The responses and detoxification mechanisms of dark septate endophytes (DSE), Exophiala salmonis, to CuO nanoparticles

Yihui Ban et al.

Summary: This study investigated the tolerance mechanisms of dark septate endophytes (DSE), Exophiala salmonis, to different sizes of CuO nanoparticles (CuO-NPs). The results showed that E. salmonis had a strong tolerance to CuO-NPs and mitigated the toxic effects of CuO-NPs through the antioxidant system, the expression of genes related to melanin synthesis, and the synthesis of melanin.

Dark septate endophytes (DSE): potential bioremedial promoters of oil derivatives

Fernando J. Ureta Suelgaray et al.

Summary: This study isolated four dark septate endophytes (DSE) strains from plants growing in an oil-contaminated area, and evaluated their growth response and degrading capacity in kerosene and lube oil. The results showed that these fungi have technological potential for application in phytoremediation processes.

Dark septate endophytes: mutualism from by-products?

Anna L. Ruotsalainen et al.

Summary: Plant roots are colonized by dark septate endophytic fungi in various ecosystems. These fungi have different relationships with plants, ranging from antagonistic to mutualistic. This study examines the role of by-product benefits in DSE and other root-fungal symbioses, categorizing the benefits as either by-products or benefits requiring reciprocal investment from the host. The research suggests that DSE could be considered a transitional phase in the evolution of cooperative mycorrhizal symbionts.

No need for speed: slow development of fungi in extreme environments

Cene Gostincar et al.

Summary: Microbial growth is slow under extreme conditions, with different strategies for adaptation. Some fungi exhibit unusual morphologies when adapting to extremes, while others can be categorized as generalists or specialists, with generalists potentially limited by reduced fitness under mesophilic conditions and specialists evolving for greater extremotolerance.

Metabarcoding of fungal assemblages in Vaccinium myrtillus endosphere suggests colonization of above-ground organs by some ericoid mycorrhizal and DSE fungi

Stefania Daghino et al.

Summary: This study used a metabarcoding approach to describe the fungal assemblages in different organs of Vaccinium myrtillus plants in a subalpine meadow in Italy. They found that ericoid mycorrhizal fungi and dark septate endophytes were present in all plant organs, suggesting a closer relationship between ericoid mycorrhizal fungi and non-mycorrhizal fungal endophytes.

Black Fungi and Hydrocarbons: An Environmental Survey for Alkylbenzene Assimilation

Noemi Carla Baron et al.

Summary: Environmental pollution with alkylbenzene hydrocarbons such as toluene is a significant issue that drives the search for sustainable removal techniques. Studies have found that melanized fungi have the potential to tolerate extreme environments and absorb hydrocarbons. Screening methodologies are essential for identifying microorganisms with the potential for biodegradation.

Sequence data from isolated lichen-associated melanized fungi enhance delimitation of two new lineages within Chaetothyriomycetidae

Lucia Muggia et al.

Summary: Lichen thalli provide a stable habitat for a wide range of microorganisms, including a diverse array of fungi. Members of the Eurotiomycetes and Dothideomycetes typically exist asymptomatically within lichen thalli and require DNA sequence data for taxonomic classification. Two new fungal lineages, Pleostigmataceae and Melanina, have been formally described, with the former showing a sister relationship to the Verrucariales order and the latter being placed within the Chaetothyriales.
