• Phylogeny and taxonomy of meristematic rock-inhabiting black fungi in the Dothideomycetes based on multi-locus phylogenies (2014, background): “Sterflinger et al. (2012) suggest that in polar environments for large part of the year fungi incur dormancy, a reversible state which stops only when temperature rises and melting water is available, while fungi in hot deserts might profit from dewfall that develops during a short time before…”
• 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].”
