Abstract

Bioactive compounds produced by microorganisms have focused on in recent years. In particular, novel compounds showing anti-cancer activity have been isolated from marine microorganisms. In this review, we will discuss on the studies of new bioactive compounds derived from marine bacteria with conjunction to anti-cancer activity. This review will provide an information and source for bioactive compounds showing anti-cancer activity, which were derived from marine bacteria.
