Abstract
The extreme environment of the polar regions has driven the evolution of unique metabolic mechanisms in microorganisms, resulting in structurally diverse and highly active secondary metabolites. These metabolites are not only crucial for microbial adaptation to extreme conditions, but also exhibit significant potential for applications in medicine, agriculture (e.g., biocontrol), and industry. This review provides a comprehensive overview of 111 secondary metabolites derived from polar microorganisms reported between 2013 and 2025, with a focus on advances in their classification, biological activities, and biosynthetic gene cluster mining techniques. Additionally, it highlights key strategies for advancing future investigations, providing a valuable reference for continued exploration in this promising field. Notably, polar microbial secondary metabolites also hold promising applications in agriculture, particularly in biocontrol, soil health enhancement, and stress-resistant crop development.
