Marine fungi have been widely studied over the past millennium and considerable progress has been made in documenting their phylogeny, biodiversity, ultrastructure, ecology, physiology and their ability to cause decay of lignocellulosic compounds. These studies have generated a wealth of publications and this review will focus primarily on research undertaken since 1995. During this period new topics have attracted marine mycologists especially: algicolous and manglicolous fungi, deep sea fungi, planktonic fungi, endophytes of marine plants, and the screening of taxa for new chemical structures and bioactive compounds. This review will also highlight areas that warrant further investigation, including surveys for marine fungi in Africa, artic waters and south America, more detailed studies of their physiology and biochemistry, and to determine the marine origin of so called "marine derived" fungi.

“…In vitro studies suggest that marine fungi have the potential to degrade lignocellulosic components by their ability to produce hydrolytic enzymes, such as laccase, cellulase, amylase, alginase, laminarinase, peroxidase, pectinase, and xylanase [ 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 ]. Marine ascomycetes and basidiomycetes were demonstrated to solubilize significant amounts of lignin from wood in vitro, suggesting that they can carry out a ‘white-rot like’ role in the marine environment [ 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 ]. For example, the basidiomycetes Nia vibrissa , which were isolated from wood submerged in the sea, caused a pattern of wood decay characteristic of the white-rot type when cultured on different wood species [ 104 ].…”

Historically, the morphological decay features observed in woody biomass colonized by marine fungi were indicative of soft-rot and white-rot decay [ 107 ].…”

Fungi are considered terrestrial and oceans are a “fungal desert”. However, with the considerable progress made over past decades, fungi have emerged as morphologically, phylogenetically, and functionally diverse components of the marine water column. Although their communities are influenced by a plethora of environmental factors, the most influential include salinity, temperature, nutrients, and dissolved oxygen, suggesting that fungi respond to local environmental gradients. The biomass carbon of planktonic fungi exhibits spatiotemporal dynamics and can reach up to 1 μg CL−1 of seawater, rivaling bacteria on some occasions, which suggests their active and important role in the water column. In the nutrient-rich coastal water column, there is increasing evidence for their contribution to biogeochemical cycling and food web dynamics on account of their saprotrophic, parasitic, hyper-parasitic, and pathogenic attributes. Conversely, relatively little is known about their function in the open-ocean water column. Interestingly, methodological advances in sequencing and omics approach, the standardization of sequence data analysis tools, and integration of data through network analyses are enhancing our current understanding of the ecological roles of these multifarious and enigmatic members of the marine water column. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the diversity and abundance of planktonic fungi in the world’s oceans and provides an integrated and holistic view of their ecological roles.

“…Halosphaeria quadricor~uta, a warm water species, is absent at Langstone Harbour, whereas Zalerion maritimum, which is considered a cold water species (Jones, 1971), is absent from the Zakynthos site. Many members of Ascomycota and Deuteromycota are able to degrade wood by causing principally soft rot (Zabel & Morrell, 1992;Eaton & Hale, 1993), whereas those of Basidiomycota cause mostly white rot (Leightley & Eaton, 1973;Mouzouras et al, 1988). …”

The condition of a wooden shipwreck varies considerably according to the nature of the site environment. Each marine site exhibits a unique biodeteriogenic potential influenced by prevailing hydrographic factors. The potential rate of degradation of organic archaeological material can be determined by monitoring the diversity and activity of marine organisms and is important in determining if in sifu protection is required. To illustrate the deteriogenic potential of marine archaeological sites a cold water site (Langstone Harbour, UK) was compared with a warm water site (Zakynthos, Greece). The warm water site supported a greater diversity and activity of wood-boring crustaceans and molluscs than the cold water site. However, although the mycodiversity at the two sites was different the deteriogenic potential was similar. These results indicated that warm water sites are more hazardous and in situ protection is required during and after excavation.
