TLDR
The data presented in this review presents knowledge on secondary metabolites isolated from algae in marine habitats, coral and sponge-associated endophytic fungi with a special emphasis on secondary metabolite production.Abstract:
The marine environment is endowed with novel and rich sources of structural and functional metabolites that have prospective biomedical applications. Several marine plants, algae, and invertebrates are known to have a huge number of fungal endophytes. Until now, only a few marine-derived fungal endophytes have been identified as producers of bioactive secondary metabolites compared to the inhabitants of higher plants. These fungal endophytes were recently documented to produce a plethora of signature molecules for exploitation in industry, agriculture, and medicine. Endophytic fungi associated with marine hosts are acquiring increasing importance as promising sources of structural and biological natural products. This review presents knowledge on secondary metabolites isolated from algae in marine habitats, coral and sponge-associated endophytic fungi with a special emphasis on secondary metabolite production. The data presented in this review presents knowledge on secondary metabolites isolated from algae in marine habitats, coral and sponge-associated endophytic fungi.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the marine Streptomyces sp. BRB081 strain was grown in six different media settings over 1, 2, 3 or 7 days and the genome was sequenced, assembled and mined to search for biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC) of secondary metabolites using the AntiSMASH 5.0 software.

Molecular characterization of marine fungi associated with Haliclona sp. (sponge) and Turbinaria conoides and Sargassum portierianum (brown algae)
TL;DR: The Mauritian waters harbour micro-organisms that have successfully adapted to their environment; however, the mycobiota associated with algae and sponges have been poorly studied and are awaiting to be identified and exploited.

Marine natural products.
TL;DR: This review covers the literature published in 2014 for marine natural products, with 1116 citations referring to compounds isolated from marine microorganisms and phytoplankton, green, brown and red algae, sponges, cnidarians, bryozoans, molluscs, tunicates, echinoderms, mangroves and other intertidal plants and microorganisms.

Fungal Endophytes in Stems and Leaves: From Latent Pathogen to Mutualistic Symbiont
TL;DR: It is surmised that endophytes may be as common among plants as are mycorrhyzae, and inducible mutualists grow rapidly and produce toxins against herbivores when damaged host tissues provide new sites for infection.

Endophytic fungi: a source of novel biologically active secondary metabolites*
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of the endophyte and its biologically active metabolites in its association with its host and found that a higher proportion of the fungal endophytes, in contrast to the soil isolates, inhibited at least one of the test organisms for antialgal and herbicidal activities.
