Marine Bacteria—A Treasure House of Valuable Products and Functions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Marine Niche: Applications in Pharmaceutical Sciences

Abstract

Immense diversity of prokaryotes is reported for the oceans; however, we probably know only 0.01% of the microorganisms from marine ecosystems. Due to the burning need of new or novel therapeutic and environmental useful compounds, these less explored marine habitats have attracted various researchers since the last five decades. Nearly 16,000 natural products are discovered from marine organisms. Marine microbes are very diverse because they are exposed to wide variations in temperature, salinity, nutrition, and pressure at different levels. These extreme conditions are responsible for the presence of diverse photoautotrophs, chemolithotrophs, heterotrophs, nitrogen fixers, denitrifiers, luminescent as well as sulfur and iron oxidizers and reducing microorganisms. Various culture-dependent and -independent methods are used to explore the hidden microbial diversity and their potency. The chapter discusses about the production of various bioactive compounds, enzymes, neutraceuticals, exopolysaccharides, antibiotics, biosurfactants as well as the potential organisms useful in dye decolorization, microbial enhanced oil recovery, hydrocarbon degradation, and metal bioremediation. The chapter also deals with feature prospects in terms of valuable industrial and environmental significance of the bacterial community of oceans.
