Enzymes from mollusk-associated bacteria in Ambon waters of Wallacea: Prospective cosmetic applications.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Marine mollusks serve as hosts for symbiotic bacteria capable of producing secondary metabolites with significant biotechnological potential, including those used in the cosmetic industry. The rich aquatic biodiversity of Ambon, located within the Wallacea region, presents a unique opportunity to explore marine microbes with distinctive metabolite profiles. However, research exploring mollusk symbiont bacteria from Ambon for cosmetic-related bioactive metabolites remains scarce. The valuable metabolite-producing potential of these compounds highlights the importance of further investigating their biological activities and metabolite profiles for prospective cosmetic applications. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the mollusk-associated bacteria for antibacterial and enzymatic activities, identify the bacterial strains, and analyze their secondary metabolites using GC-MS to support the development of active cosmetic ingredients. Methods: As many as 6 mollusks were selectively collected from Sopapey waters, Ambon region, and bacterial isolates were obtained using standard culturing techniques. Antibacterial activity was evaluated against Results: Three isolates exhibited inhibitory activity, with SPG241 showing the strongest inhibition zone, 4.80 ± 0.57 mm (24 hours) and 2.75 ± 0.49 mm (48 hours) against Conclusion: The findings confirm that mollusk symbiont bacteria from Sopapey water, particularly within the Wallacea region, are a promising source of secondary metabolites for natural-based cosmetic products, reinforcing the region's importance as a promising frontier for the discovery of innovative marine bioactive compounds.
