| Research Abstract |
It has been disclosed that most of the marine secondary metabolites originate from the symbiotic microbes. In this research project, we focused on an unique marine metabolite, calyculin A from a marine sponge Discodermia calyx, and tried to separate and identify the calyculin A producing microbe. We have succeeded to obtain the fraction with concentrated microbes thought to produce calyculin A and extraction of genomic DNA from this assembly of the concentrated microbes. The metagenomic DNA sequencing analysis of the extracted genomic DNA and the following DNA mapping allowed us to identify the major microbe constituents and 13 contigs of PKS gene clusters.
