2004. Many recent EU FP7-funded projects (e.g., MACUMBA and PHARMASEA) have focused their attention on microorganisms (in particular, bacteria and microalgae) improving their cultivability and exploiting their potential for pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical, and nutraceutical applications (These methods have already been successfully used in terrestrial and marine microbial symbionts.

The alkaloid-derived compound PM01183 is another drug candidate from Pharmamar being evaluated for its efficacy against a range of cancers including ovarian, breast, lung, acute leukemia, and endometrial cancer There are several marine compounds sourced from microbes which are of clinical significance.

The most prominent of these is bryostatin 1, isolated from the bryozoan, The first marine-derived compound to enter clinical trials was didemnin B, isolated from the tunicate, The marine-derived drug pipeline, almost nonexistent in decades gone by, now has a range of candidates at various stages of development as shown in Drugs in Phase three clinical trials include tetrodotoxin, a guanidinium alkaloid under the trademark name Tectin obtained from the Pufferfish A depsipeptide from a tunicate, plitidepsin, is being tested by Pharmamar in the treatment of a variety of cancers, namely leukemia, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma. 2005. Retrieved 7 December 2006, from Chesapeake Bay Introduced Species Database. Clinical trials are being conducted on Plinabulin (NPI-2358), a vascular disrupting agent obtained from a marine fungal extract with potential for activity against multidrug resistant tumor cells. Such extracts are complex chemical mixtures of many compounds that are often present at low concentrations, making it difficult to accurately identify the true agent(s) responsible for bioactivity. 2004.

Piola, R.F. It took 14 tons of Bugula neritina collected from deep water off the coast of California to produce 18 grams of pure bryostatin-1 for cancer trials by NCI. Bugula neritina is a widely known cosmopolitan bryozoan species since the eighteenth century , distributed in warm-temperature and subtropical coastal waters, known as an important component of the fouling communities colonizing artificial substrates (see historical review in Ryland, Bishop ). Distribution and Ecology of Estuarine Ectoprocts: A Critical Review, Chesapeake Science18(1): 34-57.Wyatt, A.S.J., Hewitt, C.L., Walker, D.I. There are three additional alien species of Bugula reported in Hawaii; B. dentata, B. robusta, and B. stolonifera (Zabin, 1999). Species Bugula plumosa. 2005. Sutherland, J.P. and Karlson, R.H. 1977. Native range: Bugula neritina was widespread before surveys commenced in most areas (Keough and Ross, 1999).One mitochondrial haplotype (based on sequences of the mitochondrial gene COI) is globally widespread, occurring on coastlines in Australia, Curacao, USA and Hawaii, and the UK, indicating a widespread introduction (Mackie, Keough and Christidis, 2006).

Introduced species remark In Australian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) : Bugula 'neritina' collected in Botany Bay, Australia, proved highly resistant as larvae and adults to dissolved copper, an active agent in many antifouling paints, and therefore have the potential to foul coated hulls (Piola and Johnston 2006).
