Abstract:

The members of the Genus Deinococcus as representative of radiation-resistant microbes are extremely resistant to ionizing or ultraviolet radiation, hydrogen peroxide and desiccation. With the isolation and identification of many radiation-resistant microbes and the genome sequencing of four Deinococcus species, the application of these microbes and their gene resources has been paid great attention. This paper expounds the  research about genus Deinococcus its gene resources and their utilization, analyzes and prospects their potential application in environmental protection, bioremediation, human health, biotechnology and agricultural production.

Key words: Deinococcus, gene resources, application
