Carbon and nitrogen availability affects biofilm growth and morphology of the extremotolerant fungus Knufia petricola

ABSTRACT Rock-inhabiting fungi thrive in subaerial oligotrophic environments, such as desert rocks, solar panels, and marble monuments, where organic carbon and nitrogen are scarce. We tested whether the rock-inhabiting fungus Knufia petricola showed a preference regarding nitrog...
