This project has three linked benefits to Australia. One, it is the first study to use environmental genomics analysis in an Australian marine ecosystem, thus bringing into the Australian scientific community the cutting edge technology for studying diverse microbial communities. Two, by using this technology we will be able to investigate Australian marine biodiversity to an unprecedented extent. Three, this newly revealed diversity will then be mined for novel bioactives for use in pharmaceutical and other human health applications.

该项目对澳大利亚有三个相关的好处。首先，这是第一项在澳大利亚海洋生态系统中使用环境基因组学分析的研究，从而将研究不同微生物群落的尖端技术带入澳大利亚科学界。第二，通过使用这项技术，我们将能够以前所未有的程度调查澳大利亚的海洋生物多样性。第三，这些新发现的多样性将被挖掘出来，用于制药和其他人类健康应用的新生物活性。
