transduction and phosphorylation. When the hypothetical proteins were re-analyzed they exhibited a defined functional domain. All the identified open reading frames (ORFs) had low identity with proteins deposited in BLASTp. The sequencing shows that most of the genomic fragments of clone P07H3 possibly consist of new proteins. The Proteobacteria phylum had the greatest predominance among the analyzed fragments. This is the first report on the prospection of amylases, proteases and antimicrobials of coral S. stellata samples. The analyzes of this study help to improve the knowledge about the metabolic diversity of S. stellata still little explored and viable in the future study of the identified compounds.
