Whole genome sequencing of historical specimens from the world's largest fungal collection yields high‐quality assemblies

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary High‐throughput molecular studies of museum specimens (museomics) have great potential in biodiversity research, but fungal historical collections have scarcely been examined, leading to no comprehensive methodological assessments. Here we present a whole genome sequencing (WGS) project conducted at the Fungarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens ...

Deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of lichen acids

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
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.

Culturable fungi from urban soils in China II, with the description of 18 novel species in Ascomycota (Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Leotiomycetes and Sordariomycetes)

MycoKeys, 2023
As China’s urbanisation continues to advance, more people are choosing to live in cities. However, this trend has a significant impact on the natural ecosystem. For instance, the accumulation of keratin-rich substrates in urban habitats has led to an increase in keratinophilic microbes.

Long-Term Agricultural Management Alters Soil Fungal Communities and Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Contents in Tea Plantations

Agronomy
Soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) are vital for enhancing tea production and ensuring the sustainability of tea plantation ecosystems. However, research on the dynamics of soil C and N pools and their associated microbial mechanisms in tea plantations ...

Antarctic Epilithic Lichens as Niches for Black Meristematic Fungi

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

Two Novel Species of Talaromyces Discovered in a Karst Cave in the Satun UNESCO Global Geopark of Southern Thailand

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Karst caves are oligotrophic environments that appear to support a high diversity of fungi. Studies of fungi in Thailand’s caves are limited. During a 2019 exploration of the mycobiota associated with soil samples from a karst cave, namely, Phu Pha Phet ...

Skin Commensal Microbiota Does Not Influence the Clinical Course of Dermatophyte Infection in Persian Cats

Veterinary Dermatology, EarlyView.
Dermatophytes can be isolated from both symptomatic and asymptomatic cats, yet the role of skin commensals in modulating disease expression remains unclear. This study investigates whether microbial skin communities influence the clinical presentation (symptomatic or asymptomatic) of dermatophyte infection in Persian cats.

Terpendole E, a Kinesin Eg5 Inhibitor, Is a Key Biosynthetic Intermediate of Indole-Diterpenes in the Producing Fungus Chaunopycnis alba [PDF]

, 2012
SummaryTerpendole E is the first natural product inhibitor of kinesin Eg5. Because terpendole E production is unstable, we isolated and analyzed the terpendole E biosynthetic gene cluster, which consists of seven genes encoding three P450 monooxygenases (

Succession of Cyanobacterial Community Contributes to Bacterial and Fungal Community Assembly in Dryland Biocrusts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Cyanobacteria are key components driving the formation and development of biological soil crusts in dryland ecosystems. Their community distribution differs significantly across stages of biocrust development. The presence of cyanobacteria influences variations in bacterial and fungal communities within biological soil crusts by regulating the ...
