Marine animals are continuously exposed to a wide range of microorganisms present intheir environment. Studies indicated that the microorganisms could be found in differentparts of the animal’s body. There are different types of lactic acid bacteria in variousisolation sites and studies have disclosed the presence of Lactobacillus, Lactococcus,Enterococcus, Streptococcus, Vagococcus, Pediococcus, Weissella, Leuconostoc, andCarnobacterium. The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) of these animals have been the subject ofvarious studies. They were studied for their inhibitory activity against pathogens, testedfor their antibiotic resistance, and searched for the production of bacteriocin which someare eventually made into commercial products. This study reviewed isolated LAB frommarine animals to discover the better potential of LAB that could be implemented indifferent industries such as food and beverages, pharmaceutical, aquaculture,nutraceutical, and medical. This review assembled the species of LAB that were isolatedfrom different parts of the marine animals’ bodies and their application.
