The genus Phoma contains several species ubiquitously present in soil, water, and environment. There are two major groups of Phoma, viz., terrestrial and marine. After 1981 researchers all over the world have focused on marine-derived Phoma for their bioactive compounds. The marine Phoma are very rich sources for novel bioactive secondary metabolites, which could potentially be used as drugs. Recently, a large number of structurally unique metabolites with potential biological and pharmacological activities have been isolated from the marine Phoma species particularly Phoma herbarum, P. sorghina, and P. tropica. These metabolites mainly include diterpenes, enolides, lactones, quinine, phthalate, and anthraquinone. Most of these compounds possess antimicrobial, anticancer, radical scavenging, and cytotoxic properties. The present review has been focused on the general background of Phoma, current approaches used for its identification and their limitations, difference between terrestrial and marine Phoma species. In addition, this review summarizes the novel bioactive compounds derived from marine Phoma and their biological activities.

Article Synopsis
- Boeremia is a genus of fungi that includes various species found primarily in land ecosystems as endophytes, saprobes, and pathogens, with one species found in the sea.
- These fungi have distinct features like thin-walled conidia and specific types of ascospores, but identifying them can be challenging due to overlapping traits and similarities with other species.
- This study introduces a new species called B. albae, and documents B. maritima from the Morus alba plant in northern Thailand, utilizing both genetic sequencing and morphological analysis for accurate identification.

Marine-derived fungi have attracted much attention due to their ability to present a new biosynthetic diversity. About 50 fungal isolates were obtained from Tunisian Mediterranean seawater and then screened for the presence of lignin-peroxidase (LiP), manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP), and laccase (Lac) activities. The results obtained from both qualitative and quantitative assays showed that four of marine fungi isolates had a high potential to produce lignin-degrading enzymes.

Phoma fungi are known to produce a diverse range of natural products which possess various biological activities such as antifungal, antimicrobial, insecticidal, cytotoxic, and immunomodulatory effects. In our present study, we have isolated two novel polyketides (1 and 3), one new sesquiterpenoid (2), and eight known compounds (4-11) from the culture of Phoma sp. 3A00413, a deep-sea sulphide-derived fungus.

In the plant rhizosphere and endosphere, some fungal and bacterial species regularly co-exist, however, our knowledge about their co-existence patterns is quite limited, especially during invasion by bacterial wilt pathogens. In this study, the fungal communities from soil to endophytic compartments were surveyed during an outbreak of tobacco wilt disease caused by . It was found that the stem endophytic fungal community was significantly altered by pathogen invasion in terms of community diversity, structure, and composition.
