Fungal diversity in deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems.
Deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems are considered oases of life in oceans. Since the discovery of these ecosystems in the late 1970s, many endemic species of Bacteria, Archaea, and other organisms, such as annelids and crabs, have been described. Considerable knowledge has been acquired about the diversity of (micro)organisms in these ecosystems, but the diversity of fungi has not been studied to...
متن کاملHow deep are the oceans?
Underwater landscape: The combination of advanced sonar and satellite technology can produce high-resolution 3D models of seascapes like this one in the Caribbean. However, for much of the sea fl oor, there is still insuffi cient data. (Source: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1400/). The 7th International Geographic Congress, held at Berlin in 1899, gave the start signal for the mapping of the oce...

متن کاملEvidence that chytrids dominate fungal communities in high-elevation soils.
Periglacial soils are one of the least studied ecosystems on Earth, yet they are widespread and are increasing in area due to retreat of glaciers worldwide. Soils in these environments are cold and during the brief summer are exposed to high levels of UV radiation and dramatic fluctuations in moisture and temperature. Recent research suggests that these environments harbor immense microbial div...
متن کاملEukaryotic opportunists dominate the deep-subsurface biosphere in South Africa
Following the discovery of the first Eukarya in the deep subsurface, intense interest has developed to understand the diversity of eukaryotes living in these extreme environments. We identified that Platyhelminthes, Rotifera, Annelida and Arthropoda are thriving at 1.4 km depths in palaeometeoric fissure water up to 12,300 yr old in South African mines. Protozoa and Fungi have also been identif...
