In this study, researchers from China, Saudi Arabia and South Africa screened microbial species that live in harsh environments for secondary metabolites with anti-cancer activities. Their findings were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that the active compounds produced by microbes in the Red Sea brine pool can potentially serve as novel anti-cancer agents for the treatment of advanced cancers.
