Species within Tetraplosphaeriaceae have been frequently documented in recent years with the extensive investigations of microfungi along a latitudinal gradient from north to south Asian/Australian region. Both bamboo substrates and freshwater habitats serve as reservoirs, hosting rich diversity fungi that exhibit broad geographical distributions. The most common these two environments are generally distributed distinct families. However, our statistics revealed an intriguingly preference species for inhabiting both habitats. genera Pseudotetraploa (100%) Triplosphaeria strong preference, followed by Shrungabeeja (71%) Quadricrura (67%). Our taxonomic phylogenetic study southern China identified four additional novel species, viz., Aquatisphaeria bambusae sp. nov., phyllostachydis yangjiangensis Tetraploa submersa nov. In addition, thailandica has previously Thailand; however, we once again isolated this decaying Guangdong, China. new findings substantiate hypothesis colonizing will be more evident through conducted such environments.

Resin outpourings on conifers are a quite unique habitat occurring in nature. Conifer resins composed mainly from monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and resin acids which recalcitrant to microbial decomposition. Moreover, exhibit antimicrobial properties. Despite that, they colonised by different microorganisms including fungi. They called resinicolous constitute poorly explored group of the fungal kingdom. In this study, during investigation fungi Poland, seven strains were assigned family Nectriaceae. Phylogenetic analyses combined ITS, LSU, rpb2, tef1 tub2 sequence data used for molecular identification. As result, two new species (including genus) known identified.

Abstract Fungal deterioration of historical stone objects can significantly impact their mineralogy and chemistry, leading to irreplaceable cultural heritage losses. Ançã stone, a unique type limestone widely used in some the most emblematic Portuguese monuments, due its soft, porous calcium carbonate nature, is known have high intrinsic bioreceptivity, being highly susceptible fungal colonization subsequent biodeterioration. In prior experimental study aimed at characterizing diversity thriving on funerary art piece showing visible signs alteration Lemos Pantheon, national monument Águeda, Portugal, several isolates an unexpected black mold were obtained. The detection Stachybotrys chartarum across multiple approaches during that investigation suggested occurrence was not solely environmental contamination, prompting us conduct comprehensive analysis, as this species had never been previously associated with lithotype. Our results proved presence S. , representing first confirmed from stone. Using multi-locus phylogeny combined morphological, physiological, ecological analyses, we characterized these isolates. We also demonstrated biodeteriorative potential through plate assays, along vitro ability actively colonize limestone, without organic matter deposition, under natural fluctuations relative humidity, causing changes substrate. able observe hyphae penetration into calcite layers inoculated probes, mineral desegregation displacement, well putative mineralization phenomena around after 10 months. This provides critical new insights which, well-known toxigenic attributes, adds infamous reputation.

Species within this are natural antagonists insects nematodes, they also combat phytopathogenic fungi through mycoparasitism. This process involves producing lytic enzymes competing for space nutrients. species effective biocontrol agents agriculture have been utilized to manage pests affecting many high-value commercial crops, acting as biopesticide. They inhabit plant tissues, boosting defenses activating genes water nutrient uptake, enhancing performance. Additionally, produce bioactive metabolites with antimicrobial, antifungal, nematocidal, anticancer, antioxidant properties. can degrade plastic waste remove hydrocarbons from crude oil-contaminated sites when functioning endophytes, positioning promising candidate reducing environmental pollution.
