This book focuses on the symbiotic microbiomes of invertebrates in coral reefs, especially sponges and corals. It provides in-depth and up-to-date reviews on the microbial structure and diversity, metabolism and function, symbiosis and coevolution, environment and adaption, and bioactive potentials. Meanwhile, the future perspectives will be discussed according to the existing problems and the development trend. This book will be of particular interest to the professionals in marine ecology, marine biotechnology, as well as medicinal chemists and molecular biologists.

This book discusses the diversity of marine actinobacteria with a special focus on the indigenous species. It covers all derivatives from the marine actinobacteria including enzyme, enzyme inhibitors and antibiotics. It then further delves into the isolation methods, screening methods and modern techniques that cis employed to reveal its potentials. The industrially important bioactive producing genera covered in the book are Actinomadura, Actinoplanes, Amycolatopsis, Marinispora, Micromonospora, Nocardiopsis, Saccharopolyspora, Salinispora, Streptomyces and Verrucosispora. The book also discusses the impact of advancements in whole genome sequencing and synthetic biology on the discovery of new bioactive compounds from marine actinomycetes. It then further explains the applications of this species in extraction of biofuels and for sustainable agriculture.This book is a valuable resource for researchers, industrialists and students pursuing marine actinobacteria or marine bioprospecting.
