TL;DR: Six unusual xanthone-chromanone dimers, versixanthones A-F (1-6), featuring different formal linkages of tetrahydroxanthone and 2,2-disubstituted chroman-4-one monomers, were isolated from a culture of the mangrove-derived fungus Aspergillus versicolor HDN1009 and exhibited cytotoxicities against the seven tested cancer cell lines.

TL;DR: Five new fungal hybrid polyketides, cladosins A-D (1-4), as well as the biogenetically related cladosin E (5), were isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Cladosporium sphaerospermum 2005-01-E3 and elucidated through a combination of spectroscopic data, chemical conversion, and both Mosher's and Marfey's methods for stereochemical assignment.

TL;DR: A new chloro-trinoreremophilane sesquiterpene 1, three new chlorinated eremophiles 2–4, together with a known compound, eremofortine C, were isolated from an Antarctic deep-sea derived fungus, Penicillium sp.

TL;DR: Targeted disruption of epigenetic regulators, histone methyltransferase and deacetylase in a plant endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis fici have been uncovered as an unexplored chemical repertoire and the biosynthetic origin of macrodiolide was characterized by isotope-labeling experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, two highly oxygenated polyketides, penilactones A and B (1 and 2), containing a new carbon skeleton formed from two 3,5-dimethyl-2,4-diol-acetophenone units and a γ-butyrolactone moiety, together with five known compounds (3,7) were isolated from an Antarctic deep-sea derived fungus Penicillium crustosum PRB-2.
