Abstract

Marine biotechnology encompasses biotechnology in areas such as marine microbiology, biomedical important marine natural products, organisms in extreme environments, and aquaculture. Marine biotechnology, today, poised to flourish more than ever from the confluences that are occurring in fundamental research in modern biology and other areas of science. Using research results from our laboratory and those from others, we will review the current advances of marine biotechnology in this lecture.
