Description Control of the unwanted microorganisms is essential in all aspects of life,
and microbial diseases must be treated in humans, animals, and plants. Emergence
of antibiotic resistant bacteria and the need for novel, antimicrobial compounds led
to the exploration of new habitats to screen the production of bioactive substances
(Gram et al. 2010). Nature provides a treasure-trove of chemicals that can be used
in chemical manufacturing processes, or developed into drugs for the treatment of
human disease. New environmental niches provide a new source of microbes and
potential for novel compound production (Sfanos et al. 2005).
Advances in natural product chemistry are expected to rely ever more on
interdisciplinary research, and this is particularly important for marine microbial
products. The marine environment contains over 80% of world’s plant and animal
species (Jha et al. 2004). Marine natural products from the microbes have lagged
behind those from macroorganisms. Therefore, marine microorganisms deserve
more and more organized attention by the natural products chemists (Pietra 1997).
Marine microorganisms are valuable resources due to the production of a wide
range of natural products with potential biotechnological and pharmaceutical
application (Gram et al. 2010). Antibiotic production by marine bacteria has been
documented for a long time. However, there is a paucity of information dealing
with the isolation and purification of the active inhibitory substances (Barja et al.
1989).
