动物共生放线菌研究展望

The Perspectives of Animal Symbiotic Actinobacteria

摘要:

近年来利用分子生态学技术已在多种动物肠道检测到放线菌的存在, 对这些动物特别是昆虫共生放线菌的研究已在新型放线菌资源中发现新型天然产物, 阐明了生物共生系统的进化, 并在控制虫媒传染病等方面显示出诱人前景。结合本实验室研究成果, 主要对陆生动物共生放线菌的研究进展进行综述, 并对其研究前景进行介绍。

Abstract:

The actinobacteria have been detected in guts of many animals including insects by molecular methods. Finding novel actinobacterial species, screening novel natural products, reevaluation of coevolution between attine ants and actinomycete bacteria, and eliminating the parasites of disease vectors have been done based on the studies on animal symbiotic actinobacteria. The present results for terrestrial animal symbiotic actinobacteria were reviewed and the perspectives were outlined.
