Microorganisms from extreme environments are considered as a new and valuable reservoir
of bioactive molecules of biotechnological interest and are also utilized as tools for …

This work describes the distribution and diversity of fungal endophytes associated with
leaves of Colobanthus quitensis, a dicotyledonous plant that lives in Antarctica. A total of …

We characterized the diversity, distribution, systematic colonization, and xerophilic
capabilities of fungi associated with the Antarctic angiosperms Colobanthus quitensis and …

Endophytes are the group of microorganism (bacteria, Actinobacteria, or fungi) that reside in
the internal tissues of the plants in a symbiotic association without causing any disease …

Endophytic fungi are an interesting group of organisms that colonize the healthy internal
tissues of living plants, and do not cause any symptoms of disease in the host plants …

Native plant communities from arid areas present distinctive characteristics to survive in
extreme conditions. The large number of poorly studied endemic plants represents a unique …

There are many definitions of endophytes, endophytic fungi or fungal endophytes, as
recently reviewed by Hyde and Soytong (2008). Among the definitions proposed, the most …

Microbes colonizing the inner part of plants, viz., root, stem, or seeds, are referred to as
endophytes. Diverse groups of microbes (archaea, bacteria, and eukarya) have been …

This study aims to obtain secondary metabolites extracts from filamentous fungi isolated
from soil and marine sediments from Antarctic ecosystems and to assess its potential …

The presence of fungi in pristine Antarctic soils is of particular interest because of the
diversity of this microbial group. However, the extreme conditions that coexist in Antarctica …
