“…A study by Elwan et al reported that A. sydowii had a potential for lipase production (lipase yield of 90 µ/mL) in optimum culture conditions, specifically 5.4 pH; 2.0% sucrose, 0.2% corn oil, 0.23% (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , 0.1% KH 2 PO 4 , 0.05% MgSO 4 ·7H 2 O, 0.05%KCl, and using 0.1 M phosphate–citrate buffer and incubating at 30°C for 20 h [ 22 ].…”

“…In addition to its pathogenic potential, A. sydowii has captured a considerable number of researchers’ attention due to its capacity to create a variety of biotechnologically and industrially significant enzymes, such as lipases, α-amylases, xylanases, cellulases, tannases, and keratinases [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Additionally, A. sydowii biosynthesizes various classes of metabolites, such as sesquiterpenoids, alkaloids, xanthones, monoterpenes, anthraquinones, sterols, triterpenes, diphenyl ethers, pyrones, cyclopentenones, anthocyanins, and polyketides [ 11 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

Marine-derived fungi are renowned as a source of astonishingly significant and synthetically appealing metabolites that are proven as new lead chemicals for chemical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural fields. Aspergillus sydowii is a saprotrophic, ubiquitous, and halophilic fungus that is commonly found in different marine ecosystems. This fungus can cause aspergillosis in sea fan corals leading to sea fan mortality with subsequent changes in coral community structure. Interestingly, A. sydowi is a prolific source of distinct and structurally varied metabolites such as alkaloids, xanthones, terpenes, anthraquinones, sterols, diphenyl ethers, pyrones, cyclopentenones, and polyketides with a range of bioactivities. A. sydowii has capacity to produce various enzymes with marked industrial and biotechnological potential, including α-amylases, lipases, xylanases, cellulases, keratinases, and tannases. Also, this fungus has the capacity for bioremediation as well as the biocatalysis of various chemical reactions. The current work aimed at focusing on the bright side of this fungus. In this review, published studies on isolated metabolites from A. sydowii, including their structures, biological functions, and biosynthesis, as well as the biotechnological and industrial significance of this fungus, were highlighted. More than 245 compounds were described in the current review with 134 references published within the period from 1975 to June 2023.
