Marine microorganisms have also been reported to produce bioactive peptides, such as marinostatin from the marine bacterium Alteromonas sp. [319], pentapeptides from the cyanobacterium Ambaena cylindrica [320], and new anti-inflammatory cyclic peptides from the marine Streplomyces sp. [321], From the marine fungus Hypoxylon oceanicum, several lipodepsipeptides with antifungal activity have recently been reported [322,323],...

Bohlmann and Weber have discovered in certain members of the Inuleae a number of halogen compounds including an exomethylene furan. Scheme 61 shows the main points of their synthesis of this compound, which seems not to undergo any easy isomerization.240 Yet more surprising is the report that the fungus, Hypoxylon serpens, contains in addition to the butenolide (123) its exomethylene tautomer (124), believed to be the first example of such a compound as a natural product. Since the lactone group activates it, the proton does spontaneously move to produce the ordinarily butenolide (123), but even so the process takes several months in the absence of catalysis.241...

It was later discovered that some soft-rot fungi caused cell wall erosion, in addition to forming cavities (55-57). Today soft rot is commonly used to describe all forms of decay caused by ascomycetes and Fungi Imperfecti. Degradation of wood by ascomycetes such as species of Daldinia, Hypoxylon, and Xylaria is, however, often considered as white rot (58-60). A recent study on wood decay by several species of the mentioned genera show that they have characteristics of white rot as well as soft rot (61).
