Marine fungi are species of fungi that live in marine or estuarine environments. They are not a taxonomic group, but share a common habitat. Obligate marine fungi grow exclusively in the marine habitat while wholly or sporadically submerged in sea water. Facultative marine fungi normally occupy terrestrial or freshwater habitats, but are ...
Parengyodontium album is a globally distributed fungal species known for breaking down plastics and items of historical importance. [1][2] Discoveries in the early 21st century revealed its presence in marine ecosystems, colonizing and breaking down polyethylene, the most abundant plastic in oceans. [2] Marine microbiologists from the Royal ...
Marine fungi can be classified as: [123] Lower fungi – adapted to marine habitats (zoosporic fungi, including mastigomycetes: oomycetes and chytridiomycetes) Higher fungi – filamentous, modified to planktonic lifestyle (hyphomycetes, ascomycetes, basidiomycetes). Most mycoplankton species are higher fungi. [120]

The Fungiidae (/ fəŋˈɡiːɪdi /) are a family of Cnidaria, commonly known as mushroom corals or plate corals. The family contains thirteen extant genera. They range from solitary corals to colonial species. Some genera such as Cycloseris and Fungia are solitary organisms, Polyphyllia consists of a single organism with multiple mouths, and ...
Marine food web. The pelagic food web, showing the central involvement of marine microorganisms in how the ocean imports nutrients from and then exports them back to the atmosphere and ocean floor. A marine food web is a food web of marine life. At the base of the ocean food web are single-celled algae and other plant-like organisms known as ...
Many protist species can switch between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction involving meiosis and fertilization. [6] In contrast to the cells of prokaryotes, the cells of eukaryotes are highly organised. Plants, animals and fungi are usually multi-celled and are typically macroscopic. Most protists are single-celled and microscopic.
The Lulworthiaceae are a family of marine fungi in the Ascomycota, class Sordariomycetes. [1] Species in the family have a widespread distribution in both temperate and tropical oceans, and are typically found growing on submerged wood or on seaweed. [2] In 2000, Molecular analysis of several species of Lulworthia and Lindra led to the ...
