Editorial: The multiple applications of marine-derived bioactives
Marine biotechnology is a rapidly evolving field that focuses on the exploration and utilization of marine biological sources for development of products and services with societal benefits. The chemical constituents of marine organisms, especially secondary metabolites (i.e., marine natural products) that are designed for ecological functions in their ecosystems represent ideal candidates as drugs and other functional ingredients. However, despite the vast potential of marine biota, the ocean remains largely underexplored and undervalorized, presenting a significant opportunity for discovering alternative sources of drugs, agrochemicals, cosmeceuticals, nutraceuticals, bio-inspired materials and other industrially relevant chemicals
