Marine Micromonospora was revealed to be a rather untapped and a rich source of chemically diverse and unique bioactive natural products. This review is aimed to make a comprehensive survey of secondary metabolites that were derived from marine Micromonospora including chemical diversity and biological activities. A total of 116 compounds from 41 marine Micromonospora species have been reported, covering the literatures from 1997 to 2019. These compounds contain several structural classes such as polyketides (PKS), nonribosomal peptides (NRPS), PKS-NRPS hybrids, terpenes and others, and they present cytotoxic, antibacterial, antiparasitic, chemopreventive or antioxidant activities.

The intensive use of oil and its derivatives is related to a greater frequency of accidents involving the release of pollutants that cause harmful effects on ecosystems. Actinobacteria are cosmopolitan and saprophytic microorganisms of great commercial interest, but because they are predominantly found in soil, most research into the products of this phylum's metabolism has focused on this habitat. Marine actinobacteria exhibit unique metabolic characteristics in response to extreme conditions in their habitat, which distinguishes them from terrestrial actinobacteria.

Pigments and other secondary metabolites originating from marine microbes have been a promising natural colorants and drugs for multifaceted applications. However, marine actinobacteria producing such natural molecules are least investigated in terms of their taxonomy, chemical diversity and applications in biomedical, textile, and food industries. In this study, sioxanthin pigment-producing Gram-positive actinobacteria, Micromonospora sp.

To promote the bioconversion of marine chitin waste into value-added products, we expressed a novel pH-stable -derived chitinase, Chi1, in and subsequently purified, characterized, and evaluated it for its chitin-converting capacity. Our results indicated that Chi1 is of the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 18 with a molecular weight of approximately 57 kDa, consisting of a GH18 catalytic domain and a cellulose-binding domain. We recorded its optimal activity at pH 5.
