Indigenous marine actinomycetes are found in the seas and are extensively dispersed in various marine habitats, according to recent discoveries using culture-dependent and culture-independent techniques. The marine actinomycetes that live in aquatic settings are very diverse and unique. Novel actinomycetes have been isolated from materials obtained from various maritime settings and ecosystems. Different kinds of secondary metabolites are produced by these marine actinomycetes. Many of these metabolites have biological functions and may be used as medicinal treatments in the future. Marine actinomycetes are a rich source of new secondary metabolites that has been underutilized. Actinomycetes are Gram-positive bacteria with a fungal shape and a high GC. They include a large number of secondary metabolites with a wide range of biological activities. Gram-positive bacteria that belong to the phylum Actinobacteria, class Actinobacteria, subclass Actinobacteridae, order Actinomycetales, which has ten suborders, over 30 families, and over 160 genera.
