Alteration of protein patterns in black rock inhabiting fungi as a response to different temperatures [PDF]
Fungal Biology, 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.

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