AI Article Synopsis
- The marine environment is crucial for biodiversity and hosts diverse microorganisms that interact with marine organisms.
- These microbes can produce biologically active compounds that enhance the immune defenses of their host organisms.
- Research highlights the potential of these microbial metabolites as natural antimicrobial agents, offering promising avenues for treating infectious diseases.
Article Abstract
The marine environment is considered one of the most important ecosystems with high biodiversity. Microorganisms in this environment are variable and coexist with other marine organisms. The microbes associated with other marine organisms produce compounds with biological activity that may help the host's defense against invading organisms. The symbiotic association of bacteria with marine invertebrates is of ecological and biotechnological importance. Biologically active metabolites isolated from bacteria associated with marine invertebrates are considered potential sources of natural antimicrobial molecules for treating infectious diseases. Many studies have been conducted to screen the antimicrobial activity of metabolites produced by bacteria associated with marine invertebrates. This work provides an overview of the advancements in antimicrobial compound research on bacteria associated with marine invertebrates.
