Research

My research is aimed to study the biodiversity of cold adapted psychrophilic and oligotrophic filamentous fungi inhabited Antarctic environment. Main part of my research is focused on rock-inhabiting fungi and their taxonomy.

  • Biodiversity of cultivable microscopic filamentous fungi from abiotic sources
  • Taxonomy, physiology and phylogeny of rock-inhabiting fungi
  • Study of non-native fungal species introduced in association with human activities to the Antarctic environment
