Investigation of the effects of oxybenzone exposure on okadaic acid metabolism and the use of red macroalgae extracts as potential “greener” alternatives to oxybenzone

Aims:

  • To explore the hypothesis that the exposure of D. trunculus to oxybenzone can compromise the metabolism of okadaic acid.

  • To clarify if red macroalgae extracts of Porphyra umbilicalis and Grateloupia sp. can be used as "greener" alternatives to oxybenzone.
