Resumen:
A large-scale screening program was initiated to evaluatela boratory-cultured blue-green algae (cyanobacteria)as a source of novel compounds with inhibitory activityagainst certain serine / threonine protein phosphatases.Over 1600 extracts, representing 816 cyanophyte strainswith broad habitat and taxonomic diversity, were screened.Inhibitors were identifed in extracts produced from allorders tested except Chamaesiphonales, and the familyStigonemataceae was found to contain proportionally moreinhibitors as compared to the total screen.
