| Abstract |
Marine invasive species are widely recognized as one of the worst threats to marine ecosystems integrity, unbalancing native communities, which may lead to paramount ecological and economic impacts. Within invasive seaweeds, Sargassum muticum and Asparagopsis armata are recognized as successful invaders in Europe and America. Despite several attempts to control the spread of marine invaders, until now, all have proven to be elusive, and therefore, alternative strategies should be embraced.Worldwide, seaweeds have been increasingly explored due to their ability to produce bioactive compounds. However, one of the main problems associated with the production/extraction of these bioactive compounds for new products development, is the source availability and the potential negative environmental consequences of this exploitation.Within this framework, the use of invasive species to obtain natural bioactive compounds presents us with a two-folded opportunity - high availability of the biological material for the extraction of unique bioactive compounds for new products development, and through specimen collection, mitigating negative effectscaused by alien species, contributing for ecosystem integrity and sustainability.Over the last decades, the brown seaweed S. muticum and the red A. armata have been studied all over the world for their capacity to produce bioactive compounds, with main results pointing towards their high potential as producers of antioxidant, antifouling, antimicrobial, and antitumor compounds.The present review summarizes the biotechnological potential of S. muticum and A. armata as producers of bioactive compounds, while addressing the potential use of global threats as important blue growth pawns. |
