Abstract

Marine coral-associated microorganisms played a critical role in chemical defense for their hosts, even considered as the true producers of some marine bioactive natural products. From the past 10 years, the studies on the secondary metabolites of these microbes (especially fungi) have been developed rapidly, which led to the obtainment of over 170 new compounds from microbes associated with gorgonians and soft corals. Some of these compounds showed strong bioactivities, such as cytotoxic, antimalarial, antibacterial, antifungal, and antifouling activity, which indicate that coral-associated microbes are important resources for finding new drugs.
