Abstract: Mangroves grown in tropical and subtropical coastal areas are unique inter-tidal zone plant communities with high moisture, high salinity, hypoxia tolerance, and high biodiversity. Mangroves are also precious resources for screening and discovering new actinomycetes species and medicinal bioactive secondary metabolites. At the aspects of species identification, taxonomy of actinomycetes is an essential method in recent mangrove actinomycetes research. This review is mainly focused on the application of taxonomy of actinomycetes, the characteristics of ecological environment and species distribution, and bioactivity of secondary metabolites in soil actinomycetes and endophytic actinomycetes in mangroves. We also prospected the future development trends on these aspects.

Key words: taxonomy, mangrove, actinomycetes, bioactivity, secondary metabolites
