APPLICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL GENOME RESOURCES AND THE SINGLE CELL BASED TECHNOLOGY
Covering nearly 70％ of the earths surface, the ocean has been regarded as a treasure box that has yet to be explored and exploited. Marine microorganisms in particular, are highly diverse and harbor important and novel enzymes that are indispensable to pharmaceutics and industry. Thus, the isolation and cultivation of the microorganisms that harbor these enzymes would be of great advantage. Nevertheless, isolation of these highly useful microorganisms are hampered by the fact that>99％ of marine microorganisms identified to date are uncultivable. In order to attain these enzymes, techniques targeting the genes encoding them, such as metagenomic approaches, have been introduced.
