“…Under ideal environmental conditions, a high number of fungi could colonize and grow on limestone. These results, in addition to those of a previous study that investigated the fungal communities on bare limestone (Gómez-Cornelio et al, 2012), suggest that the species richness of limestone in subtropical environments is high in comparison to other rock surfaces, that have been studied in Europe, for example, and in particular in the Mediterranean (De la Torre et al, 1991;Sterflinger and Prillinger, 2001;Gorbushina et al, 2002;Ruibal et al, 2005;Hallman et al, 2011). Although the intrinsic characteristics of rock, such as its mineral composition, porosity and roughness, have been reported to influence the colonization of microbial communities (Guillitte, 1995;Burford et al, 2003;Lan et al, 2010), the study of Tomaselli et al (2000) did not find a relationship among existing organisms and the petrographic characteristics of rock.…”

“…The composition of fungal communities may also be influenced by surrounding substrates (Urzì et al, 2001;Hallman et al, 2011). As previously mentioned, we identified the substrates previously reported in the literature for the 124 fungi that were identified in our study at the species level.…”

“…The fungal composition was dominated by species of the Ascomycota class, which are common in rock substrates; these Hyphomicetous asexual species are able to colonize rocks during the first year of exposure (Ruibal et al, 2008;Gleeson et al, 2010;Hallman et al, 2011;Gómez-Cornelio et al, 2012). In contrast, Coelomycetous species are known to colonize limestone in Mediter- ranean regions (Wollenzien et al, 1995).…”

Antecedentes y Objetivos: La colonización de los sustratos líticos por comunidades fúngicas está determinada por las propiedades del sustrato (bioreceptividad) y las condiciones climáticas y microclimáticas. Sin embargo, los efectos del tiempo de exposición de la superficie de la roca calcárea al ambiente sobre la composición de las comunidades fúngicas no se ha investigado. En este estudio, analizamos la composición y estructura de las comunidades fúngicas inmersas en biopelículas asociadas a roca calcárea, en paredes de edificaciones modernas construidas a diferentes tiempos en un ambiente subtropical en Campeche, México.Métodos: Se consideró una cronosecuencia de paredes construidas a uno, cinco y 10 años. Sobre cada pared, se rasparon tres superficies de 3 × 3 cm para cada biopelícula. Los hongos se aislaron por la técnica de lavado y filtración de partículas, posteriormente se inocularon en dos medios de cultivo contrastantes (un medio oligotrófico y uno copiotrófico). Los hongos se identificaron de acuerdo a sus características macro y microscópicas.Resultados clave: Encontramos 73 géneros y 202 especies de 844 aislados. Los resultados mostraron que las comunidades fúngicas son diferentes en las tres biopelículas. En la biopelícula de desarrollo intermedio encontramos un alto número de aislados, pero tanto la riqueza como la diversidad fueron bajas. En contraste, en la biopelícula avanzada, los valores de riqueza de especies y diversidad fueron altos, y las especies abundantes fueron Hyphomycete 1, Myrothecium roridum y Pestalotiopsis maculans. Las especies dominantes en la biopelícula intermedia fueron Curvularia lunata, Curvularia pallescens, Fusarium oxysporum y Fusarium redolens, y en la biopelícula joven fueron Cladosporium cladosporioides, Curvularia clavata, Paraconiothyrium sp. y Phoma eupyrena.Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados sugieren que la composición de la comunidad fúngica en cada biopelícula cambia de acuerdo al tiempo de exposición de la roca calcárea al ambiente. Además, como parte de la composición de la comunidad fúngica, encontramos un conjunto de especies poco comunes que podrían ser autóctonas en la roca calcárea.

“…In addition, exclusive in the old biofilm were Caloplaca demissa, a lichen fungus, with cyanobacteria instead of green algae in the thallus and a species of the family Davidiellaceae (with some cryptoendolithic representatives; Selbmann et al 2005;Hallmann et al 2011b).…”

Re-colonization of freshly cleaned surfaces by aeroterrestrial microbial communities is up to now poorly understood. Here, we present a comparative study addressing the composition of algal and fungal communities on a marble sculpture, based upon the analysis of 18S rRNA gene clone libraries from environmental samples. The samples were taken from a blackish and greenish biofilm cover before surface cleaning and 1 year after cleaning treatment, when traces of re-colonization became visible to the naked eye. The composition of the fungal community indicated clear differences between the old grown biofilm and the treated surface. While the former was dominated by the ascomycetes Rhinocladiella, Glyphium and Capnodiales, the black yeast Sarcinomyces was clearly dominant 1 year after cleaning, but could not be retrieved from the old grown black biofilm. The green algal community was dominated by different phylotypes of the lichen algae Trebouxia, as well as the cosmopolitan green algae Apatococcus and Stichococcus. No essential differences in the green algal community before and after cleaning could be observed.

“…Sarcinomyces are black meristematic yeasts capable of producing pigments such as melanin [43] and may cause irreversible damage to stone sculptures [44]. Since many black fungi are pleomorphic and have anamorphic life cycles with widely divergent types of propagation, morphology offers only a presumptive identification at the genus level [16].…”

Abstract:The present study aims to evaluate the environmental effect on fungal community composition associated with biodeterioration occurring in stones (soapstone) at two distinct locations in Minas Gerais State, Brazil: Congonhas city and Sanctuary of Caraça. Four collections of fungal communities over one year were obtained from both research sites from the soapstone block surfaces exposed for over two decades. The molecular diversity profile of the fungal community at the two localities was obtained by DGGE (Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis), and the genomes of the most representative population were sequenced. DGGE showed the formation of two clusters with filamentous fungal communities. Sequencing of the most representative bands revealed the presence of fungi associated with the biodeterioration of soapstone. In addition, many of the identified species were associated with photobionts that could generate lichens, indicating that environmental characteristics affect the occurrence of filamentous fungi, which leads to biodeterioration of stones. Authors' study focused on an environmental variation of an extreme habitat for fungi associated with soapstone in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil and identified the presence of interesting rock-inhabiting fungal communities including species related to lichens, which can accelerate the deterioration of stones by the production of organic acids.
