Sterols, essential lipids of most eukaryotic cells, ensure important structural and signaling
functions. The selection pressure that has led to different dominant sterols in the three …

Background Microsporidia is one of the taxa that have experienced the most dramatic
taxonomic reclassifications. Once thought to be among the earliest diverging eukaryotes, the …

Molecular data form an important research tool in most branches of mycology. A non-trivial
proportion of the public fungal DNA sequences are, however, compromised in terms of …

Organismal phylogeny provides a crucial evolutionary framework for many studies and the
angiosperm phylogeny has been greatly improved recently, largely using organellar and …

We constructed several multilocus DNA sequence datasets to assess the phylogenetic
diversity of insecticolous fusaria, especially focusing on those housed at the Agricultural …

The robust and reliable identification of fungi underpins virtually every element of plant
pathology, from disease diagnosis to studies of biology, management/control, quarantine …

Hyphomycetous fungi–so called 'mould'–are the most important agents of biodeterioration in
museums, museums' storage rooms, in libraries, collections and restoration studios. Fungi …

Fungi can be found in almost all sorts of habitats competing with an even higher number of
other organisms. As a consequence fungi developed a number of strategies for protection …

Biogenic aerosols are relevant for the Earth system, climate, and public health on local,
regional, and global scales. Up to now, however, little is known about the diversity and …

One result of the recent phylogenetically based rejection of the phylum Zygomycota was the
description of the subphylum Entomophthoromycotina (not assigned to any phylum) for fungi …
