Investigation of benthonic marine organisms in Indonesia searching for new medicinal seeds.

为了开发新的药用资源，我们在印度尼西亚帝汶岛西侧（Kupang地区）、Biak岛周围和Flores岛（Maumere地区）的珊瑚礁中采集了279份底栖海洋生物标本，并对标本进行了制备和提取。此外，我们还根据水下海洋生物的照片、生物测定结果和样品中的有效成分，编制了包含分布、环境和形态特征信息的样品清单。我们还编制了从海沙和海洋生物中分离的140种真菌的清单。

To develop the new medicinal resources, we collected 279 samples of benthonic marine organisms in the coral reef of the west side of Timor Island(Kupang area), the around of Biak Island and the Flores Island(Maumere area) at Indonesia, and prepared the specimen and the extracts from the collected samples. In addition, we prepared the list of samples, which contained information of the distribution, environments and morphological characteristics based on the pictures of marine organisms under the water, results of the bioassay and the active constituents in the samples. We also have prepared the list of 140 kinds of fungi isolated from sea sands and marine organisms.
