Rock-inhabiting fungi originated during periods of dry climate in the late Devonian and middle Triassic [PDF]
Fungal Biology, 2011 Non-lichenized rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF) are slow-growing melanized ascomycetes colonizing rock surfaces in arid environments. They possess adaptations, which allow them to tolerate extreme abiotic conditions, such as high UV radiations and extreme ...

Rock-inhabiting fungi and their role in deterioration of stone monuments in the Mediterranean area [PDF]
Plant Biosystems, 2014 Most of the cultural heritage is in the Mediterranean area. Stone was historically the most durable and widely used building material; therefore, the greatest deal of antiques is represented by stone monuments located in outdoor environments. Atmospheric

Microcolonial rock inhabiting fungi and lichen photobionts: evidence for mutualistic interactions
Mycological Research, 2005On nutrient-poor rock surfaces, yeast-like black fungi (also called microcolonial fungi, MCF) may derive organic carbon either from the atmosphere or from interactions with other rock-inhabiting microorganisms. Interactions between free-living rock inhabiting heterotrophic fungi and phototrophic algae were investigated using axenic cultures.

Temperature and NaCl- tolerance of rock-inhabiting meristematic fungi
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1998Black meristematic fungi together with lichens and cyanobacteria dominate the micro-flora of rock surfaces in arid and semi-arid environments of hot and cold deserts. This study shows that rock inhabiting meristematic fungi are extremely tolerant against high temperatures, desiccation and osmotic stress.

Extremotolerant rock inhabiting black fungi from Italian monumental sites
Fungal Diversity, 2015A wide sampling for isolating highly destructive and extremotolerant black fungi was performed from Italian monuments in selected historical sites which include the “Cortile della Pigna”, Vatican Museum and the St Peter colonnade (Vatican City State), the monumental cemetery of Bonaria (Cagliari), and other monuments in the city of Cagliari. Thirty out

Significance and Regulation of Acids Production by Rock-Inhabited Fungi
2015According to the results of screening acidification activity of 24 species of micromycetes in vitro, 18 of them produced organic acids in artificial medium. The fungi from genera Penicillium and strains of Aspergillus niger have the most active production of organic acids. The ratio of acids formed by fungi on a liquid glucose-containing medium changes
