Bioprospecting challenges in unusual environments
The microbial ecology field is burgeoning. Year after year, improved sampling, culturing and bioinformatics tools contribute towards an apparently endless increase in microbial diversity. Massive access to genomic data and the development of single-cell genomic techniques have re-defined the tree of life by resolving many intraand interphylum level relationships and by including dramatic expans...
متن کاملBioprospecting in an African context.
In the beginning, when God created the universe, the earth was formless and desolate. ...Then God commanded, "Let there be light" and light appeared....Then He commanded, "Let the earth produce all kinds of plants, those that bear grain and those that bear fruit"--and it was done. So the earth produced all kinds of plants, and God was pleased with what he saw....Then God commanded, "Let the ear...
متن کاملBioprospecting Marine Plankton
The ocean dominates the surface of our planet and plays a major role in regulating the biosphere. For example, the microscopic photosynthetic organisms living within provide 50% of the oxygen we breathe, and much of our food and mineral resources are extracted from the ocean. In a time of ecological crisis and major changes in our society, it is essential to turn our attention towards the sea t...
متن کاملBioprospecting: a CAM Frontier
With Volume 2 of eCAM, we begin to intensify the inclusion of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)-related natural products derived from plants and from animals (1). There will be an attempt to focus on products from animals, since we know that the literature tends to be ‘glutted’ with products derived from plants (1,2). In either case, both sources of natural products provide a veritab...
متن کاملBioprospecting plant-associated microbiomes.
There is growing demand for new bioactive compounds and biologicals for the pharmaceutical, agro- and food industries. Plant-associated microbes present an attractive and promising source to this end, but are nearly unexploited. Therefore, bioprospecting of plant microbiomes is gaining more and more attention. Due to their highly specialized and co-evolved genetic pool, plant microbiomes host a...
