Coral reef microbes reveal a vast chemical library with medical promise
A large Pacific coral survey reconstructed hundreds of microbial genomes, most previously undescribed, and found an unusually rich reservoir of genes linked to natural compounds that could matter for medicine and biotech
Key Takeaways
- Researchers reconstructed 645 microbial genomes from Pacific coral reefs.
- More than 99% of the species had not been genetically described before.
