Abstract
This chapter describes the versatility of marine microorganisms. They have inherent ability to grow and thrive under polyextremes. The bioactive compounds such as hydrolases, unique pigments, alkaloids, peptides, colored antibiotics, exopolysaccharides, siderophores, ectoine, and proteins produced and released under stressful conditions have potential biotechnological applications especially in agriculture, food, health care, and medicine. We have also discussed the possible applications of polyextremophiles in the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
