Diversity, Distribution, and Ecology of Fungi in the Seasonal Snow of Antarctica

Microorganisms, 2019
We characterized the fungal community found in the winter seasonal snow of the Antarctic Peninsula. From the samples of snow, 234 fungal isolates were obtained and could be assigned to 51 taxa of 26 genera.

Unintentional transport of fungi propagules to Antarctic biome and the ability to develop at low temperatures

Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2020
Filamentous fungi relatively easily disperse and colonize a variety of substrates, inhabiting various, often extreme environments. Therefore, they spread all over the world.

Metagenomic analysis of a a southern maritime Antarctic soil [PDF]

, 2012
Our current understanding of Antarctic soils is derived from direct culture on selective media, biodiversity studies based on clone library construction and analysis, quantitative PCR amplification of specific gene sequences and the application of ...

Identifying appropriate sampling and modelling approaches for analysing distributional patterns of Antarctic terrestrial arthropods along the Victoria Land latitudinal gradient [PDF]

, 2010
Biotic communities in Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems are relatively simple and often lack higher trophic levels (e. g. predators); thus, it is often assumed that species' distributions are mainly affected by abiotic factors such as climatic conditions,

III. MYCOLOGICAL STUDIES OF THE ANTARCTIC FUNGI : Part 1. HISTORICAL (REPORT OF THE JAPANESE SUMMER PARTIES IN DRY VALLEYS, VICTORIA LAND, 1963-1965)

Antarctic Record, 1967
The present authors reviewed the history of research and contributions in Antarctic mycology. Beginning with the first original study by EKELOF (1907, 1908) on the molds from the soil at Snow Hill Island, east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula (material ...

Culture-Dependent and Amplicon Sequencing Approaches Reveal Diversity and Distribution of Black Fungi in Antarctic Cryptoendolithic Communities

Journal of Fungi, 2021
In the harshest environmental conditions of the Antarctic desert, normally incompatible with active life, microbes are adapted to exploit the cryptoendolithic habitat (i.e., pore spaces of rocks) and represent the predominant life-forms.

Bioactivity Screening of Marine and Terrestrial Derived Fungi From Antarctica

Hittite Journal of Science and Engineering, 2021
The Antarctic region is situated in the Southern Hemisphere. The weather in Antarctica can often change dramatically in a short span of time. Due to these sudden changes the organisms and microorganisms which live in Antarctica produce unique metabolites

A Novel Extracellular Catalase Produced by the Antarctic Filamentous Fungus Penicillium Rubens III11-2

Fermentation
Catalase (CAT) is an enzyme involved in the first line of cellular antioxidant defense. It plays a key role in the protection of a wide range of Antarctic organisms against cold stress.

Screening fungi isolated from historic Discovery Hut on Ross Island, Antarctica for cellulose degradation

, 2007
To survive in Antarctica, early explorers of Antarctica's Heroic Age erected wooden buildings and brought in large quantities of supplies. The introduction of wood and other organic materials may have provided new nutrient sources for fungi that were ...

Resolving environmental drivers of microbial community structure in Antarctic soils

, 2009
Antarctic soils are extremely cold, dry, and oligotrophic, yet harbour surprisingly high bacterial diversity. The severity of environmental conditions has constrained the development of multi-trophic communities, and species richness and distribution is ...
