The Algae World has been carefully written and edited with an interdisciplinary appeal and aims to bring all aspects of Algae together in one volume. The 22 chapters are divided into two different parts which have been authored by eminent researchers from across the world. The first part, Biolog...
All algae species belong to widespread epiphytic, soil and lichenophilic groups that do not require symbiosis with fungi. Obligatory mycetobionts were not observed during the study. Communities of mycetobiont algae have host-specificity and high geographical and individual variabil...
Interactions of ENPs with natural organic matter have to be considered as well, as those will alter the ENPs aggregation behavior in surface waters or in soils. Cells of plants, algae, and fungi possess cell walls that constitute a primary site for interaction and a barrier for the entrance ...
Mutualistic symbioses have contributed to major transitions in the evolution of life. Here, we investigate the evolutionary history and the molecular innovations at the origin of lichens, which are a symbiosis established between fungi and green algae or cyanobacteria. We de novo sequence the genomes ...
There is an expanding enthusiasm for utilizing algal species for remediation of organic (hydrocarbons) and inorganic pollutants (heavy metals) in soils. Several algal species have been isolated which have potential to remediate the polluted soils and was

Marine fungiPosidonia oceanicaDictyota dichotomaSphaerococcus coron opifoliusHalotolerancePosidonia oceanica leaves and their epiphytic algae Dictyota dichotoma and Sphaerococcus coron opifolius were sampled to investigate their culturable mycobiota. A total of 102 isolates were obtained; after rejection of ...
and on the lower surfaces of many rocks in deserts. Cyanobacteria are frequently among the first colonizers of bare rock and soil. Various types of associations take place between cyanobacteria and other organisms. Certain species, for example, grow in a mutualistic relationship with fungi, forming...
Strains were investigated for growth preference with respect to salinity and temperature to discriminate marine-from marine-derived fungi. Most strains (90%) were halophiles with a marked euryhalinism, while some (10%) were halotolerant. The majority of isolates had a mesophilic behaviour with ...
Munich (TUM) have developed a process that, according to initial calculations, can facilitate economically removing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The latest World Climate Report (IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 ° C) acknowledges the global relevance of the ...
