Study Notes
Bioprospecting and Its Future
- Oceans have distinctive ecosystems with a range of adverse environmental factors, generating a substantial pool of genetic variety.
- This genetic variety raises the possibility that the organisms will possess specific coding sequences that allow them to survive challenging environments.
Bioprospecting in Marine Aquaculture
- Bioprospecting is a systemic search for useful products, offering a chance to use biological resources for the good of humanity.
- Plankton bioprospecting has drawn particular attention due to its benefits, including reducing time and money, and improving results.
Definition of Bioprospecting
- Bioprospecting is the systematic search for new biological activity and products with biotechnological uses in naturally occurring environments.
Definition of Marine Bioprospecting
- Marine bioprospecting is the methodical search for marine species in water bodies, along coastlines, and in fjords, on the seabed, or in oil reserves below the seabed.
- Marine bioprospecting includes various species, such as bacteria, fungus, viruses, fish, shellfish, and sea plants.
- The field of marine bioprospecting investigates novel sources of chemical substances, genes, microorganisms, and other useful items from the water.
Challenges in Marine Bioprospecting
- Lack of bioinformatics research
- Difficulties of massive production and product purification
- Production variability
- Preserving cost-efficiency
