Photoperception in plant- and rock-associated black fungi [PDF]

, 2021
Fungi that share light-flooded habitats with phototrophs may profit from their excess photosynthetic products. Sunlight-associated stresses are however multiple: high temperatures, UV radiation with associated DNA damage, accumulation of reactive oxygen ...

The underappreciated roles of fog and dew on vegetation and biocrusts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 46-63, July 2026.
Summary Fog and dew represent minor components of ecosystem water budgets in most ecosystems. However, fog and dew can play an essential role in ecosystem dynamics and are particularly important for water‐limited systems. In addition to serving as direct water inputs, fog and dew can influence microclimate and water redistribution, thereby promoting ...

Effects of forest management on the diversity of deadwood-inhabiting fungi in Central European forests [PDF]

, 2013
Land use and land use change affect deadwood amount, quality and associated biodiversity in forest ecosystems. Old growth or virgin forests, which are exceptionally rare in temperate Europe harbor more deadwood and associated fungal species than managed ...

Novel Glomeromycotina–moss associations identified in California dryland biocrusts

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 151-163, July 2026.
Summary Drylands, which comprise c. 45% of Earth's land area, host biological soil crusts (biocrusts): symbiotic communities of cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, lichen, and bryophytes that stabilize soil and support key ecosystem functions. Moss‐dominated biocrusts are particularly interesting due to their potential to illuminate ancient bryophyte–fungal ...

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Ecophysiology and biotechnological potential of rock-inhabiting fungi in mineral substrate degradation and conservation

Journal of Environmental Biology
Rock-inhabiting fungi are a remarkable group of microorganisms that thrive on mineral substrates and exhibit exceptional resilience and adaptability in extreme environments. This review discusses the role of rock-inhabiting fungi in bioweathering in terms of their physiology, ecology, adaptations, and impact on environmental processes.

Nutritional physiology of a rock-inhabiting, model microcolonial fungus from an ancestral lineage of the Chaetothyriales (Ascomycetes) [PDF]

, 2013
Rock-inhabiting black fungi [also microcolonial or meristematic fungi (MCF)] are a phylogenetically diverse group of melanised ascomycetes with distinctive morphological features that confer extensive stress tolerance and permit survival in hostile ...

The Lichen Connections of Black Fungi [PDF]

, 2013
Many black meristematic fungi persist on rock surfaces—hostile and exposed habitats where high doses of radiation and periods of desiccation alternate with rain and temperature extremes.

Some like it on the rocks: recurring stresses select for rock-inhabiting fungi with manifold protective pigments [PDF]

, 2017
Black ascomycetous microcolonial fungi (MCF) are persistent inhabitants of rock surfaces in deserts as well as ubiquitous in other wide-spread terrestrial ecosystems including man-made materials such as solar panels.
