Antarctic Epilithic Lichens as Niches for Black Meristematic Fungi [PDF]
Biology, 2013 Sixteen epilithic lichen samples (13 species), collected from seven locations in Northern and Southern Victoria Land in Antarctica, were investigated for the presence of black fungi. Thirteen fungal strains isolated were studied by both morphological and

Antarctic fungi applied to textile dye bioremediation [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 Antarctica has one of the most hostile conditions on the planet. The environmental characteristics found in this region favor the development of extremophile microorganisms, which are poorly explored biotechnologically. In this context, this study aimed at selectively isolating fungi with potential for the bioremediation of a textile dye. A total of 11

Biobank of fungi from marine and terrestrial Antarctic environments [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023 Harsh and extreme environments, such as Antarctica, offer unique opportunities to explore new microbial taxa and biomolecules. Given the limited knowledge on microbial diversity, this study aimed to compile, analyze and compare a subset of the biobank of

Biodiversity and Bioprospecting of Fungal Endophytes from the Antarctic Plant Colobanthus quitensis [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Microorganisms from extreme environments are considered as a new and valuable reservoir of bioactive molecules of biotechnological interest and are also utilized as tools for enhancing tolerance to (a)biotic stresses in crops.

Nematophagous Fungi from the Maritime Antarctic
Oikos, 1982 Eighteen taxa of terrestrial predacious fungi (nematode-trapping species and endozoic parasites of nematodes) are reported from the maritime Antarctic (15 taxa from Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, and ten taxa from Galindez Island, Argentine Islands).

Biodiversity and enzymes bioprospection of Antarctic filamentous fungi [PDF]
Antarctic Science, 2018 AbstractAntarctica is one of the most suitable locations for the bioprospecting of psychrotrophic fungi, which play a key role in the nutrient cycle and organic material mineralization in cold environments. These actions mainly take place via the production of several cold-active extracellular enzymes.

The distribution of nematophagous fungi in the maritime Antarctic
Mycopathologia, 1984 Endoparasitic and predatory nematophagous fungi are widely distributed throughout the maritime Antarctic, being recorded along the Antarctic Peninsula as far south as 68° S. Fungi were recorded from 71% of the sites examined with Cephalosporium balanoides and Dactylaria gracilis being the commonest recorded endoparasite and predator, respectively ...
