Search and Discovery Strategies for Biotechnology: the Paradigm Shift

TL;DR: This review examines the paradigm shift from traditional biology to bioinformatics that is revolutionizing exploitable biology and reinforces the view that innovative microbiology is essential for releasing the potential of microbial diversity for biotechnology penetration throughout industry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marine actinobacteria: new opportunities for natural product search and discovery.

TL;DR: It is argued that in exploring new sources of bioactive natural products the marine environment warrants particular attention, in view of the remarkable diversity of microorganisms and metabolic products.
Journal ArticleDOI

New primers for the class Actinobacteria: application to marine and terrestrial environments.

TL;DR: The proposition that current culture-based techniques drastically underestimate the diversity of Actinobacteria in the environment is reinforced and the need to evaluate taxon-specific primers regularly is highlighted in line with improvements in databases holding 16S rDNA sequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salinispora arenicola gen. nov., sp. nov. and Salinispora tropica sp. nov., obligate marine actinomycetes belonging to the family Micromonosporaceae.

TL;DR: A taxonomic study was carried out to clarify the taxonomy of representatives of a group of marine actinomycetes previously designated MAR 1 and considered to belong to the family Micromonosporaceae, which contains two species recognized using a range of genotypic and phenotypic criteria.
