Euskal estuarioetako sedimentuetako mikroorganismo harizpidunen aniztasuna: Genomen analisia ikuspuntu bioteknologikotik

Abstract

Marine environments are rich in microbial diversity. Marine microbes have developed genomic resources to adapt to stress conditions, such as high salt concentrations and nutrient scarcity, or to degrade complex polymeric substrates. These features make marine microbes a very valuable resource in the field of biotechnology. In this study, filamentous microbes from sediments of Basque estuaries where isolated and phenotypically characterized based on the capacity to degrade complex polysaccharides or/and secrete pigments to the culture medium. Thus, in this study the genomes of three isolates of interest are reported for the first time and their CAZymes well as secondary metabolite gene cluster analyses suggest that they could be used as a source of novel enzymatic activities and secondary metabolites.
