New phomactins phomactin H-J and 13-epi-phomactin I, were obtained through the culture of an xmdetermined species (MPUC 046), but not of the genus Phoma, collected on the Japanese brown algae Ishige okamurae (Ectocarpale). The structure, which has an oxepane cyde, was determined using X-ray diffraction (Koyama et al., 2004 Ishino et al., 2010).
