cultivable fungi present in antarctic soils: taxonomy, phylogeny, diversity, and bioprospecting of antiparasitic and herbicidal metabolites. | molecular biology techniques were used to identify 218 fungi from soil samples collected from four islands of antarctica. these consisted of 22 taxa of 15 different genera belonging to the zygomycota, ascomycota, and basidiomycota. mortierella, antarctomyces, pseudogymnoascus, and penicillium were the most frequently isolated genera and penicillium tardochrysogenum, penicillium verrucosus, goffeauzyma gilvescens, and mortierella sp. 2 the most abundant taxa. all fungal isolates were cultivated u ... | 2018 | 29332141 |
