Zapraszamy na seminarium instytutowe: w poniedziałek 27 października o godz. 14 w sali 102B dr Monika Hejna z Zakładu Fizjologii Bakterii wygłosi seminarium pt. “Functional and bioactive properties of seaweed-derived natural products”.

Abstract:

Antibiotic overuse in animal farming and other industries has led to the alarming rise of antimicrobial resistance, threatening the health of the humans, animals and environment worldwide. This growing issue has driven scientists to search for natural and novel solutions to prevent diseases in livestock without relying on antibiotics. Among potential solutions, seaweeds have emerged as a natural promising alternative. These marine organisms are rich in bioactive compounds, which are known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties. Seaweeds offer thus a multifaceted approach to combat antimicrobial resistance by enhancing animal immunity and promoting gut health. Their use could reduce the need for synthetic drugs in farming systems, which in turn helps curb the spread of drug-resistant bacteria.

The project is carried out under the SONATA 20 grant entitled “Novel Marine-derived Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial Replacement Ingredients: Nutraceuticals as preventative Alternatives in Commercial Animal REaring systems” from the National Science Centre (2024/55/D/NZ9/02509; principal investigator: Dr Monika Hejna).
