Selective algicidal action of peptides against harmful algal bloom species.

Recently, harmful algal bloom (HAB), also termed "red tide", has been recognized as a serious problem in marine environments according to climate changes worldwide. Many novel materials or methods to prevent HAB have not yet been employed except for clay dispersion, in which can the result...

Selective algicidal action of peptides against harmful algal bloom species.
