Ecological Characteristics of Antarctic Fungi

Doklady Biological Sciences, 2023
In view of the high responsiveness of polar ecosystems to the global climate change, the research of Antarctic microorganisms has become a topical issue. The unique ecosystems that have developed under the severe climate conditions of the continent lack flowering plants but are dominated by soil mycobiota.

Native and Alien Antarctic Grasses as a Habitat for Fungi

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Biological invasions are now seen as one of the main threats to the Antarctic ecosystem. An example of such an invasion is the recent colonization of the H. Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station area by the non-native grass Poa annua. This site was previously occupied only by native plants like the Antarctic hair grass Deschampsia antarctica.

Keratinophilic fungi in the antarctic environment

Mycopathologia, 1993
Results of a study on the diffusion of keratinophilic fungi in an Antarctic environment are given. Nine soil samples collected from as many sites along the coast of Ross Sea, and six dust samples inside the Italian scientific base were examined by direct inoculation and hair baiting methods for soil samples and plate dilution method for dust samples ...

Keratinophilic fungi isolated from antarctic soil

Mycopathologia, 1989
In the present study, 10 soil samples were collected aseptically from an equal number of areas of the Antarctic in the zone occupied by the 1986-1987 Italian expedition for research on keratinophilic fungi. Of particular interest was the isolation of a pathogenic fungus, Microsporum gypseum, from two sites in the base camp occupied by men and by skuas.

Diversity of micro‐fungi in an Antarctic dry valley

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 1991
AbstractThe fungal microflora of a dry valley in southern Victoria Land near McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, was investigated. Samples were collected from introduced objects such as a mummified penguin and spent chewing tobacco in addition to the sparse soil found in rock fissures, isolated moss colonies, shoreline deposit materials, CaCO3precipitates, and ...

Bioremediation Abilities of Antarctic Fungi

2019
As a consequence of human activities in Antarctica, the use of fuels (for transportation and energy production), waste incineration, sewage production, and accidental oil spills are considered the main sources of anthropogenic contaminants in this extremely cold environment.

Antarctic Fungi as Producers of Pigments

2019
Fungi derived from Antarctic ecological niches are a focus of interest due to their extremophilic adaptability. Antarctic pigmented fungi have been isolated from samples such as lichens, mosses, rhizosphere soil of Deschampsia antarctica, sedimentary rocks, snow, soil, water, and zooplankton and are shown to be promising in the production of pigments ...

Fungi isolated from Antarctic mosses

Polar Biology, 2002
Microfungi were isolated from different moss species in Victoria Land. Twenty-eight taxa belonging to 18 genera were identified. New records for continental Antarctica were: Arthrobotrys superba, Conidiobolus sp., Penicillium minioluteum, Verticillium psalliotae and V. lamellicola.

Fungi isolated from Antarctic material

Polar Biology, 1990
Fungi isolated from samples of soil, penguin, skua and petrel dung and bird feathers in the Victoria Land, Antarctica, from Inexpressible Island to Cape King, were studied. All material was collected in December 1987–January 1988. Fungi occurred prevalently in bird dung and in soil, especially when mosses were present.
