• Phylogeny and taxonomy of meristematic rock-inhabiting black fungi in the Dothideomycetes based on multi-locus phylogenies (2014, background): “Lithic communities are characterized by polysaccharides extra cellular matrix production (EPS) (Wimpenny, 2000; de los Rios et al. 2002; Kemmling et al. 2004; Omelon et al. 2006), crucial in promoting interactions between organisms, atmosphere and substrate.”
• Dangerous hitchhikers? Evidence for potentially pathogenic Vibrio spp. on microplastic particles. (2016, background): “Being highly heterogeneous environments, biofilms offer important ecological advantages such as the accumulation of nutrients, as protective barrier, for mechanical stability (Flemming, 2002) or the formation of micro-consortia of different species that orchestrate the degradation of complex substra”
