27 Sep 2024 --- Research in American Chemical Society Omega suggests molecules produced by bacteria in the guts of red seabream and blackhead seabream can be used in cosmetic products targeting wrinkles and skin-brightening. The scientists from Sungkyunkwan University, led by Hyo-Jong Lee and Chung Sub Kim, identified 22 compounds produced by the fish gut bacteria Ruegeria atlantica and Pseudoalteromonas neustonica.
