<br/><br/> "[Fred] Rainey was not prospecting for oil. A microbiologist at Louisiana State University, he was on the trail of an unlikely quarry: slime. In particular, he sought algae, sponges, sea urchins, soft corals and other squishy, mostly immobile organisms that have attached to the oil platforms' undersides in tangled mats up to a foot and a half thick. Scientists believe that from such lowly marine creatures a number of medications may one day be derived." (SMITHSONIAN) This article discusses scientists' search for medicines derived from marine life.
