Extremotolerant fungi from alpine rock lichens and their phylogenetic relationships. [PDF]
, 2016 Fungi other than the lichen mycobiont frequently co-occur within lichen thalli and on the same rock in harsh environments. In these situations dark-pigmented mycelial structures are commonly observed on lichen thalli, where they persist under the same ...

Genetic manipulation of protective pigments in a rock-inhabiting model fungus Knufia petricola A95 [PDF]
, 2016 Sub-aerial biofilms typically form on bare rock. They consist of 99% cell material and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) metabolising at low water availability. Rock-inhabiting melanised fungi represent an important part of the microbial community

Cellular responses of microcolonial rock fungi to long-term desiccation and subsequent rehydration [PDF]
, 2008 Melanised rock-inhabiting fungi are astonishingly resistant to environmental stresses. Also known as micro-colonial fungi (MCF), they are ubiquitous and even colonise bare rocks in deserts.

Olivine weathering by the genetically amenable rock-inhabiting fungus Knufia petricola A95 [PDF]
, 2019 In arid sun-exposed environments, rock-inhabiting fungi dominate microbial communities on rock surfaces. Fungi are known to enhance rock weathering, although the exact mechanisms are not completely understood.

How does light affect rock-inhabiting fungi? [PDF]
Sunlight is an almost unavoidable environmental cue and plays a fundamental role in the biology of pro- and eukaryotic organisms. To cope with sunlight-associated stresses e.g., high temperatures, UV radiation with associated DNA damage, accumulation of ...

Isolated fungi from Persepolis rock, A study to identify biodeteriorating agents of cultural heritages in Iran [PDF]
, 2011 The problem of the deterioration of monuments made of rock is particularly relevant incountries like Iran being rich in such cultural hritage. Stone surface of monuments can be considered as extreme environments that are exposed to high solar ...

Isolation and Characterisation of Bacterial Metabolites as Potential Wood Preservatives [PDF]
, 2012 The durability of wood has traditionally relied on the use of heavy metals and toxic compounds to deter wood degrading fungi. Conventional wood preservatives such as Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) have been widely used to control wood degrade for many ...

Photoregulation in Plant- & Rock-associated Black Fungi [PDF]
, 2019 Fungi that share light-flooded habitats with phototrophs may profit from excess photosynthetic products. But to cope with sunlight-associated stresses it is important for fungi to accurately sense and respond to changes in light.

Mycological ProgressAbstract Antarctica’s extreme environment represents one of the unique habitats where melanised, slow-growing, rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF) thrive. This study characterised 15 fungal strains of the genus Vermiconidia isolated from rocks on James Ross and Tail Islands in ...
