Polyextremotolerant black fungi: oligotrophism, adaptive potential, and a link to lichen symbioses
Black meristematic fungi can survive high doses of radiation and are resistant to desiccation. These adaptations help them to colonize harsh oligotrophic habitats, e.g., on the surface and subsurface of rocks. One of their most characteristic stress-resistance mechanisms is the accumulation of melan...
