The Antarctic Ocean is one of the most remote and inaccessible environments on our planet
and hosts potentially high biodiversity, being largely unexplored and undescribed. Fungi …

The Antarctic continent is an extreme environment recognized mainly by its subzero
temperatures. Fungi are ubiquitous microorganisms that stand out even among Antarctic …

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 …

Highly simplified microbial communities colonise rocks and soils of continental Antarctica ice‐
free deserts. These two habitats impose different selection pressures on organisms, yet the …

Microbial communities inhabiting the Antarctic Ocean show psychrophilic and halophilic
adaptations conferring interesting properties to the enzymes they produce, which could be …

We evaluated the diversity and enzymatic activities of culturable fungi recovered from cotton
baits submerged for 2 years in Hennequin Lake, King George Island, and from benthic …

The humid tropical environment provides an ideal place for developing a high diversity of
plants; this is why it is an interesting site for the enzymatic bioprospecting of fungi that are …

The fungal strain, Penicillium griseofulvum P29, isolated from a soil sample taken from Terra
Nova Bay, Antarctica, was found to be a good producer of sialidase (P29). The present study …

While diversity studies and screening for enzyme activities are important elements of
understanding fungal roles in the soil ecosystem, extracting and purifying the target enzyme …

The isolation of filamentous fungal strains from remote habitats with extreme climatic
conditions has led to the discovery of a series of enzymes with attractive properties that can …
