The search of new antimicrobial agents that will be effective against bacteria in their two stages of life (planktonic and biofilm), is a priority need in the clinical practice. For this reason, this project searches for such bioactive compounds from EU microalgae collections. These compounds will be useful in the treatment of these kinds of infections and will be incorporated in the manufacturing of medical prosthetic devices.
