Microbial interactions are crucial for Earth ecosystem function, but our knowledge about
them is limited and has so far mainly existed as scattered records. Here, we have surveyed …

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 …

RNA viruses in aquatic environments remain poorly studied. Here, we analysed the RNA
virome from approximately 10 l water from Yangshan Deep-Water Harbour near the Yangtze …

Abstract Index Fungorum, Species Fungorum and MycoBank are the key fungal
nomenclature and taxonomic databases that can be sourced to find taxonomic details …

Diatoms are one of the major primary producers in the ocean, responsible annually for~
20% of photosynthetically fixed CO2 on Earth. In oceanic models, they are typically …

Mycologists have been fascinated with marine fungi for more than 70 years now. An
enormous volume of information on marine fungi is presently available. We can now say …

Background Marine microalgae (phytoplankton) mediate almost half of the worldwide
photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation and therefore play a pivotal role in global carbon …

Compared to the higher fungi (Dikarya), taxonomic and evolutionary studies on the basal
clades of fungi are fewer in number. Thus, the generic boundaries and higher ranks in the …

Mycoplankton have so far been a neglected component of pelagic marine ecosystems,
having been poorly studied relative to other plankton groups. Currently, there is a lack of …

Abstract The Arctic Ocean features extreme seasonal differences in daylight, temperature,
ice cover, and mixed layer depth. However, the diversity and ecology of microbes across …
