Biosynthesis of Important Marine Toxins of Microorganism Origins

There are a great number of toxins derived from microorganisms: bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and so on. They include a wide range of different biosynthetic types such as acetogenins, peptides, and terpenes, and their biosyntheses have been studied extensively and reviewed by many authors. Therefore, in this chapter, the author will focus only on the biosyntheses of pharmacologically and environmentally important marine toxins produced by marine microorganisms.
