Diversity and bioactivity of cultured aquatic fungi from the High Arctic region
This study assessed the diversity and α-glycosidase inhibitory activity of cultured fungi isolated from four aquatic environments (stream, pond, glacial ice, and estuary) in the Ny-Ålesund region (Svalbard, Norway, High Arctic). A total of 134 fungal isolates were obtained from 13 water samples. Bas...
