Recent progress in marine mycological research in different countries, and pros...

Early research on marine fungi was mostly descriptive, with an emphasis on their diversity and taxonomy, especially of those collected at rocky shores on seaweeds and driftwood. Subsequently, further substrata (e.g. salt marsh grasses, marine animals, seagrasses, sea foam, seawater, sediment) and habitats (coral reefs, deep-sea, hydrothermal vents, mangroves, sandy beaches, salt marshes) were explored for marin...

Penicillium crustosum: a threat to food safety?

[Excerpt] With the continuous growth of the world population, substantial increases in food production will be required as well as the need to guarantee its safety. Problems related to food/feed contamination have been frequently reported, including those related with fungi and their production of mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites that can cause severe health issues in either humans or dom...

Is Penicillium crustosum a potential ochratoxin-A producer?

Potential roles of marine fungi in the decomposition process of standing stems ...

Fungal communities inhabiting live, senescent, and decaying leaf sheaths, stems, and leaf blades of standing plants of Spartina maritima in two Portuguese salt marshes were assessed by morphological identification of fruiting structures and sequence-based identification based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-cloning analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA. The molecular method enabled identific...

Use of drift substrates to characterize marine fungal communities from the west...

This survey reports the occurrence, diversity and similarity of marine fungi associated with five categories of drift substrates (Arundo donax, Phragmites australis, Spartina maritima, "other stems" and driftwood) collected on four sandy beaches of the western coast of Portugal. "Other stems" and driftwood are composite samples with a variety of identified and unidentified pieces of non-woody and woody substrat...
