The various health problems experienced by the humanity, together with an increasing number of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms have been driven scientists to look for additional reserves of new bioactive substances. Actinomycetes are an important source of bioactive compounds with industrial and pharmaceutical interest. The distribution of this vast microbial group in the oceans is largely unexplored, making oceans an untapped and promising source of novel bioactive compounds.
