Scientists have found in the sea a medicine against a cancer

It appears, the microbe living in medusoid essence Lissoclinum patella, makes the substance, capable to struggle with fatal disease.

Moreover, researchers approve, that for manufacture of this key making new medicine it will not be necessary to kill in a plenty of sea inhabitants.

The project is spent under aegis of university of state of Utah, the USA, and National fund of a science.

Unique properties belong to microbes under name Prochloron. These microbes make two substances - patellamid A and C which attribute in turn anticancer properties.

" Coral reeves and other sea environments are similar to tropical woods - they are full of substances which bear in itself potential medical properties ", - speaks Erit Shmit, working above the project.

" Unfortunately, reproduction of such substances - hard-hitting a problem. We have solved it by definition of the specific gene responsible for synthesis of these substances, and its introduction in laboratory bacteria ", - explains Shmit.

To the same conclusions about unique properties Prochloron send also scientists from university in Aberdeen together with colleagues from institute of the sea in Australia.

" It is a step forward on a way to a simple and effective method of use of a combination of substance and microbiological technologies for manufacture " medicines from a bottom sea " which in turn does not threaten with destruction of huge quantity of sea organisms ", - Mettju Fletcher from University of the Wales speaks.
