摘要
To study the bioactive metabolites produced by sponge-derived uncultured symbionts, a metagenomic DNA library of the symbionts of sponge Gelliodes gracilis was constructed. The average size of DNA inserts in the library was 20 kb. This library was screened for antibiotic activity using paper disc assaying. Two clones displayed the antibacterial activity against Micrococcus tetragenus. The metabolites of these two clones were analyzed through HPLC. The result showed that their metabolites were quite different from those of the host E. coli DNA and the host containing vector pHZ132. This study may present a new approach to exploring bioactive metabolites of sponge symbionts.
为了学习简历，活跃代谢物由导出海绵的未耕作的共生者生产了，海绵 Gelliodes gracilis 的共生者的一个 metagenomic DNA 图书馆被构造。DNA 的平均尺寸在图书馆插入是 20kb。这个图书馆用纸圆盘 assaying 为抗菌素活动被屏蔽。二克隆对小球菌 tetragenus 显示了抗菌剂活动。这二克隆的代谢物通过 HPLC 被分析。结果证明他们的代谢物与主人 E 的那些相当不同。包含向量 pHZ132 的关口 i DH5 α和主人。这研究可以介绍一条新途径给探索简历海绵共生者的活跃代谢物。
