In recent years, mangrove endophytic fungi are increasingly attracting attention of the pharmaceutical community as they produce a wide variety of metabolites that are structurally unique and pharmacologically active. Previous chemical investigation of mangrove fungi resulted in the discovery of various bioactive secondary metabolites including terpenes, chromones, coumarins, polyketides, alkaloids and peptides with diverse structural features. The present report reviews the papers, which have appeared in the literature till now, concerning the isolation, structural elucidation, and biological activities of the secondary metabolites from mangrove endophytic fungi.

Background: Avicennia marina ecosystems are critical for coastal protection, water quality enhancement, and biodiversity support. These unique ecosystems thrive in extreme saline conditions and host a diverse microbiome that significantly contributes to plant resilience and growth. Global food security is increasingly threatened by crop yield losses due to abiotic stresses, including saline soils.

Article Synopsis
- Two new bacterial strains, CSK15Z-1 and MSK8Z-1, were discovered in mangrove branches in Guangxi, China, and are notable for their carotenoid production.
- Genetic analysis confirmed that these strains are closely related and belong to the same species in the family Aurantimonadaceae, leading to the proposal of a new genus and species named Mangrovibrevibacter kandeliae.
- These strains also exhibit unique chemical and physical traits, such as specific fatty acids and polar lipids, providing insights into their classification and biological characteristics.

Under the guidance of LC‒MS/MS-based molecular networking, three previously undescribed berkeleyacetal type meroterpenoids, amestolknoids A-C (1-3), together with ten known analogues (4-13) were isolated and identified from the mangrove endophytic fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae SCNU-F0041. Amestolknoids A (1) and B (2) are unprecedentedly congested 6/7/6/5/5/5/5 heptacyclic scaffolds characterized by two chiral spiroketal centers. Amestolknoids A (1) and C (3) represent the first examples of chlorinated berkeleyacetal type meroterpenoids.
