Filipino scientists discovered a potential antibiotic and anti-cancer bacteria called S. tubbatahanensis in the Tubbataha Reefs in the Sulu Sea. The bacteria was found to contain properties that could make it an effective treatment to prevent cancer and as an antibiotic. S. tubbatahanensis takes its name from the Tubbataha Reefs, one of the oldest and most protected marine ecosystems in the Philippines where it was discovered. It is a Streptomyces bacteria important for drug production in medicine, agriculture and veterinary fields. The research group from the University of San Agustin in Iloilo, led by three Filipino scientists, published their findings in an international scientific journal in February

Potensyal na antibiotic at anticancer bacteria, nadiskubre sa
Tubbataha Reefs, Sulu Sea.
Nadiskubre ng tatlong Filipino Scientists noong ika-dalawang pu ng Marso, ang
bakterya na merong potensyal maging mabisang pang iwas ng kanser at antibiotics sa Tubbataha Reefs sa karagatan ng Sulu.
Hinango ang pangalan na S (Streptomyces) tubbatahanensis sa isa sa pinaka
protektado at matandang marine ecosystem sa Pilipinas kung saan ito nadiskubre, ang bakterya ay isang Streptomyces na importante sa paggawa ng gamot sa larangan ng medisina, agrikultura at beteninarya kung kaya ito ay naglalaman ng katangian na antibiotic at anti-cancer.
Ayon sa DOST (Departamento ng Siyensya at Teknolohiya) ang grupo ng
mananaliksik sa Unibersidad ng San Agustin, sa syudad ng Iloilo na pinangunahan ng tatlong Filipino ‘Balik Scientists’ na tumuklas sa potensyal sa nasabing bakterya. Ang Tubbataha Coral Reef ay idineklara ng UNESCO bilang Pandaigdig na Pamanang Pook.
‘Balik Scientists’ ay tumutukoy sa mga Pilipinong nag aral ng siyensya sa ibang
bansa, at bumalik sa Pilipinas para maglingkod sa DOST at mga katuwang na mga institusyon. Sila Dr. Emmanuel Lorenzo de los Santos na mananaliksik sa Unibersidad ng Warwick at dating mga siyentipikong nakabase sa US na sila Dr. Jonel Saludes at Dr. Doralyn Dalisay ang nanguna sa pananaliksik sa Tubbataha Reefs.
Naging matagumpay ang grupo ng mga mananaliksik kasama sila Chuckris
Tenebro, Dana Joanne Trono, Lex Aliko Balida, Leah Katrine Bayog, Julyanna Bruna, Edna Sabido and Dion Paul Caspe.
Nailimbag ang pananaliksik sa internasyonal na siyentipikong journal nuong ika-
dalawampu't isa ng Pebrero na may pamagat: “Synergy between Genome Mining, Metabolomics, and Bioinformatics Uncovers Antibacterial Chlorinated Carbazole Alkaloids and Their Biosynthetic Gene Cluster from Streptomyces tubbatahanensis sp. nov., a Novel Actinomycete Isolated from Sulu Sea, Philippines” na ayon sa abstract nito “ The bioprospecting of novel Streptomyces species from marine sediments of underexplored ecological niches serves as an important source of antibiotic and anticancer drug leads with unique chemical scaffolds.” REFERENCE Tenebro, C. P., Trono, D. J., Balida, L. A., Bayog, L. K., Bruna, J. R., Sabido, E. M., Caspe, D. P., de Los Santos, E. L., Saludes, J. P., & Dalisay, D. S. (2023).
