Coral reef survival is crucial for the socio-ecological interest of many countries, particularly Republic Maldives, whose integrity influences country’s livelihoods and economy. These ecosystems are being severely impacted by multiple stressors, leading to declines in biodiversity. In last few decades, researchers have focused on studying coral-associated microorganisms (CAMs) their symbiotic role coral health resilience. Metabarcoding analysis has been widely utilized study CAM diversity under various conditions but provides limited information functional roles. Therefore, cultivation bacterial strains remains indispensable validating ecological biotechnological hypotheses. this study, we investigated microbial community associated with two abundant corals Porites lobata Acropora gemmifera, evaluated antimicrobial, antioxidant, UV-protectant properties 10 promising isolated strains. The selected CAMs, Pseudoalteromonas piscicida 39, Streptomyces parvus 79, Microbacterium sp. 92 (a potential novel species), Micromonospora arenicola 93, exhibited antibiotic activity against a panel pathogenic (MIC from 0.01 500 µg/mL), antioxidant (comparable effect that Trolox ascorbic acid), UV-screen activities (protection human keratinocytes at 200 µg/mL). Genomes revealed dual contributing restoration drug discovery strategies. findings highlight relevance representing an important step toward identification bioactive species beneficial health.
