海洋微生物：开发海洋药物的重要资源

作者以自己的研究成果并结合文献阐明海洋是新种属的和特殊生态系统的微生物的聚集地。海洋环境是新型的生物活性物质的源泉,其中有许多是在陆栖微生物中未曾见到的。毫无疑问,海洋微生物资源在二十一世纪的新药开发研究中将起着重要的作用。

MARINE MICROORGANISMS AS IMPORTANT RESOURCES OF NEW DRUGS

This paper summarizes the literature and gives examples to try and illustrate that the seas are important habitat of new species of microorganisms and ex-tremophiles; the marine environment is a rich source of novel bioactive natutal products, many of which have not been found in terrestrial sources. Undoubtfully ,the resources of marine microorganisms are likely to play an important role in the discovery of new drugs in the 21st century.
