Current status and demand analysis of polar microbial resources research and development
Polar regions,due to their extreme natural environments and relative geographic isolation,have evolved unique and diverse microbial resources.Polar microbes harbor the secrets of life's tolerance to extreme en-vironments and play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles.Their research can provide valuable insights for life sciences,geology,astrobiology,and other fields,making them scientifically significant.Meanwhile,the novel species,genes,and products of polar microbes constitute an important component of polar natural re-sources and are strategically important for sustainable utilization,possessing practical economic value and social benefits.Based on detailed scientific data,literature reports,patents,case studies,and international investment analysis,this study profoundly elucidates the importance of polar microbial research,summa-rizes the trends and needs in polar microbial research and development,and puts forward corresponding re-search and development suggestions.The results of this study can provide a reference for the layout of re-search,policies,and projects related to polar microbial resources.
