LEGE-CC in the news (CYANOBESITY project)

Cyanobacterial strains from the Blue Biotechnology and Ecotoxicology Culture Collection (LEGE-CC) will be screened as a source of bioactive compounds with effects on obesity and obesity-related co-morbidities in the CYANOBESITY project, new European CIIMAR project coordinated by Ralph Urbatzka.
