Metagenomic approaches to natural products from free-living and symbiotic organisms.

چکیده
Bacterial cultivation has been a mainstay of natural products discovery for the past 80 years. However, the majority of bacteria are recalcitrant to culture, providing an untapped source for new natural products. Metagenomic analysis provides an alternative method to directly access the uncultivated genome for natural products research and for the discovery of novel, bioactive substances. Applications of metagenomics to diverse habitats, such as soils and the interior of animals, are described.

Advancing Weed Management Strategies Using Metagenomic Techniques
Global occurrences of herbicide resistant weed populations have increased the demand for development of new herbicides targeting novel mechanisms of action. Metagenomic approaches to natural drug discovery offer potential for isolating weed suppressive compounds from microorganisms. In past research, traditional techniques entailed isolating compounds from living organisms, whereas metagenomic ...
متن کاملMetagenomic Analysis of the Sponge Discodermia Reveals the Production of the Cyanobacterial Natural Product Kasumigamide by ‘Entotheonella’
Sponge metagenomes are a useful platform to mine cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters responsible for production of natural products involved in the sponge-microbe association. Since numerous sponge-derived bioactive metabolites are biosynthesized by the symbiotic bacteria, this strategy may concurrently reveal sponge-symbiont produced compounds. Accordingly, a metagenomic analysis of the Japanes...
متن کاملComparative genomics, transcriptomics, and physiology distinguish symbiotic from free-living <i>Chlorella</i> strains
Most animal–microbe symbiotic interactions must be advantageous to the host and provide nutritional benefits to the endosymbiont. When the host provides nutrients, it can gain the capacity to control the interaction, promote self-growth, and increase its fitness. Chlorella-like green algae engage in symbiotic relationships with certain protozoans, a partnership that significantly impacts the ph...
متن کاملThe role of plant antioxidants in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles
In recent years, the number of reports of nanoparticle production using green methods has increased exponentially. Green methods of nanoparticle production are based on oxidation and reduction reactions in which metal ions are reduced to nanoparticles with the help of compounds in living organisms or their extracts, including antioxidants. The presence of biomolecules, including antioxidants in...
