exploited for their
bioactive potential. Beside from portraying the presence of a wide array of secondary …
