One new alkaloid, named pyripyropene U (), and six known natural products (-) were obtained from the marine sponge-derived fungus sp. SCSIO41420. Their structures were determined by detailed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopic (MS) analyses, while the absolute configurations of the new compound were unambiguously confirmed by theoretical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. Those natural products were evaluated in the antimicrobial tests against various fungi and bacteria, and possessed obvious inhibitory activity against ATCC 29213.

The Nipah virus (NiV) is an emerging pathogenic paramyxovirus that causes severe viral infection with a high mortality rate. This study aimed to model the effectual binding of marine sponge-derived natural compounds (MSdNCs) towards RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp) of NiV. Based on the functional relevance, RdRp of NiV was selected as the prospective molecular target and 3D-structure, not available in its native form, was modelled.

Sponges harbour complex microbiomes and as ancient metazoans and important ecosystem players are emerging as powerful models to understand the evolution and ecology of symbiotic interactions. Metagenomic studies have previously described the functional features of sponge symbionts, however, little is known about the metabolic interactions and processes that occur under different environmental conditions. To address this issue, we construct here constraint-based, genome-scale metabolic networks for the microbiome of the sponge Stylissa sp.

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.
