It is considered that the knowledge of bacterial species is still very limited and, for this reason, bioprospection to identify new groups is encouraged. We are currently analyzing a number of Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium isolates from native legumes in tropical areas by ssu rRNA profiles, alloenzyme polymorphism and DNA-DNA homology. 1, record 1, English, - bioprospection

La observación sistemática de relaciones ecológicas entre los seres vivos y su ambiente puede también producir información valiosa para la bioprospección. Algunos ejemplos incluyen el descubrimiento de un nematicida, de una semilla a partir de la observación de que los roedores evitan comer esta semilla de la selva de Costa Rica, y el descubrimiento de varios antibióticos como resultado de la observación de las interacciones entre microorganismos (hongos y bacterias). 3, record 1, Spanish, - bioprospecci%C3%B3n
