Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine lipids have received increasing attention for their chemical diversity, bioactivity, and innovative uses in food, feed, pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, and medical applications. With the analytical portfolio of cutting-edge equipment dedicated to the biomining of marine chemical diversity in general, and lipids in particular, this is a timely opportunity to feature new findings, research trends, and challenges related to marine lipids. From large marine megafauna to microscopic organisms, from specimens occurring in shallow coastal waters to abyssal depths, from warm coral reef waters to the cold environment of the poles, living marine resources of a multitude of shapes and sizes feature unique lipids and pave the way for unique findings on how to best use these remarkable biomolecules. With the ongoing biodiversity crisis and the unprecedented loss of marine biodiversity, it is urgent to continue to unravel the lipidome of the marine realm!
This Special Issue invites articles covering all aspects related to marine lipids, focusing on their use in innovative approaches framed within sustainability and fostering a blue bioeconomy powered by the toolbox of blue biotechnology and AI.
