Symbiosis with green algae is one\r\nof such interaction. Fungal-green algal interactions are best known\r\nfrom lichens, but commensalistic or parasitic interactions are also\r\nknown.\r\nMoriyama et al. (2025) discovered Monascostroma sphagnophilum<\/i>\r\n(Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) within algal mats on the surface of\r\nLeucobryum<\/i> sp. (Bryophyta). They observed interactions between\r\nM. sphagnophilum<\/i> with the co-existing Coccomyxa<\/i> sp. (Chlorophyta)\r\nthrough both field sample observations and co-culture experiments.\r\nTheir findings revealed for the first time that fungal hyphae invade\r\nand colonize through the thick extracellular matrix formed by algal\r\ncolonies.\r\nAnother important contribution of this study is that it presents an\r\nexperimental system that can reproduce field-observed phenomena on\r\nalgal mats using co-cultures. Since fungal and algal strains are\r\navailable as culture resources, this system is expected to enable\r\nquantitative verification of invasion and colonization processes\r\nwhile manipulating extracellular matrix properties and environmental\r\nconditions. JCM has released the symbiotic fungal strain isolated by\r\nMr. Moriyama (Kyoto University).\r\n\r\nMonascostroma sphagnophilum<\/i> JCM 39663<\/a>, JCM 39664<\/a>\r\nCoccomyxa<\/i> sp.

********************************************************************** RIKEN BioResource Research Center – Japan Collection of Microorganisms JCM Mail News (2025.12.24) ********************************************************************** RIKEN BioResource Research Center – Japan Collection of Microorganisms (JCM) is pleased to update you with the latest information. ======= Contents ===================================================== – Special topic: New Resource: Introducing strains with loosely fungal-algal interactions – Newly cataloged strains (2025.07.01 – 2025.11.30) ====================================================================== +——————————————————————— 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 […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"parent":3314,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"both","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":301,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","footnotes":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"class_list":["post-5512","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/jcm.brc.riken.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/jcm.brc.riken.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/jcm.brc.riken.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jcm.brc.riken.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jcm.brc.riken.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5512"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/jcm.brc.riken.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5515,"href":"http:\/\/jcm.brc.riken.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5512\/revisions\/5515"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jcm.brc.riken.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/jcm.brc.riken.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
