Abstract

Marine resources are very important in order to fulfil the large percentage of the nutraceutical products of the global market. The nutraceuticals are obtained from a diverse range of resources such as seaweeds, marine invertebrates, fungi, and bacteria that offer a myriad of bioactive molecules. However, emphasis on the use of polysaccharide degrading bacteria amongst other marine heterotrophic bacteria as a candidate for nutraceutical has not been laid. The polysaccharide degrading bacteria are diverse, ubiquitous, and have immense potential in the nutraceutical industry as they have previously exhibited anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, and antioxidant activity. Polysaccharide degrading enzymes play a crucial role in shaping the complex marine microbial loop. Enzymes such as agarases, chitinases, xylanases, carrageenases and fucoidanases have from marine microorganisms have demonstrated the substrate degradation abilities that have been exploited to obtain nutraceuticals of industrial importance. This chapter review focuses on the properties of the role of polysaccharide degrading bacterial enzymes as nutraceuticals and discusses their symbiotic interactions. In addition, the indirect use of polysaccharide degrading bacteria as nutraceuticals has been highlighted. Finally, the challenges and scope for further research in this field has also been discussed.
