Abstract
The Ocean covers two-third of our planet and has great biological
heterogeneity. Marine organisms like algae, vertebrates, invertebrates,
and microbes are known to provide many natural products with biological
activities as well potent sources of biomaterials for therapeutic,
biomedical, biosensors, and climate stabilization. Over the years, the
field of biosensors have gained huge attention due to their
extraordinary ability in providing early diseases diagnosis and
treatment as well as environmental pollutants. This review focuses on
various biomaterials (Carbohydrtae polymers, proteins, polyacids etc) of
marine origin such as Alginate, Chitin, Chitosan, Fucoidan, Carrageenan,
Chondroitin Sulfate (CS), Hyaluronic acid (HA), Collagen, marine
pigments, marine nanoparticles, Hydroxyapatite (HAp), Biosilica,
lectins, and marine whole cell. Further, it mentions the source of such
marine biomaterials and their promising evolution for the development of
biosensors that are potent to be employed in the biomedical,
environmental science and agricultural sciences domains.
