Abstract

This review article focuses on the biotechnological potential of marine isolates of the bacterial genus *Pseudomonas*, highlighting recent discoveries from 2009 onward in five key areas: antimicrobial compounds, antifouling activity, pigment production, enzyme synthesis, and bioremediation strategies. Marine *Pseudomonas* spp. exhibit remarkable adaptability and genetic versatility, making them promising sources of novel bioactive molecules that could address global challenges in healthcare and sustainable development. Examples include antimicrobial agents effective against multidrug-resistant pathogens, enzymes with therapeutic and industrial applications, pigments with antioxidant and UV-protective properties, and biosurfactants useful in pollutant degradation and antifouling coatings. Despite these advances, the review notes that research on marine *Pseudomonas* remains preliminary, with many compounds awaiting full characterization and application development, underscoring the need for further exploration of underinvestigated marine environments.
