海绵共附生微生物的研究新进展

Progress in Studies on Sponge-associated Microorganism

海绵是最原始的一类后生动物,已被作为海洋活性化合物的重要来源之一,其独特的孔状结构使其成为许多海洋微生物的优良宿主。近年来国内对海绵及其共附生微生物的研究主要集中在它们产生的活性物质方面,但对海绵共附生微生物的分布、多样性及其对宿主海绵作用的研究鲜有报道,就国内外研究进展进行了综述。

Sponges are well known to harbor diverse microbes and represent a significant source of bioactive natural compounds derived from the marine environment.These sponge-associated microorganisms are very important to increase amount of sponge.Molecular methods will allow scientists to more accurately identify sponge-associated microorganism species and determine actual diversity of sponge-associated microorganism.Recent studies are focus on bioactive natural compounds of these microorganisms.This review covers sponge-associated microorganism distributing, diversity and their function to the sponge.
