Magister Scientiae - MSc (Biotechnology) / Marine sponges are known to harbour diverse microorganisms which have been proposed to
be involved in the synthesis of most of the natural compounds derived from sponges.
However, only about 1% of these microorganisms can currently be identified through culturebased
approaches, limiting the discovery of novel natural compounds. To overcome this
limitation, a metagenomics approach has been introduced for the discovery of natural
compounds from symbiotic bacterial metagenomic DNA.
