Outlook of fosmid library from metagenomic of the symbionts associated with coral Siderastrea stellata: structural and functional screening for metabolic and antimicrobial activity

Microorganisms colonize the corals and produce compounds with interesting biological properties for biotechnology. The aim of the present study was to search for biocompounds with industrial potential through the cloning metagenomic DNA of symbionts the coral S. stellata in fosmid vector. The metagenomic library was analyzed using functional screening and sequencing via the Illumina MiSeq. Of the 3648 clones, eight were identified as proteolytic...
