Abstract: Actinomycetes is an abundant resource for discovering a large number of lead compounds,
which play an important role in microbial drug discovery. Compared to terrestrial microorganisms, marine
actinomycetes have unique metabolic pathways because of their special living environment, which
has the potential to produce a variety of bioactive substances. In this paper, secondary metabolites isolated
from marine actinomycetes are reviewed (2013-2018), most of which exhibited cytotoxic, antibacterial,
and antiviral biological activities.
