Terrestrial cyanobacteria

Although terrestrial cyanobacteria are well-recognized producers of a wide range of bioactive compounds, marine species have received less attention until recently [159]. One of the most abundant and studied marine cyanobacteria is the pantropic Lyngbya majuscula (Oscillatoriaceae). A prolific producer of metabolites, it has so far yielded more than 110 secondary metabolites including compounds that exhibit antiproliferative, immunosuppressants, antifeedant and molluscidal activities [159,160]. Shallow water varieties of the cyanophyte contain N-substituted amides of 75-methoxytetradec-4E-enoic acid and of 7S-methoxy-9-methylhexa-dec-4 -enoic acid called malyngamides, a sub-class of which contains the 4-methoxy-3-pyrrolin-2-one system [158].

Several other inhibitors of serine protease were isolated from freshwater and terrestrial cyanobacteria, such as the micropeptins (Ishida et ah, 1995,1997 Reshef and Carmeli, 2001 Ploutno, Shoshan, and Carmeli, 2002 Yamaki et ah, 2005), but these fall outside the scope of this work.
