Marine microbiology is gaining popularity in various parts of the world, with a distinct concentration on bioactive compounds. The marine biological miscellany has immense potential for the production of new natural products, many of which are promising prospects for the biomedical sector's development. Antimicrobials are derived in major part from terrestrial microorganisms, although these species are still being investigated extensively, and the number of novel compounds discovered by terrestrial microorganisms is decreasing. The ecology of marine microorganisms, on the other hand, is remain unclear, which is likely why scientists and ecologists have paid little attention to these organisms for many years. As they flourish in a variety of ecological stresses, temperatures, and food sources, these marine species acquire specific adaption mechanisms. This can encompass the struggle for habitat, predator avoidance, the ability to breed effectively, and a variety of other defense processes that aren't well understood. The evolution/production of exceptional and normal bioactive metabolites, which can be useful to humans in a variety of ways, is one such result of these adaptations. As a result, the goal of this study was to identify and screen the antimicrobial metabolite-producing marine bacteria from the Krishnapatnam area of Andhra Pradesh, India. Five marine bacteria with significant antibacterial and antifungal activities have been successfully isolated.
