Advance in research on anti-radiation active substances from plankton in the Antarctic / 中国海洋药物

ABSTRACT

'Ozone hole' , which cause a great increment of the UV radiation to the earth surface, is a exclusive phenomena over the Antarctic. After living in high UV radiation for a long time , plankton in the Antarctic have produced many anti-radiation active substances. In this article, the properties, configurations, functions, etc. of anti-radiation active substances in algae, bacteria and fungi in the Antarctic wen summarized. At the same time, significative illuminations on the studies and utilization of anti-radiation and anti-tumour active substances are expected.
