Four new diketopiperazines including spirobrocazines A-C (1-3) and brocazine G (4) were characterized from the mangrove-derived Penicillium brocae MA-231. Compounds 1 and 2 had a 6/5/6/5/6 cyclic system with a rare spirocyclic center at C-2. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by spectroscopic analysis, TDDFT-ECD calculations, and X-ray diffraction. Compound 4 exhibited potent cytotoxicity against both sensitive and cisplatin-resistant human ovarian cancer cells and strong antimicrobial activity against pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus.

(±)-Penindolenes A-D (1-4), the first representatives of indole terpenoids featuring a γ-lactam skeleton, were isolated from the mangrove-derived endophytic fungus Penicillium brocae MA-231. Our bioactivity tests revealed their potent antimicrobial and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities. The biosynthetic reactions by the five enzymes PbaABCDE leading to γ-lactam ring formation were identified with heterologous expression and in vitro enzymatic assays.

strain P6 is a phosphate-solubilizing fungus isolated from farmland in Guangdong Province, China. To gain better insights into the phosphate solubilization mechanisms of strain P6, a T-DNA insertion population containing approximately 4500 transformants was generated by -mediated transformation. The transformation procedure was optimized by using a Hybond N membrane for co-cultivation of and .

Indoor fungi obtain carbon sources from natural sources and even recalcitrant biodegradable materials, such as plastics and synthetic dye. Their vigorous activity may have negative consequences, such as structural damage to building materials or the destruction of precious cultural materials. The animal specimen room of the Seoul National University stocked 36,000 animal resources that had been well-maintained for over 80 years.

Overexpression of the PbrlaeA gene of the fungus HDN-12-143 resulted in the isolation of four compounds including fumigatin chlorohydrin (), whose configuration has not been reported before, and one new compound iso-fumigatin chlorohydrin (). All structures including absolute configurations were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic data, C NMR calculations, and ECD calculations. Compounds and exhibited cytotoxic activity against HL-60 with IC of 18.
