| Research Abstract |
Metagenomics is a promising method to obtain useful genes from environmental samples. In order to prove that metagenomics is applicable to produce marine natural products, high quality marine metagenomic library consist of about 100 thousands clones was constructed. More than 300 pigment producing clones were screened from the library and their biosynthetic genes and products were characterized.
