Caves, the Mysterious World of Microorganisms
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The unique structures of the remote caves, and the microorganism creatures living in this extreme dark environment should be investigated as an exceptional source for several new products and knowledge. Microorganisms obtained from such environment can be highly beneficial to science, health, and industry. Searching for novel isolates secreting potent secondary metabolites, and having promising biological activities is the target of current researches all over the world. In this review, it was highlighted that screening for microbes in remote areas especially remote caves following safety protocols will always result in isolation and identification and discovery of promising isolates with remarkable bioactivities. Many studies are required to complete investigating potentials of the promising isolated microorganisms.
