Marine-derived fungi: a chemically and biologically diverse group of microorganisms

Nat Prod Rep. 2004 Feb;21(1):143-63. doi: 10.1039/b301926h. Epub 2004 Jan 9.

Abstract

A diverse array of secondary metabolites have been isolated and characterized from marine-derived fungi. The structures and biological activities of these metabolites are presented. Additionally, some basic principles of mycology are covered. Overall, 273 structures are presented and the review contains 162 references
