Abstract
The oceans are rich in diverse microorganisms, animals, and plants. This vast biological complexity is a major source of unique secondary metabolites. In particular, marine fungi are a promising source of compounds with unique structures and potent antibacterial properties. Over the last decade, substantial progress has been made to identify these valuable antibacterial agents. This review summarizes the chemical structures and antibacterial activities of 223 compounds identified between 2012 and 2023. These compounds, effective against various bacteria including drug-resistant strains such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, exhibit strong potential as antibacterial therapeutics. The review also highlights the relevant challenges in transitioning from drug discovery to product commercialization. Emerging technologies such as metagenomics and synthetic biology are proposed as viable solutions. This paper sets the stage for further research on antibacterial compounds derived from marine fungi and advocates a multidisciplinary approach to combat drug-resistant bacteria.

Appl Biochem Biotechnol 2024; 196:878-895. [PMID: 37256487 DOI: 10.1007/s12010-023-04577-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Six compounds were isolated and purified from the crude acetone extract of Aspergillus niger xj. Characterization of all compounds was done by NMR and MS. On the basis of chemical and spectral analysis structure, six compounds were elucidated as metazachlor (1), nonacosane (2), palmitic acid (3), 5,5'-oxybis(5-methylene-2-furaldehyde) (4), dimethyl 5-nitroisophthalate (5) and cholesta-3,5-dien-7-one (6), respectively, and compounds 1, 4, 5 and 6 were isolated for the first time from A. niger. To evaluate the antibacterial activity of compounds 1-6 against three plant pathogenic bacteria (Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-37, Erwinia carotovora EC-1 and Ralstonia solanacearum RS-2), and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined by broth microdilution method in 96-well microtiter plates. Results of the evaluation of the antibacterial activity showed that T-37 strain was more susceptible to metazachlor with the lowest MIC of 31.25 µg/mL. The antibacterial activity of metazachlor has rarely been reported, thus the antibacterial mechanism of metazachlor against T-37 strain were investigated. The permeability of cell membrane demonstrated that cells membranes were broken by metazachlor, which caused leakage of ions in cells. SDS-PAGE of T-37 proteins indicated that metazachlor could damage bacterial cells through the destruction of cellular proteins. Scanning electron microscopy results showed obvious morphological and ultrastructural changes in the T-37 cells, further confirming the cell membrane damages caused by metazachlor. Overall, our findings demonstrated that the ability of metazachlor to suppress the growth of T-37 pathogenic bacteria makes it potential biocontrol agents.

AlQurashi NA, Ibrahim G. Gonadal proliferation and reproductive cycle of the exotic sea squirt Cnemidocarpa amphora () (Pleurogona, Styelidae) sampled for the first time from the northern coast of Arabian Gulf in Saudi Arabia. BRAZ J BIOL 2023; 83:e273666. [PMID: 37970899 DOI: 10.1590/1519-6984.273666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Specimens of Cnemidocarpa amphora were collected monthly from the Arabian Gulf from September 2017 to August 2018. Parts of their gonads were prepared for histological testing. The gonads' diameters varied by month. Each gonad contained many ovarian follicles with different morphologies and was surrounded by several testicular follicles. The ovarian and testicular follicles were separate, although the latter were always present near the former. Repeated measures ANOVA tests were conducted to investigate monthly changes in oocyte stages. In squirts measuring 12-13 cm in length, the gonads measured 30-50 mm from July to August; 20-25 mm from September to October; 15-20 mm from November to February; and 25-40 mm from March to June. Oogonia budded from the germinal epithelium with diameters of 20-30 µm. Previtellogenic oocytes measuring 70-120 µm were characterized by the deposition of small granules of protein around the nucleus, a continuous layer of follicular cuboidal epithelium, and scattered vacuoles in the ooplasm. The measurement of gonads and oocyte diameters were performed by image analysis (Image scope 2.3, Image Line, Inc.) and stage micrometer. The vitellogenic oocytes measured 130-220 µm and the follicular epithelium consisted of flattened and cuboidal layers. Beneath the vitelline membrane, scattered test cells appeared in the ooplasm and different granules of protein and MPS were deposited in the ooplasm. In the later phase, lipid droplets began to appear in the ooplasm. Yolk bodies formed after the impregnation of various granules together and the oocyte was ready to be shed. Before spawning, a yolk membrane appeared above the ooplasm. Post-vitellogenic oocytes, in which the homogeneity of ooplasm was restored, underwent gradual lysis and entered the atretic phase. Different stages of sperm development were present year-round in different follicles of the same squirt; hence, the testes were always mature.

Abstract
Aspergillus, one of the most product-rich and genetically robust genera, contains a diverse range of species with potential economic and ecological implications. Chemically, Aspergillus is one of the essential sources of polyketides, alkaloids, diphenyl ethers, diketopiperazines, and other miscellaneous compounds, displaying a variety of pharmacological activities. The α-pyrones are unsaturated six-membered lactones. Although α-pyrone has a small structure, it is responsible for the structural diversity of several natural and synthetic compounds and multiple biological activities. In this review, we have summarized approximately 178 α-pyrone containing metabolites derivatives identified/reported from terrestrial, marine, endophytic, and filamentous Aspergillus species, including their sources, biological properties, and biosynthetic pathways until mid-2023, for the first time. This review is the first to compile and analyze the available data on α-pyrone metabolites from Aspergillus, which could facilitate further research and innovation in this field. Additionally, it offers a valuable source of scaffolds for future bioactive drug development, as some of these metabolites have shown potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects. Therefore, this review has significant implications for the advancement of natural product chemistry, pharmacology, biotechnology, and medicine.

Abstract
Microorganisms are the dominating source of food and nutrition for sponges and play an important role in sponge structure, chemical defense, excretion and evolution. In recent years, plentiful secondary metabolites with novel structures and specific activities have been identified from sponge-associated microorganisms. Additionally, as the phenomenon of the drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria is becoming more and more common, it is urgent to discover new antimicrobial agents. In this paper, we reviewed 270 secondary metabolites with potential antimicrobial activity against a variety of pathogenic strains reported in the literature from 2012 to 2022. Among them, 68.5% were derived from fungi, 23.3% originated from actinomycetes, 3.7% were obtained from other bacteria and 4.4% were discovered using the co-culture method. The structures of these compounds include terpenoids (13%), polyketides (51.9%), alkaloids (17.4%), peptides (11.5%), glucosides (3.3%), etc. Significantly, there are 124 new compounds and 146 known compounds, 55 of which have antifungal activity in addition to antipathogenic bacteria. This review will provide a theoretical basis for the further development of antimicrobial drugs.

Abstract
Synthetic chemical pesticides are primarily used to manage plant pests and diseases, but their widespread and unregulated use has resulted in major health and environmental hazards. Using biocontrol microbes and their bioactive compounds is a safe and sustainable approach in plant protection. In this study, a furoic acid (FA) compound having strong antibacterial activity against soil-borne phytopathogenic bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum [causal agent of bacterial wilt (BW) disease] was isolated from Aspergillus niger and identified as 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furoic acid compound through spectroscopic analyses (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS), electron ionization MS, and NMR). The SEM study of bacterial cells indicated the severe morphological destructions by the FA compound. The FA was further evaluated to check its potential in enhancing host resistance and managing tomato BW disease in a greenhouse experiment and field tests. The results showed that FA significantly enhanced the expression of resistance-related genes (PAL, LOX, PR1, and PR2) in tomato and caused a significant reduction (11.2 log10 colony-forming units/g) of the R. solanacearum population in soil, resulting in the reduction of bacterial wilt disease severity on tomato plants and increase in plant length (58 ± 2.7 cm), plant biomass (28 ± 1.7 g), and root length (13 ± 1.2 cm). The findings of this study suggested that the fungus-derived FA compound can be a potential natural compound of biological source for the soil-borne BW disease in tomato.

Abstract
Aspergillus fungi can produce a wide range of secondary metabolites, and they have represented a potential resource of novel bioactive compounds. Bacterial plant diseases have a serious impact on the sustainable development of agriculture worldwide, so it is necessary to use natural antibacterial compounds in microorganisms to control plant pathogens. This study was conducted to investigate the bioactive compounds of Aspergillus niger xj, three plant pathogens (Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-37, Erwinia carotovora EC-1, and Ralstonia solanacearum RS-2) were used as indicator bacteria, according to the biological activity tracking, five compounds were isolated from A. niger xj spore powder, and characterization of compounds was done by NMR (1H-NMR and 13C-NMR) and EI-MS and was identified as ergosterol (1), β-sitosterol (2), 5-pentadecylresorcinol (3), 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (4), and succinimide (5). Compounds 3 and 5 were isolated from A. niger xj for the first time. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of five compounds against three plant pathogens was evaluated, the results showed that compound 4 exhibited the strongest antibacterial activity against tested bacteria, and RS-2 was the most sensitive to compound 4, showing the lowest MIC of 15.56 μg/ml. We concluded that the mechanism of action of the compound 4 against RS-2 might be described as compound 4 acting on bacterial protein synthesis and intracellular metabolism according to the results of the scanning electron microscopy observation, permeability of cell membrane and SDS-PAGE. These results indicated that compound 4 has good potential to be as a biocontrol agent. In conclusion, the results from this study demonstrated that the compounds with antibacterial activity are of great significance of the prevention and control of plant phytopathogenic bacteria, and they may be applicable to exploring alternative approaches to integrated control of phytopathogens.

Structure-based molecular networking for the target discovery of novel germicidin derivatives from the sponge-associated streptomyces sp. 18A01. J Antibiot (Tokyo) 2021; 74:799-806.

Abstract
Four new α-pyrone derivatives, named germicidins P-S (1-4) along with nine known analogues (5-13) were discovered from the sponge-associated Streptomyces sp. 18A01 guided by Global Natural Products Social (GNPS) molecular networking, the LC-DAD-MS profile, and hexokinase II (HK2) inhibitory activity. The structures of 1-13 were elucidated by analysis of their HRMS, optical rotation, and NMR spectroscopic data. The absolute configurations of germicidin P (1) and germicidin Q (2) were determined on the basis of comparisons of experimental and theoretically calculated ECD spectra. Bioactivities of the isolated compounds were assayed against human HK2. The bioassay results showed that compounds 1-4 and 11-13 exhibited significant inhibitory activities against HK2, with IC50 values ranging from 5.1 to 11.0 μM. A molecular docking simulation demonstrated that these germicidins were docked in the inner active site tunnel of HK2. Interestingly, the amino residue Arg91 has a better binding affinity and efficacy than the amino residue Asn89 in the process of HK2 binding to the ligands, resulting in better hexokinase inhibitory activity. This result provided a valuable perspective for better understanding their HK2 inhibition activity.

Abstract
Under guidance of 1H NMR, ten new polypropionate derivatives, decempyrones A-J (1-10) along with two known analogues (11 and 12), were isolated from the marine-derived fungusFusarium decemcellulare SYSU-MS6716. The planar structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses (1D and 2D NMR, and HR-ESIMS). The absolute configuration of the chiral centers in the side chain is a major obstacle for the structure identification of natural polypropionate derivatives. Herein, the J-based configurational analysis (JBCA), chemical degradation, geminal proton rule, and the modified Mosher's method were adopted to fix their absolute configurations in the side chain. Compounds 3 and 10 exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the production of NO in RAW264.7 cells activated by lipopolysaccharide with IC50values 22.4 ± 1.8 and 21.7 ± 1.1 μM. In addition, compounds 3 and 10 displayed MptpA inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 19.2 ± 0.9 and 33.1 ± 2.9 µM. Structure-activity relationships of the polypropionate derivatives were discussed.

Lyu L, Wang Q, Wang G. Cultivation and diversity analysis of novel marine thraustochytrids. MARINE LIFE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 2021; 3:263-275. [PMID: 37073337 PMCID: PMC10077191 DOI: 10.1007/s42995-020-00069-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/23/2020] [Indexed: 05/03/2023]
Abstract
Thraustochytrids are a group of unicellular marine heterotrophic protists, and have long been known for their biotechnological potentials in producing squalene, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and other bioactive products. There are less than a hundred known strains from diverse marine habitats. Therefore, the discovery of new strains from natural environments is still one of the major limitations for fully exploring this interesting group of marine protists. At present, numerous attempts have been made to study thraustochytrids, mainly focusing on isolating new strains, analyzing the diversity in specific marine habitats, and increasing the yield of bioactive substances. There is a lack of a systematic study of the culturable diversity, and cultivation strategies. This paper reviews the distribution and diversity of culturable thraustochytrids from a range of marine environments, and describes in detail the most commonly used isolation methods and the control of culture parameters. Furthermore, the perspective approaches of isolation and cultivation for the discovery of new strains are discussed. Finally, the future directions of novel marine thraustochytrid research are proposed. The ultimate goal is to promote the awareness of biotechnological potentials of culturable thraustochytrid strains in industrial and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Natural polypropionates (PPs) are a large subgroup of polyketides with diverse structural features and bioactivities. Most of the PPs are discovered from marine organisms including mollusks, fungi and actinomycetes, while some of them are also isolated from terrestrial resources. An increasing number of studies about PPs have been carried out in the past two decades and an updated review is needed. In this current review, we summarize the chemical structures and biological activities of 164 natural PPs reported in 67 research papers from 1999 to 2020. The isolation, structural features and bioactivities of these PPs are discussed in detail. The chemical diversity, bioactive diversity, biodiversity and the relationship between chemical classes and the bioactivities are also concluded.

Abstract
Marine natural products (MNPs) containing pyrone rings have been isolated
from numerous marine organisms, and also produced by marine fungi and bacteria, particularly,
actinomycetes. They constitute a versatile structure unit of bioactive natural
products that exhibit various biological activities such as antibiotic, antifungal, cytotoxic,
neurotoxic, phytotoxic and anti-tyrosinase. The two structure isomers of pyrone ring are γ-
pyrone and α-pyrone. In terms of chemical motif, γ-pyrone is the vinologous form of α-
pyrone which possesses a lactone ring. Actinomycete bacteria are responsible for the production
of several α-pyrone compounds such as elijopyrones A-D, salinipyrones and violapyrones
etc. to name a few. A class of pyrone metabolites, polypropionates which have
fascinating carbon skeleton, is primarily produced by marine molluscs. Interestingly, some
of the pyrone polytketides which are found in cone snails are actually synthesized by actinomycete bacteria.
Several pyrone derivatives have been obtained from marine fungi such as Aspergillums flavus, Altenaria sp.,
etc. The γ-pyrone derivative namely, kojic acid obtained from Aspergillus fungus has high commercial demand
and finds various applications. Kojic acid and its derivative displayed inhibition of tyrosinase activity and, it is
also extensively used as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Owing to their commercial and biological significance,
the synthesis of pyrone containing compounds has been given attention over the past years. Few reviews
on the total synthesis of pyrone containing natural products namely, polypropionate metabolites have been reported.
However, these reviews skipped other marine pyrone metabolites and also omitted discussion on isolation
and detailed biological activities. This review presents a brief account of the isolation of marine metabolites
containing a pyrone ring and their reported bio-activities. Further, the review covers the synthesis of marine
pyrone metabolites such as cyercene-A, placidenes, onchitriol-I, onchitriol-II, crispatene, photodeoxytrichidione,
(-) membrenone-C, lihualide-B, macrocyclic enol ethers and auripyrones-A & B.

Antibiotics Development and the Potentials of Marine-Derived Compounds to Stem the Tide of Multidrug-Resistant Pathogenic Bacteria, Fungi, and Protozoa. Mar Drugs 2020; 18:E145. [PMID: 32121196 PMCID: PMC7142797 DOI: 10.3390/md18030145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2020] [Revised: 02/19/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
As the search for new antibiotics continues, the resistance to known antimicrobial compounds continues to increase. Many researchers around the world, in response to antibiotics resistance, have continued to search for new antimicrobial compounds in different ecological niches such as the marine environment. Marine habitats are one of the known and promising sources for bioactive compounds with antimicrobial potentials against currently drug-resistant strains of pathogenic microorganisms. For more than a decade, numerous antimicrobial compounds have been discovered from marine environments, with many more antimicrobials still being discovered every year. So far, only very few compounds are in preclinical and clinical trials. Research in marine natural products has resulted in the isolation and identification of numerous diverse and novel chemical compounds with potency against even drug-resistant pathogens. Some of these compounds, which mainly came from marine bacteria and fungi, have been classified into alkaloids, lactones, phenols, quinones, tannins, terpenes, glycosides, halogenated, polyketides, xanthones, macrocycles, peptides, and fatty acids. All these are geared towards discovering and isolating unique compounds with therapeutic potential, especially against multidrug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms. In this review, we tried to summarize published articles from 2015 to 2019 on antimicrobial compounds isolated from marine sources, including some of their chemical structures and tests performed against drug-resistant pathogens.

Abstract
Four new α-pyrones, hypotiens A–D (1–4), were isolated from a fungal endophyte, Hypoxylon investiens J2, harbored in the medicinal plant Blumea balsamifera. Their structures were determined through detailed HRMS and NMR spectroscopic data. Compounds 1–4 are new α-pyrone derivatives containing an unusual dimethyl substitution in the highly unsaturated side chain. Their plausible biosynthetic pathway was discussed. Biological assay indicated that compounds 1–4 showed no antimicrobial, quorum sensing inhibitory, and cytotoxic activities. The specific side chain in α-pyrone derivatives 1–4 might be responsible for the weak pharmacological activities. Four new α-pyrones, hypotiens A–D (1–4), were isolated from a fungal endophyte, Hypoxylon investiens J2, harbored in the medicinal plant Blumea balsamifera.![]()
