Phylogeny of rock-inhabiting fungi related to Dothideomycetes. [PDF]

Stud Mycol, 2009
The class Dothideomycetes (along with Eurotiomycetes) includes numerous rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF), a group of ascomycetes that tolerates surprisingly well harsh conditions prevailing on rock surfaces. Despite their convergent morphology and physiology, RIF are phylogenetically highly diverse in Dothideomycetes.

Alteration of protein patterns in black rock inhabiting fungi as a response to different temperatures.

Fungal Biol, 2012
Rock inhabiting fungi are among the most stress tolerant organisms on Earth. They are able to cope with different stressors determined by the typical conditions of bare rocks in hot and cold extreme environments. In this study first results of a system biological approach based on two-dimensional protein profiles are presented.

Antarctolichenia onofrii gen. nov. sp. nov. from Antarctic Endolithic Communities Untangles the Evolution of Rock-Inhabiting and Lichenized Fungi in Arthoniomycetes [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Microbial endolithic communities are the main and most widespread life forms in the coldest and hyper-arid desert of the McMurdo Dry Valleys and other ice-free areas across Victoria Land, Antarctica.

Phylogeny and taxonomy of meristematic rock-inhabiting black fungi in the Dothideomycetes based on multi-locus phylogenies [PDF]

Fungal Diversity, 2014
The last decade has revealed an unexpected fungal diversity associated with natural rocks, often collected in environments influenced by harsh climatic conditions. Yet the phylogenetic affiliations and the taxonomy of many of these extreme fungi, mainly within Dothideomycetes, the largest class of Ascomycota, have only partially been described.

Genomic Insights Into Convergent Evolution: Adaptation to Rocky Habitats in Rock-Inhabiting Fungi. [PDF]

Mol Biol Evol
Abstract Rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF), obligate colonizers of bare rocks, are primarily distributed across two major phylogenetic classes: Dothideomycetes and Eurotiomycetes. These fungi display striking convergence in morphology and physiology, characterized by meristematic growth, melanized cell walls, and extreme stress tolerance ...

A New Extremotolerant Ecotype of the Fungus Pseudotaeniolina globosa Isolated from Djoser Pyramid, Memphis Necropolis, Egypt

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Most of the rock-inhabiting fungi are meristematic and melanized microorganisms often associated with monument biodeterioration. In previous microbial profiling of the Egyptian Djoser pyramid, a Pseudotaeniolina globosa isolate was found.

Characterization of the Community of Black Meristematic Fungi Inhabiting the External White Marble of the Florence Cathedral

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Meristematic black fungi are a highly damaging group of microorganisms responsible for the deterioration of outdoor exposed monuments. Their resilience to various stresses poses significant challenges for removal efforts.

Extremus adstrictus from a dolomite wall in Poland: the first report outside Mallorca

Plant and Fungal Systematics, 2020
Most species belonging to the Extremaceae family are rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF), which have a deteriorative potential towards colonized substrate.

Food-web structure in relation to environmental gradients and predator-prey ratios in tank-bromeliad ecosystems [PDF]

, 2013
Little is known of how linkage patterns between species change along environmental gradients. The small, spatially discrete food webs inhabiting tank-bromeliads provide an excellent opportunity to analyse patterns of community diversity and food-web ...

Culturable and unculturable potential heterotrophic microbiological threats to the oldest pyramids of the Memphis necropolis, Egypt

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
A large percentage of the world’s tangible cultural heritage is made from stone; thus, it deteriorates due to physical, chemical, and/or biological factors.
