Abstract：
Marine microorganisms, which include bacteria, viruses, microalgae, and fungi, play crucial roles in biogeochemical cycles, impacting climate change and ecological sustainability. They are essential in processes such as carbon sequestration, nitrogen fixation, and sulfur cycling. Additionally, they support food webs, degrade pollutants, and are harnessed in biotechnology for sustainable solutions, all of which are vital for maintaining the Earth's environmental balance. Consequently, the exploration of marine microbial resources is of paramount importance for environmental sustainability. In 2021, we developed the Microbial Community-Guided Culture Strategies (MCGCS) system, which uses a portable and rapid Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing device to predict specific microbial culture media and conditions. This system, through rapid target metagenomic sequencing approaches and real-time analysis, enables the testing of multiple carbon sources that interest us and facilitates the discovery of target microbes in samples for cultivation. As our ability to culture and comprehend these microorganisms grows, so does our capacity to contribute to the sustainability and conservation of the marine environment.
