Abstract

The present paper discusses the distribution of marine microbes in the estu­ aries, continental shelves and the deep sea. These habitats (except the deep sea environment) are congenial for the growth and survival of marine mi­ crobes due to high nutrient, photon energy and optimum salinity. The appli­ cation of marine microbes in the production of antibiotics, anti-tumour com­ pounds and enzyme and also in the sphere of bioremediation has opened a new avenue for the benefit of mankind.
