The fungus Penicillium aurantiogriseum var. aurantiogriseum VKM F-1298 produces two benzodiazepine alkaloids (anacine and aurantine) and one diketopiperazine alkaloid (aurantiamine). When cultured in a submerged mode in Abe medium, the alkaloids are mostly secreted into the medium. The dynamics of aurantine and aurantiamine accumulation in the medium is characterized by the presence of a relatively sharp maximum in the idiophase, whereas the accumulation of anacine in the medium is characterized by an extended plateau and occurs concurrently with fungal growth.

Research into biologically natural substances with antitumor properties, known for their potential to induce fewer side effects and exhibit specificity toward cancerous cells, remains imperative. The pressing demand for novel agents in cancer therapy underscores the intensive investigation of natural products from microorganisms. , frequently isolated from food and feed, emerges as a promising candidate against pathogenic bacteria and fungi.

Numerous studies of microorganisms isolated from the surface of cultural heritage objects, including library documents, are regularly carried out in different countries. Although the micromycete composition in each case varies, some species are constantly isolated. The structure of micromycete communities that inhabit library documents was studied in 57 cities of Russia located in seven federal districts (Northwestern, Central, Southern, Volga, Ural, Siberian, and Far Eastern).

In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh), exposure to volatile compounds (VCs) emitted by Penicillium aurantiogriseum promotes root hair (RH) proliferation and hyper-elongation through mechanisms involving ethylene, auxin, and photosynthesis signaling. In addition, this treatment enhances the levels of the small signaling peptide RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTOR 22 (RALF22).

Penicillium oxalicum, an important biocontrol fungus in China, has been a subject of extensive study due to its role in combating various pathogenic fungi. Despite the prevalence of mycoviruses with double-stranded (ds) RNA genomes in filamentous fungi, there has been no screening of mycoviruses in P. oxalicum.

Auranthine, isolated in 1986 from , is a fungal benzodiazepine. Through the successful total synthesis of (±)-auranthine, we confirmed the refined structure of natural (-)-auranthine. We established that natural (-)-auranthine is a fused quinazolino benzodiazepine dione 1 featuring an acyclic aliphatic nitrile moiety, thereby disproving the proposed structure 2.
