**2. Secondary metabolites and bioactive compounds**

Two new metabolites, *carbonarones* A (1) and B (2), were acquired from the marine-fungi *Aspergillus carbonarius* detached from the marine residue gathered at Weizhou island of China. It indicated moderate cytotoxicity against K562 cells with IC50 estimations of 56.0 and 27.8 μg/ml, individually [23]. 14-norpseurotin A, 29-nordammarane triterpenoid 6β show noteworthy antimicrobial activity against *Bacillus subtilis*, *Escherichia coli* and *Micrococcus lysoleikticus* with MICs of 3.74, 14.97 μM [24]. From the fungi extracts *Ascochyta heteromorpha*, the agent of a foliar infection of oleander (*Nertum oleander*), another cytochalasin named ascochalasin was separated together with deoxaphomin and cytochalasins A and B. Cytochalasins are an enormous gathering of contagious metabolites created by a few genera of fungi which demonstrated diverse biological activities. These compound binds to actin filaments and block the polymerization and also involved in the elongation of actin [25–28]. Three new metabolites, microsphaeropsones A–C (1–3) with an interesting oxepino[2,3-b]chromen-6-one, were detached from the endophytic growth *Microsphaeropsis species* [29] (**Figure 1**).

A semisynthetic dihydrooxepino[2,3-b]chromen6-one 7 was set up by oxidation of the allylic alcohol 1 with manganese dioxide [29]. Marine-derived fungi *Aspergillus versicolor MF160003* for the pharmacologically dynamic secondary metabolites prompts the disclosure of another Xanthenone derivative, 3-hydroxy

and HIV-AIDS have been biological target with restricted accomplishment [7]. A few classes of particular metabolites from marine fungi have a wide scope of bio activities against various activities. From marine fungi, more than thousand metabolites have been accounted which can be possibly developed as drugs [8–10]. The source of these marine fungi metabolites is differed as their natural surroundings have been accounted from different sources, for example, algae, sponge, fungi and mangrove derived fungi from bottom residue [11]. Fungi can also be harnessed as sources of chemicals, food and biofuels when people exploit metabolism of fungi [12]. Secondary metabolites are produced by fungi for different purposes, including threat of different pathogens, iron chelation and microorganisms. These metabolites have been recognized from EDF [13]. Isolation of fungi from marine samples has regularly led to the recuperation of microorganisms, which are morphologically, trophically and ecologically like fungi yet are false organisms [14]. Fungi are generally conveyed in marine conditions from intense ocean to polar ice covers. They are found in a wide range of dead and living organic matter. Fungi have been made with those related with sediments, with explicit substrates like algae, driftwood, corals and specifically with sponges [15]. Reliably, fungi confined from sponges represent the biggest number (28%) of novel compounds revealed from marine fungi [16]. In spite of the fact that bio activities of secondary metabolites from marine fungi unveil clinical targets; they are not well constituted for pipelines of drugs and none of them right now is available [17]. To date, in excess of 180 bioactive secondary metabolites got from deep ocean fungi have been reported. These natural metabolites obtained are generally organic and compounds like Pencillium, Polyketides is largely discovered. These incorporate compounds with antimicrobial, anticancer, antiprotozoal, antifungal and antiviral activities [18]. Indeed, even in deep aqueous biological systems, an unsuspected high assorted variety of fungal species was discovered utilizing molecular approaches . At first samples are collected from the ocean. The next step is fungal cultures and sample preparation. In the lab, sterility was acquired by vertical laminar flow hood and bunsen burner. Cultures were allowed to grow aerobically at 25°C with atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. GYPS medium is used for the growth of strains (1 g glucose, 1 g peptone, 1 g starch 1 g yeast and 30 g ocean salts). Then it is freeze-dried at 80°C. DNA is extracted by homogenizing each sample with sterile glass dabs at 30 rpm. DNA was removed from developed strains with a Fast DNA Spin pack. In Cloning and sequencing, the SSU rRNA qualities were amplified utilizing PCR (primers). Transfer DNA was amplified by PCR at 94°C for 1.30 minutes including 37 cycles of 94°C for 30 s, followed by 48°C for 1.25 min, and 72°C for 1.5 min. The PCR amplification with a last extension step and performed at 72°C for 10 min. The fragments were refined with a High Pure PCR kit (Roche) furthermore, were cloned in the DH5 equipped cells and pGEM-T vector. The two strands was determined utilizing Sequencher 4.6 (GeneCodes), A different grouping arrangement was developed for every phylum utilizing Clustal X 1.81 containing all the databases. After this protocol, 1733 sequences from Basidiomycota,, 4117 sequences from Ascomycota, 215 sequences from Chytridiomycota, 621 sequences from Glomeromycota and 292 sequences from Zygomycota is obtained from various branches of phylogenetic fungal species. Every phylum was then exposed to a numerous grouping arrangement methodology, trailed by neighbor-joining method. Phylogenetic trees were envisioned by utilizing Treeview. The phylogenetic neighbors nearest to the ecological sequence were chosen, and afterward phylogenetic analysis were performed. A different sequence arrangement methodology was performed utilizing CLUSTALX 1.81, and the arrangement was refined by eye. After these evaluation, phylotypes were indicated utilizing a cutoff of 98% (pairwise distance). Then qPCR analysis

pinselin, with five known compounds, pinselin,methyl 8-hydroxy-6-methyl-9-oxo-9H-xanthene-1-carboxylate, 2-methoxy pinselin, aspergillusone A 12-O-acetyl-AGI-B4 [30]. Screening for new bioactive metabolites from the marine-determined variety of *Aspergillus*, an *Aspergillus versicolor DJ013* separated from a coastal, Dongji Island, China. EtOAc separate resulted in identification and isolation of new furandione compounds, named asperfurandiones A and B [31]. Botryosphaerin were detached from the endophytic fungi *Botryosphaeria sp*. MHF associated with Maytenus hookeri. A compound CJ-14445 showed inhibition towards *Saccharomyces cervisiae, Candida albicans* and *Penicillium avellaneum* UC-4376 in correlation with nystatin which was utilized as a positive control [32] (**Figure 2**).
