“…(Jeju Island, Korea) yielded three known polyketides such as decumbenones A, B and versiol, and the cytotoxic lipopeptide fellutamide C. The same polyketides have been also reported from soil associated fungus Penicillium decumbens . Decumbenone A is a good inhibitor of melanin [139–141]. …”

The subject of this review is the biodiversity of marine sponges and associated microbes which have been reported to produce therapeutically important compounds, along with the contextual information on their geographic distribution. Class Demospongiae and the orders Halichondrida, Poecilosclerida and Dictyoceratida are the richest sources of these compounds. Among the microbial associates, members of the bacterial phylum Actinobacteria and fungal division Ascomycota have been identified to be the dominant producers of therapeutics. Though the number of bacterial associates outnumber the fungal associates, the documented potential of fungi to produce clinically active compounds is currently more important than that of bacteria. Interestingly, production of a few identical compounds by entirely different host-microbial associations has been detected in both terrestrial and marine environments. In the Demospongiae, microbial association is highly specific and so to the production of compounds. Besides, persistent production of bioactive compounds has also been encountered in highly specific host-symbiont associations. Though spatial and temporal variations are known to have a marked effect on the quality and quantity of bioactive compounds, only a few studies have covered these dimensions. The need to augment production of these compounds through tissue culture and mariculture has also been stressed. The reviewed database of these compounds is available at www.niobioinformatics.in/drug.php.

“…Peni- cillium spp. produce antifungal compounds such as mycophenolic acid, patulin, 3-omethylfunicone, and decumbenone A, which directly or indirectly inhibit infection by plant pathogens [16] [17]. In addition, phomalactone isolated from Nigrospora sphaerica (Sacc.)…”
Fungal strains isolated from the fruiting bodies of wild mushrooms were evaluated for fungicidal activity against Magnaporthe oryzae, the causal agent of the rice blast disease. Fungal isolates (n = 105) were obtained from 46 samples of wild mushrooms. Infection behaviors of M. oryzae were assessed in the presence of culture filtrates from 90 fungal isolates, of which 20 inhibited spore germination. Heat-treated culture filtrates of these isolates were classified into 3 groups according to biological activity. Blast lesion formation by M. oryzae was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with culture filtrates from 4 fungal isolates. ITS region sequence analysis indicated that these isolates shared similarities with species of the genera Annulohypoxylon, Nigrospora, and Penicillium. Studies of symbiotic and parasitic fungi from wild mushrooms may yield potential control agents for plant diseases such as the rice blast disease.
The present work constitutes the external scientific report of the EFSA open call OC/EFSA/FEED/2015/01. The aim of the call was to provide EFSA with a database from a review on the taxonomical description and potential toxigenic capacities of microorganisms used for the industrial production of feed additives and food enzymes. The review includes microorganisms used as source of feed additives and food enzymes for which EFSA has received or can potentially receive applications for safety assessment, and which have not been recommended for Qualified Presumption of Safety status. The database also comprises the molecular taxonomical identifiers and biosynthetic pathways involved in the production of toxic compounds and the responsible genes. The main result of the project is shown as a database developed according to the EFSA data structure. The methodological aspects and the queries used in the systematic search, as well as the procedure applied for the screening of scientific documents retrieved are described in this report. Details are available in supplementary appendices.In total, 22970 scientific documents were screened in the literature search, from which 411 were initially selected for providing pertinent data for the scope of the project. From the review of the selected articles, 474 bioactive secondary metabolites were recorded and 59 compounds were further studied in order to obtain data on their toxicology and the conditions in which they are produced by the microorganisms used in industrial fermentations. The database generated in this project comprises details that characterise, when available, the production conditions, genes involved and toxicity of these 59 compounds. This provides information that can be used to establish safety measures when using potentially toxigenic microorganisms in industrial fermentations Disclaimer: The present document has been produced and adopted by the bodies identified above as author(s).
