Shed Light in the DaRk LineagES of the Fungal Tree of Life—STRES

Life, 2020
The polyphyletic group of black fungi within the Ascomycota (Arthoniomycetes, Dothideomycetes, and Eurotiomycetes) is ubiquitous in natural and anthropogenic habitats. Partly because of their dark, melanin-based pigmentation, black fungi are resistant to

Effects of Simulated Microgravity on the Proteome and Secretome of the Polyextremotolerant Black Fungus Knufia chersonesos

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Black fungi are a group of melanotic microfungi characterized by remarkable polyextremotolerance. Due to a broad ecological plasticity and adaptations at the cellular level, it is predicted that they may survive in a variety of extreme environments ...

Genetic Engineering of the Rock Inhabitant Knufia petricola Provides Insight Into the Biology of Extremotolerant Black Fungi

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
Black microcolonial fungi (Ascomycetes from Arthonio-, Dothideo-, and Eurotiomycetes) are stress-tolerant and persistent dwellers of natural and anthropogenic extreme habitats. They exhibit slow yeast-like or meristematic growth, do not form specialized reproduction structures and accumulate the black pigment 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) melanin in ...

Antifungal activity of extracts from Atacama Desert fungi againstParacoccidioides brasiliensis and identification ofAspergillus felis as a promising source of natural bioactive compounds

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2016
Fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides are responsible for paracoccidioidomycosis. The occurrence of drug toxicity and relapse in this disease justify the development of new antifungal agents.

Morphological and Molecular Evaluation of Pseudanabaena epilithica sp. nov. and P. suomiensis sp. nov. (Pseudanabaenaceae, Cyanobacteria) from Finland

Diversity, 2023
Cyanobacteria represent a cosmopolitan group of oxyphototrophic bacteria. Although free-living cyanobacteria thriving in aquatic habitats as well as cyanobacteria in terrestrial symbiotic systems (lichens) have been extensively studied in Finland, the ...

A new tool in material science - Targeted disruption of melanin synthesis in rock-inhabiting fungi [PDF]

, 2016
The ability to survive almost absolute dehydration through air-drying is a remarkable feature of rock-inhabiting microcolonial fungi (MCF), which colonise rock surfaces in hot and cold deserts.

An advanced genetic toolkit for exploring the biology of the rock-inhabiting black fungus Knufia petricola

Scientific Reports, 2020
Microcolonial black fungi are a group of ascomycetes that exhibit high stress tolerance, yeast-like growth and constitutive melanin formation. They dominate a range of hostile natural and man-made environments, from desert rocks and salterns to ...

Antarctic Epilithic Lichens as Niches for Black Meristematic Fungi

Biology, 2013
Sixteen epilithic lichen samples (13 species), collected from seven locations in Northern and Southern Victoria Land in Antarctica, were investigated for the presence of black fungi. Thirteen fungal strains isolated were studied by both morphological and

Fungal Diversity in Lichens: From Extremotolerance to Interactions with Algae

Life, 2018
Lichen symbioses develop long-living thallus structures even in the harshest environments on Earth. These structures are also habitats for many other microscopic organisms, including other fungi, which vary in their specificity and interaction with the ...
