Abstract
The marine environment addresses endless and different assets of the pharmaceutical industries for new drugs in the terms of battling significant illnesses like cancer, malaria, etc. It additionally offers a natural asset involving an assortment of oceanic creatures such as microorganisms. These marine microorganisms are screened for anticancer, antifungal, antimicrobial, antibacterial, immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antimalarial properties. They are utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for the development of new drugs widely across the world. The enormous development of the world’s total population has overburdened the current assets for drugs. Furthermore, subsequently, the manufacturers of drugs are generally looking out for new resources to build effective as well as safe drugs to fulfill the rising requests of the total population. Marine-derived products are viewed as a novel method for satisfying the worldwide need for pharma, food, as well as energy. According to this viewpoint, this chapter explores the future marine microbial-derived products, their resources, as well as their applications in the pharmaceutical industries. Apart from these it also describes the economic contribution of the marine microbial-derived products to global needs.
