Marine microorganisms have receivedmounting attention in biodiscoveries due to their exclusive physicochemical
characteristics which have been acquired as an adaptation to prevailing extreme conditions in the marine environment.
It has been noticed that those unique marine microbes and their biologically active metabolites are potential
sources to be used as sustainable food and pharmaceutical ingredients. Even though dozens of research articles
demonstrate the immense potentials ofmarinemicrobial metabolites as lead compounds in drugs and pharmaceutical
developments, their role as food ingredients is poorly addressed. However, recent advances in food technology
have opened up a number of novel avenues to develop natural substances as food or food ingredients. In this
context, this review aims at revealing and discussing prospective applications of marine microorganisms and
their metabolites in modern nutraceuticals and functional food
