Key FindingGlobal ocean sampling revealed extensive previously uncharacterized microbial genetic diversity and identified bioprospecting candidates, including compact Cas9 systems, antimicrobial peptides, and enzymes with plastic-degradation potential.
Countstar ConnectionCountstar Rigel S2's GFP channel was used to quantify transfection efficiency, supporting functional validation of newly identified Cas9 systems in the marine microbial bioprospecting workflow.
