Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fungi are ubiquitous microorganisms spread in all environmental contexts on Earth. After having been directly isolated through conventional mycological methods from all sorts of both terrestrial and marine organisms, the recent development of investigations based on metagenomics analyses have demonstrated even higher pervasiveness and the outstanding diversity of mycobiomes associated with plants and animals. At the same time, insights into the biological and ecological assumptions of these associations have started being considered and investigated in more in depth, disclosing intriguing interactions and unpredictable relationships. This Special Issue of the Journal of Fungi aims to put together a collection of both research and review papers dealing with this fascinating subject, to promote the accumulation of novel knowledge on all kinds of symbioses involving fungi, as well as their possible applications in biotechnology.
