Development of overseas marine bioresources

Abstract

Living organisms adapt themselves to the environment through the metabolic manifestation for the production of various metabolites with ecological functions. Tropical marine organisms are known to be the richest source of biologically active secondary metabolites which might be responsible for the chemical defense, while marine organisms in harsh living condition intensively develop the pathways related to energy metabolism which usually causes the production of large amountof the particular primary metabolite.e secondary metabolites which might be responsible for the chemical defense, while marine organisms in harsh living condition intensively develop the pathways related to energy metabolism which usually causes the production of large amountof the particular primary metabolite.
