Investigation of Marine-Derived Fungal Diversity and Their Exploitable Biological Activities

Abstract: Marine fungi are potential producers of bioactive compounds that may have pharmacological and medicinal applications. Fungi were cultured from marine brown algae and identified using multiple target genes to confirm phylogenetic placement. These target genes included the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), the nuclear large subunit (LSU), and the β-tubulin region. Various biological activities of marine-derived fungi were evaluated, including their antifungal, antioxidant and cellulolytic enzyme activities. As … Show more

“…Every year, approximately 200 new compounds, including polyketides, alkaloids, sesquiterpenes, and aromatic compounds, are isolated and identified from marine derived fungi (Moghadamtousi, Nikzad, Kadir, Abubakar & Zandi, 2015). Many of them were reported to may have pharmacological potential as antifungal (Hong et al, 2015), antiviral (Moghadamtousi, Nikzad, Kadir, Abubakar & Zandi, 2015), and cytotoxic (Cao et al, 2015). On the other hand, fungi are also known for their pathogenic characteristics.…”

“…Genomic DNA samples were extracted from dry specimens with the AccuPrep Genomic DNA Extraction Kit (Bioneer, Daejeon, Korea). PCR amplification of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region was performed according to the previously described method [5][6][7]. To analyze each species, closely related sequences of Gymnopus spp.…”

“…Hong et al (2015) avaliaram 50 espécies fúngicas de ambiente marinho de diferentes gêneros, cujo estudo determinou que o fungo Arthrinium saccharicola foi o que mostrou melhor capacidade para a produção de celulases (FPAse -Filter Paper Activity 0,39 U/mL) (HONG et al, 2015).…”
