Two marine-derived bacteria, Bacillus paralicheniformis (HR-1) and Bacillus haynesii (HR-5), were isolated from sediments and identified using 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplification and sequencing as well as biochemical analysis. The development of a bacterial consortium (HR-1 & HR-5) from these two bacteria was used to increase the production of the protease enzyme under various conditions, including fermentation media, carbon and nitrogen sources (1% w/v), different pH levels, incubation time, and the obtained enzyme, were detected using SDS-PAGE followed by purification. Bacterial consortium HR-1 & HR-5 exhibited maximum protease production (330.

Marine fungal natural products (MFNPs) are a vital source of pharmaceuticals, primarily synthesized by relevant biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). However, many of these BGCs remain silent under standard laboratory culture conditions, delaying the development of novel drugs from MFNPs to some extent. This review highlights recent efforts in genome mining and biosynthetic pathways of bioactive natural products from marine fungi, focusing on methods such as bioinformatics analysis, gene knockout, and heterologous expression to identify relevant BGCs and elucidate the biosynthetic pathways and enzyme functions of MFNPs.

Two new compounds including one benzaldehyde () and one azaphilone () were isolated from the marine-derived fungus PSU-AMF89 together with nine known compounds (-). Their structures were determined by spectroscopic evidences. The absolute configuration of was established by comparison of the ECD data with those of the previously reported data of compound as well as the biosynthetic consideration.

Overexpression of a global transcriptional regulator LaeA was performed to awaken cryptic biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in a marine sponge-derived fungus, Aspergillus niger L14, to obtain secondary metabolites (SMs), and resulted in the production of five previously undiscovered SMs in the wild-type strain, including three cyclic lipopeptides aspochracin (1), JBIR-15 (2) sclerotiotide C (3), kojic acid (4) and penicillic acid (5). Bioassays revealed that compound 2 displayed promising antimicrobial effects on Candida albicans with a minimum inhibitory concentration value of 32 µg/mL and 4 exhibited significant antioxidant activity with a similar half-maximal inhibitory concentration value (5 µg/mL) to that of ascorbic acid. Transcriptome analysis results indicated that the overexpression of LaeA in strain L14 remarkably enhanced the expression of genes involved in polyketide synthase-non-ribosomal peptide synthetase hybrids and amino acid metabolism, demonstrating an effective approach for the production of cyclic lipopeptides.
