Rock-inhabiting fungi: terminology, diversity, evolution and adaptation mechanisms [PDF]

Mycology, 2022
Rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF) constitute an ecological group associated with terrestrial rocks. This association is generally restricted to the persistent colonisation of rocks and peculiar morphological features based on melanisation and slow growth ...

Unveiling the Hidden Diversity of Rock-Inhabiting Fungi: Chaetothyriales from China [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2020
Rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF) are nonlichenized fungi that naturally colonize rock surfaces and subsurfaces. The extremely slow growth rate and lack of distinguishing morphological characteristics of RIF resulted in a poor understanding on their ...

Roof-Inhabiting Cousins of Rock-Inhabiting Fungi: Novel Melanized Microcolonial Fungal Species from Photocatalytically Reactive Subaerial Surfaces [PDF]

Life, 2018
Subaerial biofilms (SAB) are an important factor in weathering, biofouling, and biodeterioration of bare rocks, building materials, and solar panel surfaces.

Diversity of Rock-Inhabiting Fungi in Tarragona Province, Spain [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF) are usually extremely tolerant or extremophilic, as they can survive on natural and artificial rocks despite being exposed to stressful conditions.

Molecular phylogenetic studies on the lichenicolous Xanthoriicola physciae reveal Antarctic rock-inhabiting fungi and Piedraia species among closest relatives in the Teratosphaeriaceae [PDF]

IMA Fungus, 2011
The phylogenetic placement of the monotypic dematiaceous hyphomycete genus Xanthoriicola was investigated. Sequences of the nLSU region were obtained from 11 specimens of X.

Abundance and Diversity of Endolithic Fungal Assemblages in Granite and Sandstone from Victoria Land, Antarctica [PDF]

Life
The Antarctic continent hosts highly specialized microbial ecosystems, particularly within endolithic habitats, where microorganisms colonize the interior of rocks in order to withstand conditions that otherwise cannot support life. Previous studies have

Diversity of fungi associated with petroglyph sites in the Negev Desert, Israel, and their potential role in bioweathering [PDF]

Frontiers in Fungal Biology
The petroglyphs of the Negev Desert, Israel, are famous and valuable archaeological remains. Previous studies have investigated the microbial communities associated with petroglyphs and their potential role in stone deterioration; nevertheless, the role ...

Genome and transcriptome reveal lithophilic adaptation of Cladophialophora brunneola, a new rock-inhabiting fungus

Mycology, 2023
Rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF) are slow-growing microorganisms that inhabit rocks and exhibit exceptional stress tolerance owing to their thick melanised cell walls.
