Wardomyces anomalus

A marine fungal isolate, identified as Wardomyces anomalus, was cultivated and found to produce two new xanthone derivatives, 2, 3, 6, 8-tetrahydroxy-l-methylxanthone 333 and 2, 3, 4, 6,... 

The species Wardomyces anomalus, coupled with an Enteromorpha of the Baltic Sea, allowed the isolation of two new derivatives of 1-methylxanthone that are frequently encountered in plants and terrestrial fungi. These derivatives have significant antioxidant activity (Abdel-Lateflf et al, 2003).
