Marine natural product drug discovery has begun to play an important role in the treatment of diseases. Early drug discovery from natural products came primarily from plants, but after the discovery and development of penicillin, scientists started looking at natural products from microorganisms. Numerous natural products have been discovered from members of the order Actinomycetales, particularly in the genus Streptomyces, due to their metabolic diversity in the production of biologically active secondary metabolites. Ascidians, also known as tunicates, are marine invertebrates that contain many host-associated microbes. Adult tunicates are sessile, which makes them vulnerable to predators, and thus, they …
