Synopsis

This exhaustive listing of almost all marine natural products known to date adopts a unique approach in its classification of the compounds by biological species. It also provides background information on the respective species, based on the biological classification of the organisms from which these compounds are derived. The treatise covers more than 8,700 formula, 14,000 references, and 650 websites on almost 1700 pages.

From the contents:
∗ General and Bibliographic Resources
∗ Archaea (Archaebacteria) and Eubacteria
∗ Photosynthetic Eucaryotes
∗ Fungi and other non–photosynthetic unicellular eucaryotes
∗ Diploblastic animals
∗ Protostomes
∗ Deuterostomes
Indispensable for marine biologists and chemists exploring natural products, as well as for the pharmaceutical and food industries and the agribusiness.

About this title

Review:

Kornprobst s Encyclopedia of Marine Natural Products is a specialist read for those studying or working in scientific fields involving the discovery, analysis or use of marine natural products. As such it is appropriate for the academic or specialist library and at £470 is a quality resource and in the right collection will be a valued and unique reference work .   (Reference Reviews Journal, 2011)

"Jean–Michel Kornprobst has now compiled a comprehensive encyclopedia of marine natural products that fills three volumes with densely packed information. It is remarkable that he has covered all aspects in which natural products became important in the scientific literature but still manages to assemble very well organized and readable chapters." (ChemBioChem, January 2011)

From the Back Cover:

Now in its second edition and further expanded by 15%, this encyclopedic work is one of the largest resources on marine natural products. It contains an exhaustive and systematic listing of more than 9,000 formulae and 10,000 references with around 650 relevant websites. The unique approach of classifying the compounds by biological species together with their background information makes this particularly useful for marine biologists, and contributed significantly to the overwhelming success of the previous edition.

The digital version (ISBN 978–3–527–33585–5) now features a completely cross–linked library of compounds for easy access to related substances, making it even more useful for biologists, chemists and pharmacologists alike.
