Microbiotic crusts on soil, rock and plants: neglected major players in the global cycles of carbon and nitrogen? (2009)

W. Elbert, B. Weber, B. Büdel, M. O. Andreae, U. Pöschl

Microbiotic crusts consisting of bacteria, fungi, algae, lichens, and bryophytes colonize most terrestrial surfaces, and they are able to fix carbon and nitrogen from the atmosphere. Here we show...

The Ascomycota tree of life: a phylum-wide phylogeny clarifies the origin and evolution of fundamental reproductive and ecological traits (2009)

Schoch, C.L., Sung, G.H., López-Giráldez, F., Townsend, J.P., Miadlikowska, J., Hofstetter, V., ...

We present a 6-gene, 420-species maximum-likelihood phylogeny of Ascomycota, the largest phylum of Fungi. This analysis is the most taxonomically complete to date with species sampled from all 15...

Reconstructing the early evolution of the fungi using a six gene phylogeny (2006)

James, T.Y., Kauff, F., Schoch, C.L., Matheny, P.B., Hofstetter, V., Cox, C.J., ...

The ancestors of fungi are believed to be simple aquatic forms with flagellated spores, similar to members of the extant phylum Chytridiomycota (chytrids). Current classifications assume that...

Ultraviolet-absorbing scytonemin and mycosporine-like amino acid derivatives in exposed, rock-inhabiting cyanobacterial lichens (1997)

Büdel, B., Karsten, U., Garcia-Pichel, F.

Photosynthesis of terrestrial cyanobacteria under light and desiccation stress as expressed by chlorophyll fluorescence and gas exchange (1995)

Lüttge, U., Büdel, B., Ball, E., Strube, F., Weber, P.

Terrestrial mats of cyanobacteria with other associated microscopical cryptogams were obtained from various sites in the tropics, i.e. rocks of mountains and rock-outcrops and bare soil surfaces, a...
