Article Synopsis
  • Austin was first identified as a unique polyisoprenoid mycotoxin in 1976, leading to the discovery of various new austin-type meroterpenoids (ATMTs) over the years.
  • A review covers 104 novel ATMTs found in five genera of fungi from both terrestrial and marine environments from 1976 to early 2023, highlighting that two genera are responsible for the majority of these compounds.
  • Approximately 26.9% of the identified ATMTs show significant biological activities, including insecticidal and antibacterial effects, and the review emphasizes the importance of understanding their chemical diversity and the fungi sources for further research.
