Abstract:
Marine organisms have evolved diverse structural, physiological and metabolic features that support them to survive under extreme conditions. Marine microorganisms, especially, actinomycetes, are among the most promising sources of bioactive compounds. They are Gram +ve filamentous bacteria that are widely studied for the production of different metabolites with potent bioactivity. The studies on marine actinomycetes for exploration of their diverse compounds intensified with the advancement in technologies that enabled their culture-independent isolation and characterization. Currently, several research groups have purified and characterized various promising compounds from marine actinobacteria associated with sediments, algae, invertebrates, fishes, etc. and several of them are at the final stages of the drug discovery pipeline. The actinomycetes diversity in the marine environment with an emphasis on those associated with marine fauna and their bioactive compounds is focused on in this chapter.
