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（古邦地区）、比亚克岛周围和弗洛雷斯岛（Maumere地区）的珊瑚礁中采集了279个底栖海洋生物样品，并制备了标本和提取物。此外，我们还根据水下海洋生物的图片、生物测定结果和样品中的活性成分，编制了样品清单，其中包括分布、环境和形态特征的信息。我们还准备了从海砂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.
