Six isopimarane diterpenes, compounds 1-6, were isolated from the endophytic fungus Paraconiothyrium sp. MY-42. Compound 1 possesses a 19-glucopyranosyloxy group. Its structure was first elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis and finally confirmed by X-ray crystallography, whereas structures 2-6 were mainly elucidated based on the analysis of spectroscopic evidence. Compounds 2 and 3 showed moderate cytotoxicities against the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL60 (IC₅₀ 6.7 μM value for 2 and 9.8 μM for 3).

Introduction: Exploring the interactions between dark septate endophytes (DSE) in plant roots across diverse heavy metal habitats-considering host plants, site characteristics, and microbial communities-provides insights into the distribution patterns of DSE in metal-rich environments and their mechanisms for developing heavy metal resistance.
Methods: This study collected samples of three common plant species (, PA, , SV, and , AA) and their corresponding soil samples from three heavy metal-contaminated sites: Baiyang Lake, BY, Fengfeng mining area, FF, and Huangdao, HD. Utilizing high-throughput sequencing and physicochemical analysis methods, the biological and abiotic factors affecting DSE colonization and distribution in the roots were investigated.

Introduction: Fungal endophytes have mutualistic associations with the plant's host, communicating through genetic and metabolic processes. As a result, they gain the ability to generate therapeutically effective metabolites and their derivatives.
Methods: The current study aims to assess antioxidant potential along with the identification of robust metabolites within the crude extract of a potent endophytic fungus Xylaria ellisii isolated from leaf tissues of the Acorus calamus Linn plant.

The fungal genus Fusarium is a treasure-trove of structurally diverse secondary metabolites, contributed greatly by marine-derived strains. A new cedrane sesquiterpene, fusacedrol (1), and a new fusarin member, fusarin M (2), were isolated from F. graminearum 12Ⅱ2N that was isolated as an endophyte from the marine brown alga Sargassum sp.

Eleven cytochalasans (1-11), including six undescribed analogues (1-3 and 5-7) and a new natural product (4), were obtained from the endophytic fungus Boeremia exigua. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by a combination of extensive spectroscopic techniques, electron circular dichroism (ECD), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Boerelasin E (1) represented the first cytochalasan possessing a cis-configured Δ double bond.
