Marine natural products sourced from marine-derived Penicillium fungi

Hong-Guang Ma et al. J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2016.

Abstract

Marine micro-organisms have been proven to be a major source of marine natural products (MNPs) in recent years, in which filamentous fungi are a vital source of bioactive natural products for their large metagenomes and more complex genetic backgrounds. This review highlights the 390 new MNPs from marine-derived Penicillium fungi during 1991 to 2014. These new MNPs are categorized based on the environment sources of the fungal hosts and their bioactivities are summarized.

Keywords: Marine natural products; Penicillium; antibacterial activity; cytotoxicity; marine fungus.
