Floodplain reforestation reduces nitrate loss through soil microbial pathways

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Reforesting floodplains with native Melaleuca substantially reduced nitrate leaching relative to sugarcane, driven by higher soil organic carbon supporting decomposer‐dominated microbial communities that immobilise nitrogen rather than converting it to leachable nitrate.

Genomic and Ecological Flexibility Shape the Global Distribution of a Black Fungus

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
Graphical abstract illustrating the integration of ecological and genomic data to explain the global adaptation of the black fungus Elasticomyces elasticus. ABSTRACT Black fungi are among the most stress‐resistant organisms known, yet the genetic and ecological foundations of their extraordinary resilience remain poorly understood.

Characteristics and Correlations of the Oral and Gut Fungal Microbiome with Hypertension

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
The mycobiome is an essential constituent of the human microbiome and is associated with various diseases. However, the role of oral and gut fungi in hypertension (HTN) remains largely unexplored.

Diversity and Dispersal of Fungi Along a Subtropical Land‐to‐Sea Continuum

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study investigates the marine mycobiome by integrating cross‐habitat sampling with a long‐read amplicon sequencing approach. The results provide novel insights into the largely unexplored fungal diversity in coastal ecosystems and highlight the role of dispersal, evidenced by the detection of transported terrestrial fungal taxa.

Exophiala dermatitidis, ‘the real black fungus’ fungemia in a patient with COVID-19

IDCases, 2022
The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in India had brought with it a surge of ‘black fungus’ co-infection, which is a misnomer for mucormycosis. The present case illustrates the ‘real black fungus’ infection in a 50-year old male patient with COVID-19

Soil Microbial Communities Adjust Thermal Traits and Carbon Allocation in Response to Climate Manipulations in Subtropical Forest and Cropland

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
Warming increases warm‐adapted microbial taxa and shifts microbial thermal traits toward higher minimum temperature. These adaptations reduce modeled annual soil CO2 emissions by 36%, indicating that microbial thermal trait integration is essential for predicting soil carbon responses to climate change.

Species diversity and polymorphism in the Exophiala spinifera clade containing opportunistic black yeast-like fungi

, 2003
A monophyletic group of black yeast-like fungi containing opportunistic pathogens around Exophiala spini- fera is analyzed using sequences of the small-subunit (SSU) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) domains of ribosomal DNA. The group contains yeast-

Hypersensitivity pneumonitis of a bagpipe player: Fungal antigens as trigger?

Medical Mycology Case Reports, 2019
Here we present a 79-year old man with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis probably caused by fungal contamination of a bagpipe. Several samples were taken from the patient's bagpipe.

In Vitro Activities of Five Antifungal Drugs Against Conidia and Sclerotic Cells of Chromoblastomycosis Agent Fonsecaea spp

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 3, Page 139-147, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic skin and subcutaneous infection mainly caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiaceous fungus with various morphotypes. Characteristic sclerotic cells—globe‐shaped, multiseptated and pigmented—are found in lesions of infected individuals, though their differentiation in the host remains poorly understood. To

Phenotypic Characterization and Comparative Genomics of the Melanin-Producing Yeast Exophiala lecanii-corni Reveals a Distinct Stress Tolerance Profile and Reduced Ribosomal Genetic Content

Journal of Fungi, 2021
The black yeast Exophiala lecanii-corni of the order Chaetothyriales is notable for its ability to produce abundant quantities of DHN-melanin. While many other Exophiala species are frequent causal agents of human infection, E.
