This study aims to explore the antimicrobial, anticancer, and antibiofilm properties of Antarctic marine-derived fungi and their metabolomic profiles.
Evaluated nine fungal isolates from Antarctic sources for antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities.
Used untargeted LC-MS/MS for metabolomic analysis to identify bioactive compounds.
Screened isolates against pathogens including MRSA and E. coli for biofilm inhibition.
Six isolates showed strong antibiofilm activity with inhibition ranging from 81.10% to 98.50%.
Penicillium crustosum (A15A) exhibited the highest biofilm inhibition at 98.50% (250 µg/mL).
Cytotoxicity against HCT 116 cells was noted with isolates showing IC50 ≥ 30 µg/mL.
