中国海洋微生物多样性研究

海洋占地球表面积的71%,蕴藏着丰富的、最具优势和特色的海洋微生物资源。多样性研究是挖掘和利用海洋微生物资源的关键。关注海洋微生物的物种多样性和遗传多样性,发现功能多样的新颖代谢产物,揭示海洋微生物的关键次生代谢过程和主要调控机制,开发生物合成新技术,是发现创新药物和开发特色功能产品的重要基础。本文对中国海洋环境微生物的物种、遗传、化学和代谢多样性4个方面的研究进展进行了综述。

The Study of Diversities of Marine Microbes in China

The Oceans account for 71% of the Earth’s surface and are rich in the most advantageous and characteristic resources of marine microbes.The research on diversity is the key point for exploring and exploiting marine microbial resources.Giving attention to species diversity and genetic diversity of marine microbes,discovering novel metabolites with multiple functions,revealing key secondary metabolic process and the main regulation mechanisms in marine microbes,and developing a new technology of biosynthesis,are the important foundation for discovering innovative drugs and developing functional products with characteristics.The present paper has reviewed the recent advances in the four research areas of marine microbial species diversity,genetic diversity,chemical diversity and metabolic diversity in China.
