“…With major oil spills all to common, it is not surprising that many studies have focused on the role of marine fungi in hydrocarbon utilization (Crow et al 1976;Ahearn and Crow 1986), fungal communities on bunker oil (Okereke et al 2007;Obire and Anyanwu 2009;Sadaba and Sarinas 2010) to the effect of oil spill dispersants on fungal spores (Curran et al 1997). Other topics that have attracted attention of marine mycologists include: osmoregulation in Hydea pygmea (Ravishankar et al 2006), marine fungi as fish food (Cuomo 1986;Jaritkhuan 2002), and fungal protein production (Jones and Irvine 1972).…”

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.
