Summary:Mangroves are highly productive ecosystems that support a diverse range of plant, animal, and microorganism species, especially fungi. This ecosystem is characterized as a transition zone between sea and land which is interesting because this environment can be considered an extreme environment due to the peculiar characteristics that it can exhibit, which is interesting for the establishment of diverse fungal species with great biotechnological potential, these habitats are relevant for the bioprospecting of interesting secondary-metabolite-producing fungi. Fungi play an essential role in maintaining this environment and also represent a rich source of structurally diverse antimicrobial compounds. This review summarizes antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral chemicals produced by soil/sediment-derived mangrove fungi from 1990 to 2022.
