Marine Microorganisms: Capacity Building for a Broader Cooperative Research and Utilization

INTRODUCTION

The development of marine microbiology is very important for the ATR. Microorganisms are an important part of marine ecosystems. Health of the marine environment and self-healing capacity depends on the communities of marine bacteria that are involved in the cycle of substances. An anthropogenic effect on the marine environment affects all living things. The only living organisms able to cope with this threat - it is the microorganisms. They are able to dispose of toxic and complex flavors to simple and safe. In addition, microbial cell is very sensitive to the effects of pollutants and is therefore it is a very accurate tool in the bioindication of pollution.

Of course it is important not only to environment but also marine animals and plants inhabiting it. The big problem mariculture farms, acquiring great importance in the Asia-Pacific economies, are the fact that in vitro breeding of animals often get sick. And here the problem is not in the detection of pathogen, but also in using microorganisms as probiotics for the treatment of debilitated animals. Features of marine organisms are badly investigated. They are the source of many biologically active compounds, which analogues were found in animals or plants, but often surpass them in their properties. Simple conditions of cultivation, a high growth rate and excellent characteristics of product are attractive to many producers. Marine microbiology is the science of the future. Using

microorganisms, we can save the environment, produce useful materials and products and raise on the high technological level of industrial production.
