Microorganisms from marine environments are gaining attention for their idiosyncratic ability to survive in these extreme conditions and been evaluated for their application in bioprospecting. From isolation of enzymes and bioactive compounds possessing peculiar abilities, identification of unique metabolic pathways, to application in health care and bioremediation, extensive study on these organisms is been done with tremendous success. Technological advancement in modern science with regards to Omics technologies integrated with genetic engineering technologies are paving way for isolation of novel organisms and their macromolecules. These bioengineered organisms and enzymes have found their application in industries with high commercial value.
