A novel bioactive peptide named τ-AnmTx Ueq 12-1 (short name 12-1) was isolated and characterized from the sea anemone Urticina eques. is unique among variety of known peptides in terms its primary spatial structure. It consists 45 amino acids including 10 cysteine residues with an unusual distribution represents a new group peptides. The 3D structure 12-1, determined by NMR spectroscopy, disulfide-stabilized fold partly similar to defensin-like fold. showed dual activity both moderate...
Red king crab and snow have both become important species for the Norwegian seafood industry. Since first commercial harvest of red in 2002 2012, industry has developed new technology knowledge handling these species. This includes fishing gear, conditions live storage processing, by-products, entrance into markets. The total quota increased from 220 metric tons to 2350 2017, with a free-red harvesting zone west quota-regulated area prevent further expansion crab. At present, there is no...
The global problem of microbial resistance to antibiotics has resulted in an urgent need develop new antimicrobial agents. Natural peptides are considered promising candidates for drug development. Echinoderms, which rely on innate immunity factors the defence against harmful microorganisms, sources novel peptides. This study aimed isolate and characterise from Edible sea urchin Echinus esculentus. Using bioassay-guided purification cDNA cloning, three were characterised haemocytes urchin;...
The aquaculture industry produces vast amounts of organic side streams that are often ensilaged for later use in low value applications. However, the potential converting fish silage, particularly proteinaceous fraction, into more economically valuable products such as biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), has not been explored. This study investigates valorisation salmon peptone, fraction obtained from PHA by mixed microbial cultures (MMC) under conditions without nutrient limitation,...
Chitin/chitosan and collagen are two of the most important bioactive compounds with applications in pharmaceutical, veterinary, nutraceutical, cosmetic, biomaterials, other industries. When extracted from fish shellfish non-edible parts, by-catches, invasive species, their use contributes to a more sustainable circular economy. The present article reviews scientific knowledge publication trends along marine chitin/chitosan value-chains assesses how researchers, industry players, end-users...
Bioactive peptides are sequences of amino acids, cut from the parent protein with en-zymes or high pressure processing that can impart a tertiary health benefit to con-sumer goes beyond basic human nutrition. This study explores mesopelagic fish in-cluding Maurolicus muelleri and Benthosema glaciale as sources an-ti-inflammatory, heart beneficial, antioxidant other bioactivities. were generated post-catch using different enzymatic hydrolysis processes ap-plied species caught experimental...
This study generated bioactive hydrolysates using the enzyme Alcalase and autolysis from mesopelagic fish, including Maurolicus muelleri Benthosema glaciale. Generated were investigated for their bioactivities in vitro bioassays, peptides identified mass spectrometry active with cyclooxygenase, dipeptidyl peptidase IV antioxidant activities. In silico analysis was employed to rank peptide sequences terms of overall bioactivity programmes Peptide Ranker, PrepAIP, Umami-MRNN AntiDMPpred. Seven...
The abundance of fish and zooplankton (1 × 10 9 tons to 7 tons) in the mesopelagic zone ocean is a source novel raw materials that provides opportunities for sustainable new product development. peculiar conditions light pressure this ecological position specific organisms marine food chain results diversity their bio-composition. Mesopelagic are an underutilized resource, rich proteins omega-3 oils, present develop feed, functional ingredients products. However, there also need ensure...
EeCentrocin 1 is a potent antimicrobial peptide isolated from the marine sea urchin Echinus esculentus. The has hetero-dimeric structure with activity confined in its largest monomer, heavy chain (HC), encompassing 30 amino acid residues. aim of present study was to develop shorter drug lead using as starting scaffold and perform structure-activity relationship sequence modifications optimize activity. experiments consisted 1) truncation chain, 2) replacement acids unfavourable for vitro...
Currently, society's great challenge is to face climate change and mitigate environmental impacts. This study aims identify the impacts of recovering traditional construction techniques in coastal regions by incorporating oyster shells into mortar achieve objectives blue circular economy. The possible are measured using Life Cycle Assessment. Oyster shell considered as a powder or an aggregate construction, comparison made between mortars produced with percentages substitutions materials...
Farmed lumpfish ( Cyclopterus lumpus ) are used as cleaner fish in Norwegian aquaculture. However, once the reaches sexual maturity, it becomes less effective combating lice and is often wasted or turned into silage. This raises ethical, economic, sustainability concerns regarding whether use sustainable without increasing its standard of living further to higher value products. To improve utilization lumpfish, a study was conducted investigate differences extraction efficiency by comparing...
This review is focused on the research, innovation and technological breakthroughs 16 marine invertebrate collagens their applications. The findings reveal that research dates back to 1970s, after a period of reduced activity, interest in from several groups was renewed around 2008, likely driven by increased commercial these biomolecules origin. R&D predominantly reported China Japan, highlighting significant cnidarians (jellyfish), echinoderms (sea cucumbers, sea urchins starfish),...
In accordance with current sustainable development objectives, it is intended to implement innovative and solutions at economic, environmental, functional levels, boosting the construction sector increasingly contribute society. Expanded cork an alternative sand aggregate in improving thermal insulating properties of renders. addition, other materials can be incorporated as aggregates attempt both improvement physical characteristics that render must fulfil well behaviour (if possible). this...
Abstract The snow crab ( Chionoecetes opilio ), SC, is a newly established species in the Barents Sea. fishery has itself as new and profitable industry Norway last decade. started year-round fishery, without any information of possible seasonal variations quality product. In 2017 total allowable catch was by Norwegian government, fisheries were subsequently closed during summer months. order to optimize fishing times, evaluate this growing Sea, meat content clusters, well co-products...
