Phenotypic and omics analyses of the Sordariomycetes <i>Marquandomyces marquandii</i> and <i>Albophoma yamanashiensis</i> isolated from estuarine sediments.

ABSTRACT: Marine environments harbor a vast diversity of microorganisms, which have developed multiple strategies to adapt to challenging conditions and represent a valuable source for new products such as pigments, enzymes, and bioactive compounds. From all microorganisms inhabiting marine environments, fungi have been the least studied, despite their ubiquitous presence and great biotechnological potential. Here, we focused on the isolation and characterization of filamentous fungi from marine sediment samples, which were collected along the Basque coast in Spain. Through phenotypic characterization, we identified isolates potentially able to produce secondary metabolites or grow on minimal culture medium supplemented with recalcitrant algal polysaccharides. Based on this screening, two Sordariomy
