Abstract
A marine strain of Penicillium waksmanii Zaleski was isolated from a sample of seawater from shellfish-farming area in the Loire estuary (France). The in vitro marine culture showed an important antifungal activity. Bioassay-guided fractionation was used to purify the crude extract. Dereplication by electrospray-ion trap/mass spectrometry (ESI-IT/MS) afforded the identification of the antifungal compound, after a semi-purification consisting of two stages. A comparison of the ionic composition between the active and the non-active fractions allowed the detection of a monocharged ion at m/z 353 containing a chlorine atom, which could be attributed to the antifungal griseofulvin [C17H17ClO6+H](+). Multi-stage fragmentation (MSn) confirmed the identity of the m/z 353 ion of the antifungal fraction as griseofulvin. It is the first description of griseofulvin production by a strain of P. waksmanii and the first chemical study of a strain of this species isolated from marine temperate cold water.
