Aspirin, penicilin, morphine, taxol Natural products are also of great importance as research biochemicals, useful for elucidating normal cellular processes as well as those present in pathological states. many of the essential tools of pharmacologists studying drug action are natural products, and these have had important roles in identifying novel targets for treating human disease.
By expanding the base of researchers investigating deep vents, the aim is to provide added support for studying these ecosystems and while also heightening awareness about the value of these regions and the need for their protections. The aim was to provide broad overviews of the research interests of each group and identify areas where these interests could possibly be combined to form new collaborative projects that would enhance the project portfolio of each group and open up new avenues for funding Capitalizes on relationship with scientists at OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center associated with the NOAA/PMELVents Program linkage to work with deep sea samples
Also Gain insight into role as signaling molecules in symbiosis and chemical ecology
There were 44 sequences for the phylum Actinobacteria for hydrothermal vents (0.6%). However, I am not sure if they are all within the Actinomycetales and most were unclassified. The deep-sea background search contained 615 hits for Actinobacteria with 508 belonging to Actinomycetales (6.4%). All sequences compiled from Ribosomal Database Project: Release 10 (For citations see http://rdp.cme.msu.edu/misc/citation.jsp)
