Fungi appear to be rare in marine environments. There are relatively few marine isolates in
culture, and fungal small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA) sequences are rarely …

Studies on the molecular diversity of the micro-eukaryotic community have shown that fungi
occupy a central position in a large number of marine habitats. Environmental surveys using …

Despite nearly a century of study, the diversity of marine fungi remains poorly understood.
Historical surveys utilizing microscopy or culture-dependent methods suggest that marine …

Fungi are the principal degraders of biomass in most terrestrial ecosystems. In contrast to
surface environments, deep-sea environmental gene libraries have suggested that fungi are …

Growing interest in understanding the relevance of marine fungi to food webs,
biogeochemical cycling, and biological patterns necessitates establishing a context for …

Environmental DNA and culture-based analyses have suggested that fungi are present in
low diversity and in low abundance in many marine environments, especially in the upper …

Abstract Knowledge about the presence and ecological significance of bacteria and archaea
in the deep-sea environments has been well recognized, but the eukaryotic microorganisms …

Deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems are considered oases of life in oceans. Since the
discovery of these ecosystems in the late 1970s, many endemic species of Bacteria …

Terrestrial fungi play critical roles in nutrient cycling and food webs and can shape
macroorganism communities as parasites and mutualists. Although estimates for the number …

The diversity of marine fungi is reviewed based on new data on their occurrence on various
substrata, unexplored habitats especially in the tropics, undescribed species, endophytic …
