Abstract
Mangrove forests have often been regarded as one of the most productive ecosystems in subtropical coastal waters Sesarmid crabs are important for the ecological functions of mangrove ecosystems because they consume a large proportion of annual primary production 1 2 3 There are limited literature data to show that Sesarmid crabs produce interesting natural products and more recently evidence of the ecological roles of these metabolites To date there are no reports on secondary metabolites of the symbiotic fungus from Sesarmid crabs In continuation of our research on biological activities of essential oils and their components from the high value marinederived fungus the present work focuses on the chemical composition of the essential oil obtained from the marinederived fungus Sporothrix sp collected from Zhanjiang in the South China Sea and their potential antibacterial effects on foodborne spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms
