Special topic: New Resource: Introducing strains with loosely
fungal-algal interactions
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fungi are associated with various organisms, such as higher plants,
animals, bacteria, and other fungi. Symbiosis with green algae is one
of such interaction. Fungal-green algal interactions are best known
from lichens, but commensalistic or parasitic interactions are also
known.
Moriyama et al. (2025) discovered Monascostroma sphagnophilum
(Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) within algal mats on the surface of
Leucobryum sp. (Bryophyta). They observed interactions between
M. sphagnophilum with the co-existing Coccomyxa sp. (Chlorophyta)
through both field sample observations and co-culture experiments.
Their findings revealed for the first time that fungal hyphae invade
and colonize through the thick extracellular matrix formed by algal
colonies.
Another important contribution of this study is that it presents an
experimental system that can reproduce field-observed phenomena on
algal mats using co-cultures. Since fungal and algal strains are
available as culture resources, this system is expected to enable
quantitative verification of invasion and colonization processes
while manipulating extracellular matrix properties and environmental
conditions. JCM has released the symbiotic fungal strain isolated by
Mr. Moriyama (Kyoto University).
