“…Fungi in permafrost are characterized by both the presence of natural cryoprotectants such as plant substrates or derivatives in these ecotopes and the ability to utilize their inherent mechanisms of protection [7]. Stakhov et al [9] demonstrated that ancient seeds of higher plants constituted a specific habitat for microorganisms in frozen ground, which favored their survival for millennia.…”

“…pannorum is a soil-inhibiting fungus often associated with cold temperatures. It has been isolated from Arctic permafrost as well as the soils of Antarctica, glacier bank soils in some Asian countries (Deshmukh 2002; Arenz et al 2006; Ozerskaya et al 2008). This fungus maintains cell and membrane function at low temperatures by elevating levels of unsaturated fats and compounds with cryoprotectant properties such as trehalose and various polyols at low temperature (Finotti et al 1996; Hayes and Mark 2012).…”

Our planet is dominant with cold environments that harbour enormously diverse cold-adapted fungi comprising representatives of all phyla. Investigation based on culture-dependent and independent methods has demonstrated that cold-adapted fungi are cosmopolitan and occur in diverse habitants and substrates. They live as saprobes, symbionts, plant and animal parasites and pathogens to perform crucial functions in different ecosystems. Pseudogymnoascus destructans caused bat white-nose syndrome and Ophiocordyceps sinensis as Chinese medicine are the representative species that have significantly ecological and economic significance. Adaptation to cold niches has made this group of fungi a fascinating resource for the discovery of novel enzymes and secondary metabolites for biotechnological and pharmaceutical uses. This review provides the current understanding of living strategy and ecological functions of cold-adapted fungi, with particular emphasis on how those fungi overcome the extreme low temperature and perform their ecological function.

The secondary metabolite profiles of the fungi of the subgenus Penicillium of the genus Penicillium isolated from permafrost were studied. Most of the tested strains synthesized biologically active alkaloids and polyketides. A novel producer of fumiquinazolines F and G was found. Species names of the strains were defined more exactly on the basis of their secondary metabolite profiles and micro and macromorphological characteristics.
