Undoubtedly marine environment offer unique and diverse bioactive
compounds with an array of health promoting abilities, even today, several marine-derived biologically active compounds are used as food and food supplements (Table 6).
Moreover, it is clear that marine environment is an ideal source for exploring novel functional materials.
In the search of novel biologically active metabolites, marine microorganism-derived functional ingredients has exhibited that they are unlike those found in terrestrial counterpart.
In order to develop advanced nutraceuticals with pinpointed health claims, these microbial metabolites are good candidates.
