Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have focused on a taxon, Ktedonobacteria, that shows an actinomycete-like morphology that could be a new beneficial bioresource for the fermentation industry, but few pure culture strains were available, and little is known about their taxonomy and physiology. This study described two new families, three new genera, and 11 new species in this taxon. The genome analysis revealed that they represent a valuable resource of novel secondary metabolites and new enzymes for woody biomass utilization.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年、多剤耐性菌による感染症が拡大する中、創薬資源「放線菌」からの新規抗生物質の創出は急減しており、新たな生物資源の開拓が急務である。クテドノバクテリアが放線菌に匹敵する新資源となり得るとした新しい視点に基づき、本系統の開拓に取り組んできた。本研究により本分類群が飛躍的に拡充され、ゲノム解析により有益資源としてのポテンシャルが示されたことは、我が国の発酵工業を活気づける要因と成り得る成果である。
