Antialgal, antibacterial and antifungal activity of two metabolites produced and excreted by cyanobacteria during growth
Open accessAbstract
The antimicrobial activity of two cyanobacterial exometabolites, norharmane (9H-pyrido(3,4-b)indole) and 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl, was determined in suspension assays. Good anticyanobacterial activities (concentrations of 8-80 microg ml(-1)) and moderate antibacterial (16-160 microg ml(-1)) and antifungal (32-40 microg ml(-1)) activities were found for both compounds. The natural function as allelopathic chemicals and a possible applicability as antifouling agents or leads for the development of new antifouling chemicals are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
