Assessment of microbiota present on a Portuguese historical stone convent using high-throughput sequencing approaches. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen, 2020
A multianalytical approach based on culture‐dependent methods, high‐throughput sequencing, and scanning electron microscopy was implemented to characterize the microbiota on stone of the Convent of Christ (Tomar, Portugal). The biocolonizer agents detected induce aesthetic damages and structural alterations on these materials, promoting the appearance ...

The poly-extreme tolerant black yeasts are prevalent under high ultraviolet light and climatic seasonality across soils of global biomes. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol, 2022
Summary Black yeasts are among the most stress‐tolerant organisms of the planet, thriving under all types of terrestrial habitats and extreme environments. Yet, their global patterns and ecology remain far less studied, limiting our capacity to identify the main environmental drivers of these important organisms across biomes.

Deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of lichen acids. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Depsides and depsidones are polyketide‐derived lichen acids widely distributed in lichen thalli, yet the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for their production remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we investigated the diversity and evolutionary relationships of polyketide BGCs in lichens.

Genomic features of lichen-associated black fungi. [PDF]

IUBMB Life
Abstract Lichens are mutualistic associations consisting of a primary fungal host, and one to few primary phototrophic symbiont(s), usually a green alga and/or a cyanobacterium. They form complex thallus structures, which provide unique and stable habitats for many other microorganisms. Frequently isolated from lichens are the so‐called black fungi, or

Cryptothecia austrocoreana (Arthoniales, Arthoniaceae), a New Species from South Korea. [PDF]

Mycobiology, 2017
Cryptothecia austrocoreana is a new lichen species from South Korea. The species is characterized by the presence of a heteromerous thallus and faveolate ascigerous area (ascomata) immersed in a slightly raised thallus. The species has muriform ascospores, (4)6-8-spored 8-11 × 3-4 septate, (34)36-48(51) × (17)19-23(25) μm.

Arthothelium punctatum (Arthoniaceae, Arthoniales), A New Lichen Species from South Korea. [PDF]

Mycobiology, 2017
A total of 121 species of lichens belonging to the genus Arthothelium have been described to date, most of which have been found in tropical regions. Here, we describe the discovery of a novel Arthothelium species for the first time in South Korea. Until now, Arthothelium ruanum was the only Arthothelium species reported in South Korea.
