Article Abstract
Background: Acremonium sclerotigenum exhibits antagonistic properties against various detrimental organisms, including bacteria, nematodes, and mites. As the predominant species within the Acremonium genus, it is characterized as an opportunistic pathogenic fungus that commonly inhabits soil and plants as a saprotroph. Additionally, it has been identified as the etiological agent of superficial infections, such as onychomycosis, and, less frequently, invasive infections.
Case Presentation: This study presents a unique case involving a 79-year-old male who developed peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis (PDAP) attributed to Acremonium sclerotigenum. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first documented instance of PDAP caused by this fungal species.
Conclusion: The identification of pathogens is essential for diagnosing PDAP.

This study investigated agricultural saline soils collected from distinct pedoclimatic profiles from Poland and Italy. Twelve fungal strains from Italy and 9 from Poland were identified and tested for halotolerance, extracellular enzyme production, biosurfactant potential, and mycotoxin production. The tested strains were affiliated to 8 genera, with and being the most predominant.

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is an economically important crop, but its production is severely threatened by Podosphaera xanthii, the causal agent of powdery mildew, significantly reduces yield and quality. This study evaluates the potential of Acremonium sclerotigenum as a biocontrol agent against P. xanthii in cucumber.

Thirteen new meroterpenoids, acremorins A-M (1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9-16), together with three known analogues (3, 5 and 8) were isolated from the deep-sea-derived fungus Acremonium sclerotigenum LW14 guided by the genomic and OSMAC strategy. Their structures and absolute configurations were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, Rh(OCOCF)-induced ECD experiments, and a single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiment. Compounds 2, 4, 6 and 9 represent the rare brominated ascochlorins.
