Funded Activity Summary
What fungal features are key to developing environmental resilience? The aim of this project is to identify key mechanisms contributing to environmental resilience within the east Antarctic soil mycobiome. We will use cutting-edge approaches to perform comparative phenotypic and genomic analyses on cold-adapted fungi against temperate species counterparts. Intended outcomes include an enhanced capacity to contribute substantially to the fungal tree of life while gaining new knowledge on fungal adaptations in a model ecosystem at the limits of life. Significant benefits to the Royal Botanical Gardens and Domain Trust is delivery on their mission to quantify and qualify fungal biodiversity, and building of a restore and renew program that will inform future management and restoration of Australian ecosystems.Funded Activity Details
