BIOPROSP-Bioprospektering 2002 - 2006

Efficient bioprospecting of marine microorganisms

Tildelt: kr 15,4 mill.

Principal objective: Isolate new microbial strains of commercial interest for production of carotenoids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, or antibiotics. Sub-goals 1. Establish a culture collection of microorganisms from the sea surface microlayer collected from sites along the Norwegian coast. The collection will be a valuable national asset, and will be available for later screening for other products by other gro ups or by us. 2. Establish a DNA library of the bacterioneuston from selected sites along the Norwegian coast. Also this library will be available for later screening. 3. Screen the collection and libraries for strains that produce commercially interesting carotenoids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, or antibiotics. 4. Evaluate the industrial potential of selected strains and interesting products.
