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

open access: yes, 2016
Melanised rock-inhabiting fungi are found in extreme habitats and along broad spectrum of economically important man-made materials. Black fungi and accompanying organisms can weather rocks and cause significant losses in light availability to solar ...

Diversity of fungi associated with petroglyph sites in the Negev Desert, Israel, and their potential role in bioweathering

open access: yesFrontiers in Fungal Biology
The petroglyphs of the Negev Desert, Israel, are famous and valuable archaeological remains. Previous studies have investigated the microbial communities associated with petroglyphs and their potential role in stone deterioration; nevertheless, the role ...

Selective seasonal foraging behavior of herbivores on a Danish island demonstrated by DNA metabarcoding

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.

Knufia petricola – a model for exploring the biology of black rock-inhabiting fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Black fungi also called black yeasts, rock-inhabiting fungi or microcolonial fungi are a group of Ascomycetes [Eurotiomycetes, Arthoniomycetes and Dothideomycetes] that exhibit high stress tolerance, yeast‑like or meristematic growth, and constitutive 1 ...

Nothing special in the specialist? Draft genome sequence of Cryomyces antarcticus, the most extremophilic fungus from Antarctica.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The draft genome of the Antarctic endemic fungus Cryomyces antarcticus is presented. This rock inhabiting, microcolonial fungus is extremely stress tolerant and it is a model organism for exobiology and studies on stress resistance in Eukaryots.

Living in the Mycelial World

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Interactions between mycophagous nematodes, mycorrhizal and other soil fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The hypothesis that mycophagous nematodes feed on the mycelia of VAM fungi and consequently reduce the spread of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) infection in plant roots and the growth response of plants to this infection was investigated in ...

The Structural and Functional Diversities of Bacteria Inhabiting Plant Woody Tissues and Their Interactions with Fungi [PDF]

open access: yes
In recent studies, the bacterial and fungal communities associated with plant wood have received considerable attention. Due to microorganisms’ vertical migration from roots to leaves, these communities provide critical links between the ...

Linking Biocrust Architecture and Dispersal: Reproductive Ecology of Lichens of the Grit Crust in the Coastal Atacama Desert

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
Microscopic analysis of Atacama Desert grit crust revealed a sequential assembly process in which airborne fungal spores of the Caliciaceae colonise quartz particles before encountering compatible Trebouxia photobionts. Free‐living algal cells on grit surfaces function as environmental reservoirs for symbiosis initiation, while multiple wind‐driven ...

Utilization of rock phosphate in alkaline soils by plants inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 1976
Interactions between vesicular-arbuscular (VA) mycorrhizal fungi and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria were studied in a low-phosphate alkaline soil amended with 0, 0.1% and 0.5% rock phosphate.
