Marine Bacteria • Metabolites and Molecules • Bioreactors and Columns •
NMR • Plasmids and BioFoundries
The marine and tidal environments are home to a multitude of bacterial species that produce antibacterial molecules as part of their natural defences. As scientists we can discover new medicines from marine organisms like streptomyces.
Growing microorganisms in the lab requires a bioreactor. After the growth phase, the desired molecules can be isolated using methods like affinity chromatography. Below is an example lab report about isolating green fluroescent protein.
