Thirty-three metabolites including five phenalenone derivatives (1-5), seven cytochalasins (6-12), thirteen butenolides (13-25), and eight phenyl derivatives (26-33) were isolated from Aspergillus sp. CPCC 400735 cultured on rice. The structures of all compounds were elucidated by NMR, MS, and CD experiments, of which 1-5 (asperphenalenones A-E), 6 (aspochalasin R), and 13 (aspulvinone R) were identified as new compounds. Specifically, asperphenalenones A-E (1-5) represent an unusual structure composed of a linear diterpene derivative linked to a phenalenone derivative via a C-C bond. Compounds 1, 4, 10, and 26 exhibited anti-HIV activity with IC values of 4.5, 2.4, 9.2, and 6.6 μM, respectively (lamivudine 0.1 μM; efavirenz, 0.4 × 10 μM).

Abnormal cell adhesion between leukocytes and endothelial cells is closely associated with the development of numerous inflammation-related diseases, with adhesion molecules playing a crucial role. The disruption of cell adhesion directly or indirectly inhibits excessive cell adhesion and thus produces a therapeutic effect. However, there are only a few clinically available antagonists of cell adhesion.

In the Arctic fjords, the marine mycobiome experiences significant changes under environmental conditions driven by climate change. However, research on the ecological roles and the adaptive mechanisms of marine mycobiome in the Arctic fjord remains insufficiently explored. The present study employed shotgun metagenomics to comprehensively characterize the mycobiome in 24 seawater samples from Kongsfjorden, a High Arctic fjord situated in Svalbard.

Postgenomic analysis manifested that filamentous fungi contain numerous natural product biosynthetic gene clusters in their genome, yet most clusters remain cryptic or down-regulated. Herein, we report the successful manipulation of strain sp. CPCC 400735 that enables its genetic engineering via targeted overexpression of pathway-specific transcriptional regulator AspE.
