Significance and potential of marine microbial natural bioactive compounds against biofilms/biofouling: necessity for green chemistry

Natural products from the unique environments of sea water and oceans represent a largely unfamiliar source for isolation of new microbes, which are potent producers of secondary bioactive metabolites. These unique life-forms from the marine ecosphere have served as an important source of drugs sinc...
