Recently, the international biological journal "Journal of the International Society for Microbial Ecology" published an article titled "Deep-sea soft-walled bacteria have unique biological characteristics-taking the first pure culture as an example", reporting on the Chinese Academy of Sciences Oceanography The research results of Sun Chaomin's research group on deep-sea disaster culture microorganisms—the first pure culture of Tenericutes bacteria and their special life processes, in order to break through the bottleneck of deep-sea disaster culture microorganisms and understand the environmental adaptation of deep-sea rare microbial groups The mechanism provides important theoretical basis and research examples.
Chinese Academy of Sciences The deep sea contains a huge amount of microbial resources, but it is one of the least understood habitats on earth.
Soft-walled bacteria is a unique group of difficult-to-cultivable microorganisms, which have no cell walls but evolved from Firmicutes.
Based on this, Sun Chaomin’s research team used a novel method of adding E.
According to reports, because of its evolutionary and metabolic characteristics, both the soft-walled bacteria and the Firmicutes phyla, the researchers specially named a non-fish and non-pig monster in the "Shan Hai Jing"-the father fish (looks like Crucian carp, which has the head of a fish but the body of a pig) named the fungus, namely Xianfuyuplasma.
A number of previous studies have shown that the deep sea is rich in various types of nucleic acid molecules (such as DNA, RNA, etc.
The editor-in-chief of the "Journal of the International Society for Microbial Ecology" believes that the relevant research results "have important implications for the separation and study of rare species from deep-sea sediments for others.
Zheng Rikuan, a doctoral student at the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences , is the first author, and researcher Sun Chaomin is the corresponding author.
