Increased Production of Pathogenic, Airborne Fungal Spores upon Exposure of a S...
Martins, Celso; Piontkivska, Daryna; Mil-Homens, Dalila; Guedes, Paula; Jorge, João M.P.; Brinco, João; Bárria, Cátia; Santos, Ariana C.F.Organic pollutants are omnipresent and can penetrate all environmental niches. We evaluated the hypothesis that short-term (acute) exposure to aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants could increase the potential for fungal virulence. Specifically, we analyzed whether pentachlorophenol and triclosan pollution results in the production of airborne fungal spores with greater virulence than those derived from an unpolluted...

Martins, Celso; Varela, Adélia; Leclercq, Céline C.; Núñez, Oscar; Větrovský, Tomáš; Renaut, Jenny; Baldrian, Petr; Silva Pereira, CristinaBACKGROUND: The impacts of man-made chemicals, in particular of persistent organic pollutants, are multifactorial as they may affect the integrity of ecosystems, alter biodiversity and have undesirable effects on many organisms. We have previously demonstrated that the belowground mycobiota of forest soils acts as a buffer against the biocide pollutant pentachlorophenol. However, the trade-offs made by mycobiot...
