In the current study, a fosmid library of metagenomic DNA isolated from Atlantis II Deep Lower Convective Layer (ATII LCL), was functionally screened for antibacterial activity as well as anticancer effects. Additionally, extreme marine environments are interesting niches to search for bioactive natural compounds. Marine environments are wealthy sources for natural products. Likewise, new anti-cancer drugs are needed to combat the emergence of multi-drug resistant tumors. The search for novel antimicrobial agents is crucial as antibiotic-resistant pathogens continue to emerge, rendering the available antibiotics no longer effective.
