  • The genus Porphyra, consisting of 133 species includes several economically valuable species (i.e. P. yezoensis, P. tenera, P. pseudolinearis etc.). They are predominantly consumed and cultivated in East Asian countries such as Japan, Korea and China, and they are regarded as a big commercial market today. In addition to the industrial importance, P. yezoensis is currently regarded as a feasible candidate for a model plant in marine biotechnology, therefore there are a wide range of studies being undertaken: strain-preservation, development of mutant strains and genetic analysis and exhaustive molecular analysis including EST and macro/micro array. Focusing on the activities of our research group, current situation and future perspectives in marine biotechnological studies using P. yezoensis will be discussed in this mini review.

  • 생명체의 본질적 기능에 중요한 역할을 담당하는 유전자들을 밝히기 위해 미생물 유전체들 사이의 공통적 유전자를 밝히는 COG알고리듬을 이용하였다. 진핵생물 3종을 포함한 66종의 미생물에서 63개의 유전자가 보존적이었으며, 단백질 합성에 관여하는 유전자들이 총 52개로 생명현상에서의 단백질의 중요성을 알 수 있었다. 각 보존적 유전자들의 distance value를 이용하여 종간의 유전자 변이의 정도를 보면, ribosomal protein S12 (COG0048)와 ribosomal protein L14 (COG0093)의 보존성이 가장 높았다. 보존적 유전자들의 평균과 분산으로 유전체 분석을 수행한 결과, 고세균과 진정세균의 각 그룹 등 근연종들이 독자적 그룹을 형성하였다. 하지만 각 그룹내의 속 및 유전체의 수와 유전체 변이의 정도는 비례하지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • Among 12 marine bacterial strains from the China coast that exhibited interesting bioactivity (positive for both antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities), only four strains, namely, NJ6-3-1, NJ6-3-2, NB-6, and YTHM-17, had a KS domain or A domain when screened for PKS and NRPS genes using a PCR. Interestingly, two of these strains belonging to Pseudoalteromonas and associated with the marine sponge Hymeniacidon perleve were positive for both PKS and NRPS, whereas the other two strains of Pseudoalteromonas did not have a PKS or NRPS gene. A molecular phylogeny analysis and DGGE analysis of the Pseudoalteromonas sp. indicated that they had a specific affinity with the host marine sponge Hymeniacidon perleve. Furthermore, an analysis of a partial sequence of Pseudoalteromonas sp. NJ6-3-2 isolated from the marine sponge Hymeniacidon perleve obtained from genomic walking using a computational approach indicated a relatively complete PKS module including auxiliary domains (DH, KR, and Cy).
