Mytilus coruscus

C. gigas Qian et ah, 2008b), fermented mussel sauce (M. edulis Jung et /., 2005 Rajapakse et ah, 2005), and blue mussel (Mytilus coruscus Jung et ah, 2007). Table 4.3 presents a list of studies on the antioxidant activities as well as structural properties of peptides and hydrolysates. 

Sculezonones A and B have the rare carbon skeleton of phenalenone. They were isolated from a culture of a Penicillium sp. assodated with Japanese mussels, Mytilus coruscus, on the island of Okinawa. No activities have been reported for these substances (Komatsu et al, 2000). The skeleton of phenalenone has already been identified in metabolites from terrestrial fungi, such as aurantionone, which was isolated from Penicillium aurantionovirens (Ishikawa et al, 1992).
