Our planet is dominant with cold environments that harbour enormously diverse cold-
adapted fungi comprising representatives of all phyla. Investigation based on culture …

Earth has a combination of diverse environmental conditions, from pleasant to extreme, from
a human's perspective. Fungi are ubiquitous in nature and found everywhere. Low …

Thermophilic fungi, unlike prokaryotes, are able to grow at temperatures not exceeding 62°
C. Their moderate degree of thermophily is probably the reason behind their habitats that …

This article reviews the comparative diversity of psychrophilic and psychrotrophic fungi, their

Thermophilic fungi are a small assemblage in mycota that have a minimum temperature of
growth at or above 20° C and a maximum temperature of growth extending up to 60 to 62° …

The mechanisms of cold adaptation by fungi remain unknown. This topic is of high interest
due to the emergence of white-nose syndrome (WNS), a skin infection of hibernating bats …

One of the most fascinating properties of microorganisms is their ability to adapt to extreme
environments. While several extremes of physical and chemical factors may drive particular …
