Evolution and adaptation of fungi at boundaries of life (2007, background): “However, it is now clear that many eukaryotes are able to live or even thrive in different extreme environments (Amaral Zettler et al., 2002) and, among them, black meristematic fungi are one of the most interesting examples (Gunde-Cimerman et al., 2005; Sterflinger, 2005).”
Phylogeny and taxonomy of meristematic rock-inhabiting black fungi in the Dothideomycetes based on multi-locus phylogenies (2014, background): “Physical conditions are characterized by wide and constant changes (Gorbushina, 2007) and all these combined stress factors involve an high selective pressure which limits the successful development of cosmopolitan organisms (Sterflinger, 2005).”
Fungi in Antarctica (2007, background): “Therefore the melanized thick walls they express as a stable character are considered a highly effective UV defence strategy (Selbmann et al. 2005; Sterflinger 2005).”
Weathering and Deterioration (2011, background): “Nevertheless, stone is inhabited by microorganisms in all climate regions of the earth ranging from the cold Antarctic, through temperate and tropical areas to the hot deserts and including rocky shores in all places (Warscheid and Braams 2000, Selbmann et al. 2005, Sterflinger 2005).”
