Biobank of fungi from marine and terrestrial Antarctic environments
Abstract Harsh and extreme environments, such as Antarctica, offer unique opportunities to explore new microbial taxa and biomolecules.

Abstract Harsh and extreme environments, such as Antarctica, offer unique opportunities to explore new microbial taxa and biomolecules.

A total of 711 isolates (240 yeasts and 471 filamentous fungi) from marine and terrestrial samples collected at King George Island (South Shetland Islands, Antarctica) were used with the primary objective of investigating their presence in both marine and terrestrial environments.
