Marine fungi are species of fungi that live in marine or estuarine environments. They are not a taxonomic group, but share a common habitat. Obligate marine fungi grow exclusively in the marine habitat while wholly or sporadically submerged in sea water.

2019年3月18日 · Marine fungi are especially adept at living on or inside other living things like algae, corals, sponges and even other fungi. Even primary producers like dinoflagellates and diatoms are commonly infected by marine fungi, a dynamic that might play an important role in global carbon cycles.

2025年1月16日 · Marine fungi are an ecologically diverse group which belong to the phyla Aphelidiomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Chytridiomycota, and Mucoromycota. They grow on numerous substrata such as decaying wood and leaves, algae, coral, calcareous tubes of molluscs, animals, and found in sand, muds, soils, sediments.

2019年5月17日 · This website provides a search facility to genera of marine fungi, full species descriptions, key to species and illustrations, an up to date classification of all recorded marine fungi which includes all fungal groups (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Chytridiomycota, Mucoromycota and fungus-like organisms e.g. Thraustochytriales ...

Marine fungus are multicellular eukaryotic species found in marine environments. These fungi exhibit omnipresence throughout the world’s oceans and exist as predominant microbiota of the marine sediments as well as epi- or endophytes in a variety of …

2019年7月1日 · Marine fungi have unique adaptations to salinity and intense pressures found in the deep ocean. High salinity stresses the osmotic balance of cells, so any species that live in the ocean or other...

Fungi are widespread throughout marine habitats. Most marine fungi are microscopic, either microfungi, yeasts, or swimming zoospore‐producing groups such as the Chytridiomycota (‘the chytrids’). The macroscopic exceptions are the marine lichens along coastlines. Marine mushrooms are yet to be discovered.

Many fungi have been identified as commensals or pathogens of marine animals (e.g., corals and sponges), plants, and algae. Despite their varied roles, remarkably little is known about the diversity of this major branch of eukaryotic life in marine ecosystems or their ecological functions.

2022年2月28日 · Marine fungi are a biochemically diverse group of organisms representing a promising source of novel bioactive natural compounds. The secondary metabolites produced by marine fungi include terpenes, steroids, polyketides, peptides, alkaloids, and polysaccharides.

2024年3月3日 · Planktonic marine fungi refer to those (in the form of spores, yeasts, mycelia, sporangia or other fungal propagules) that are found to be active in suspension or attached to particles, substrates or hosts in the ocean (G. Wang et al., 2012).
