Summary: The present study evaluated the mycochemical abundance, cytotoxic and hemolytic activities of ethyl acetate extract (EAE) from endophytic Penicillium camponotum (PC) and Penicillium fuscoglaucum (PF). The EAE-PF showed higher yield with total phenols (26.59 +/- 1.52 mg of GAE/g DW) and flavonoids (3.12 +/- 1.83 mg of QE/g DW). It exhibited inhibitory effects on the proliferation of breast cancer cells (BT-474 and MDA-MB-231) with IC50 values of 0.112 and 0.120 mg/mL, respectively, while showing no toxicity to normal cells. The EAE-PF also demonstrated low hemolytic activity in erythrocytes. Metabolic profiling identified several mycochemicals in EAE-PF, and molecular docking analysis suggested their interactions with cancer-related proteins.

Summary: Metagenomic exploration of the ocean's Yap Trench led to the discovery of three new monophyletic bacterial lineages named Candidatus Qinglongiota, Candidatus Heilongiota, and Candidatus Canglongiota. The genomes of these new lineages suggest a versatile lifestyle and a preference for oxygen-limited or particle-attached environments. Evolutionary analysis indicated the importance of gene gain and loss events, as well as horizontal gene transfer, in shaping the genomic and metabolic features of these new phyla.

Summary: Increasing evidence suggests that fungal communities are key components of biogeochemical cycles in coastal ecosystems, but the major drivers of fungal diversity in areas impacted by mariculture are largely unknown. A study in Dongshan Bay, China, revealed a highly diverse fungal community with the dominance of Dikarya species and occasional predominance of other taxa. Fungal diversity varied more with season than with the degree of aquaculture activity, and environmental factors like temperature, dissolved oxygen, and nitrite had the greatest impact on community structure.
