Review in Studies on Antitumor Metabolites from Marine Microorganisms

In the past years, many new structurally-unique antitumor compounds have been isolated from marine microorganisms.This article summarizes the research advances in antitumor metabolites from marine microorganisms, important introduces the active matters for resisting tumor from marine actinomycetes,marine fungus and marine bacterium, and prospects the future research emphasis in this field.
