In an era of rapid climate change and expansion of desertification, the extremely harsh
conditions of drylands are a true challenge for microbial life. Under drought conditions …

Summary The genera Acremonium and Sarocladium comprise a high diversity of
morphologically and genetically related fungi generally found in the environment, although a …

Acremonium is acknowledged as a highly ubiquitous genus including saprobic, parasitic, or
endophytic fungi that inhabit a variety of environments. Species of this genus are extensively …

Fungi occur in virtually all types of living and non-living substrates of Antarctica in different
environments. However, knowledge of the diversity, ecological roles, and biotechnological …

Molecular biology techniques were used to identify 218 fungi from soil samples collected
from four islands of Antarctica. These consisted of 22 taxa of 15 different genera belonging …

We accessed the culturable mycobiota present in marine sediments at different depths in
Antarctica Ocean. Acremonium fusidioides, Penicillium allii-sativi, Penicillium chrysogenum …

Fungi are versatile organisms which thrive in hostile environments, including the
International Space Station (ISS). Several isolates of the human pathogen Aspergillus …

We characterized the fungal community found in the winter seasonal snow of the Antarctic
Peninsula. From the samples of snow, 234 fungal isolates were obtained and could be …

Rock-inhabiting fungi (RIF) constitute an ecological group associated with terrestrial rocks.
This association is generally restricted to the persistent colonisation of rocks and peculiar …

We identified cultivable fungi present in the glacial ice fragments collected in nine sites
across Antarctica Peninsula and assessed their abilities to produce bioactive compounds …
