Endolithic fungal diversity is present in the unique phosphatized rocks of an environmentally extreme equatorial archipelago revealed by DNA amplicon metagenomics
Key Points
Endolithic fungal diversity is significant in extreme environments, providing insights into ecological adaptation.
Analysis identified diverse fungal types through DNA amplicon metagenomics, emphasizing the unique ecosystem.
Metagenomics was utilized to explore the fungal community in extreme conditions of the equatorial archipelago's rocks.
Findings highlight the potential ecological roles of endolithic fungi in phosphatized environments, warranting further study.
