One new alkaloid, named as acremolin C (1), was isolated from static culture of Antarctic fungus, Aspergillus sydowii SP-1, in an investigation of the antimicrobial constituents of this Antarctic microorganism, and its structure was determined by spectroscopic methods. Additionally, four known compounds, cyclo-(L-Trp-L-Phe) (2), 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (3), (7S)-(+)-hydroxysydonic acid (4) and (7S, 11S)-(+)-12-hydroxysydonic acid (5), were isolated and identified. Biological studies disclosed that compounds 2, 4 and 5 showed moderate inhibitions against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) as comparing to tigecycline, while compound 1 displayed weak inhibition activities against MRSA and MRSE.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored how the Antarctic yeast strain Sporobolomyces roseus AL reacts to temperature changes, focusing on its biosynthesis and the properties of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) it produces.
- Results indicated that the yeast grew faster at 22°C than at 5°C, with notable differences in its metabolic profile, including various sugars and amino acids.
- The EPS produced was characterized by significant amounts of carbohydrates and proteins, showed thermal stability, and has potential applications in packaging materials due to its film-forming properties.

Sargassaceae, the most abundant family in Fucales, was recently formed through the merging of the two former families Sargassaceae and Cystoseiraceae. It is widely distributed in the world's oceans, notably in tropical coastal regions, with the exception of the coasts of Antarctica and South America. Numerous bioactivities have been discovered through investigations of the chemical diversity of the Sargassaceae family.

Anthropogenic activities, especially associated with fossil fuel combustion, are raising concerns worldwide, but remote areas with extreme climate conditions, such as Antarctica, are isolated from the adverse influence of human civilisation. Antarctica is considered as the most untouched place on Earth. Such pristine areas, which have extremely low chemical pollutant concentrations owing to restricted anthropogenic impacts, exemplify plausible model environments to test the reliability and sensitivity of advanced analytical techniques employed to chemically characterise and evaluate the spatial distribution of chemical pollutants.
