Antarctolichenia onofrii gen. nov. sp. nov. from Antarctic Endolithic Communities Untangles the Evolution of Rock-Inhabiting and Lichenized Fungi in Arthoniomycetes [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Microbial endolithic communities are the main and most widespread life forms in the coldest and hyper-arid desert of the McMurdo Dry Valleys and other ice-free areas across Victoria Land, Antarctica.

What matters most? Assessment of within-canopy factors influencing the needle microbiome of the model conifer, Pinus radiata [PDF]

Environmental Microbiome, 2023
The assembly and function of the phyllosphere microbiome is important to the overall fitness of plants and, thereby, the ecosystems they inhabit. Presently, model systems for tree phyllosphere microbiome studies are lacking, yet forests resilient to ...

Galbinothrix , a new monotypic genus of Chrysotrichaceae ( Arthoniomycetes ) lacking pulvinic acid derivatives

Plant and Fungal Systematics, 2018
Galbinothrix caesiopruinosa is described from Japan and Korea. The new genus and species is placed in Chrysotrichaceae by its ascoma morphology and by a phylogenetic analysis of mtSSU and nLSU sequence data using Bayesian and maximum likelihood ...

High-level phylogenetic relationships within Pezizomycotina revisited [PDF]

IMA Fungus
Here, we re-examine the high level phylogeny of Pezizomycotina with special attention to the recently proposed phylogenomic hypothesis (Díaz-Escandón et al.

Semilichen, an unjustly neglected symbiotic system between green biofilms and true lichens [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Symbiotic systems of photosynthetic microorganisms and fungi are widespread in terrestrial biomes and lichens are probably the most advanced and complex.

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

Shed Light in the DaRk LineagES of the Fungal Tree of Life—STRES [PDF]

Life, 2020
The polyphyletic group of black fungi within the Ascomycota (Arthoniomycetes, Dothideomycetes, and Eurotiomycetes) is ubiquitous in natural and anthropogenic habitats. Partly because of their dark, melanin-based pigmentation, black fungi are resistant to

Exploring the lichenization continuum through the marine tripartite symbiosis of Collemopsidium pelvetiae. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Symbioses between lichen‐forming fungi and brown algae (phaeophytes) are extremely rare. We investigated the interactions between the marine fungus Collemopsidium pelvetiae and its two photosynthetic partners, the brown alga Pelvetia canaliculata and a cyanobacterial symbiont to address questions on symbiosis biology, lichenization ...

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.
