New Marine Natural Products of Microbial Origin from 2010 to 2013

The microbial drug research started from the 20th century has become the foundation of modern drugs. Nowadays, almost 10% of all presently known compounds with bioactivities are of microbial origin. In the past decade, natural products from marine microorganisms that were regarded as a very potential resource for the drug discovery have gained great attention. This paper introduces the sources, structures and bioactivities of 895 new compounds from marine bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi reported between January 2010 and February 2013.
