Although various studies have investigated osmoadaptations of halophilic fungi to saline
conditions, only few analyzed the fungal mechanisms occurring at saturated NaCl …

Halophilic fungi in hypersaline habitats require multiple cellular responses for high-salinity
adaptation. However, the exact mechanisms behind these adaptation processes remain to …

Aspergillus sydowii is a moderate halophile fungus extensively studied for its
biotechnological potential and halophile responses, which has also been reported as a …

Water activity (aw) is critical for microbial growth, as it is severely restricted at aw< 0.90.
Saturating NaCl concentrations (~ 5.0 M) induce extreme water deprivation (aw≅ 0.75) and …

Salt mines are among the most extreme environments as they combine darkness, low
nutrient availability, and hypersaline conditions. Based on comparative genomics and …

Halophilic fungi have evolved unique osmoadaptive strategies, enabling them to thrive in
hypersaline habitats. Here, we conduct morphological and transcriptomic response of …

(1) Background: Mechanisms of cellular and molecular adaptation of fungi to salinity have
been commonly drawn from halotolerant strains and few studies in basidiomycete fungi …

Wallemia ichthyophaga is a fungus from the ancient basidiomycetous genus Wallemia
(Wallemiales, Wallemiomycetes) that grows only at salinities between 10%(wt/vol) NaCl and …

Halophilic fungi thrive in hypersaline habitats and face a range of extreme conditions. These
fungal species have gained considerable attention due to their potential applications in …

Salty environments are widely known to be inhospitable to most microorganisms. For
centuries salt has been used as a food preservative, while highly saline environments were …
