Fungi in Antarctica (2007, background): “high chill tolerance, freeze tolerance, selection of micro- and nano-habitats, life in habitats with snow cover, anoxia tolerance (being encased in ice) (Robinson 2001).”
Plant growth promotion by phosphate solubilizing fungi – current perspective (2010, background): “Among these, the success of fungi to reach and colonize a patch of soil is mainly due to their competitive saprophytic ability and tolerance to heavy metals (Lebedeva et al. 1999), chemicals/fungicides and temperature (Robinson 2001).”
Microfungal endophytes in roots (2005, background): “Also, the occurrence of pigmented hyphae among a diverse group of fungi likely reflects a common response to shared environmental pressures rather than any relationship among the isolates: accumulation of melanins in hyphal walls is common among fungi of relatively cold soils and may protect hyphae ”
Cold adaptation in the phytopathogenic fungi causing snow molds (2009, background): “Many fungi choose to keep membrane fl uidity for cold adaptation ( Robinson 2001 ).”
Characterization of melanin isolated from a dark septate endophyte (DSE), Exophiala pisciphila (2011, background): “Accumulation of melanin in hyphal walls is common among fungi in relatively harsh environments (Bell and Wheeler 1986; Butler and Day 1998; Robinson 2001 ).”
Endophytic fungi associated with the Antarctic grass Deschampsia antarctica Desv. (Poaceae) (2009, unknown): “The melanin is darkly pigmented polymers that can protect microorganisms against a broad range of environmental stresses; according to Robinson (2001), this compound could protect fungi from extreme temperatures and play a signiWcant role in their persistence from year to year in the environment.”
High-Coverage ITS Primers for the DNA-Based Identification of Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes in Environmental Samples (2012, background): “1 million undescribed species [1–4] in environments such as forest soil [5,6], phyllosphere [7–9], aquatic ecosystems [10,11], and soils of the polar region [12].”
Microbial stress-response physiology and its implications for ecosystem function. (2007, unknown): “Additionally, there is interaction among stressors; actively growing organisms are more vulnerable to stress, so one stress that reduces growth rates can thereby induce tolerance to other stresses (Colucci and Inniss 1996, Robinson 2001).”
Fungi in Permafrost (2009, background): “These mechanisms include elevation of intracellular trehalose, polyols, and unsaturated fatty acids, as well as the synthesis of enzymes operating at low temperatures ( Robinson 2001 ).”
Interactions of Fungi with Concrete: Significant Importance for Bio-Based Self-Healing Concrete (2017, background): “For example, some can be found in the Arctic and Antarctic cold deserts [36], the Sahara Desert in Africa [37], the hypersaline Dead Sea [38], as well as the deep-sea sediments of the Indian Ocean at depths of about 5000 m [39].”
