Abstract

Abstract We present a survey of projects that have been funded by FAPESP under the BIOTA-Microorganisms program. These projects generated a wide variety of results, including the identification of novel antibacterial-producing microorganisms, the characterization of novel microbial enzymes for industrial applications, taxonomic classification of novel microorganisms in several environments, investigation of the soil and mangrove microbial ecosystems and its influence on endangered plant species, and the sequencing of novel metagenome-assembled genomes. The results surveyed demonstrate the importance of microorganisms in environments that play important roles in human activities as well as the potential that many of these microorganisms have in contributing to biotechnological applications crucial for human survival in the 21st century.

微生物:生物圈的秘密特工及其在生物技术中的关键作用

摘要:我们提出了一项由FAPESP在biota微生物计划下资助的项目调查。这些项目产生了各种各样的结果，包括鉴定新的抗菌产生微生物，工业应用的新型微生物酶的特性，几种环境中新型微生物的分类分类，土壤和红树林微生物生态系统及其对濒危植物物种的影响的调查，以及新的宏基因组组装基因组的测序。调查结果显示了微生物在人类活动中发挥重要作用的环境中的重要性，以及许多微生物在促进21世纪人类生存至关重要的生物技术应用方面的潜力。
