• Psoroma capense and P. esterhuyseniae (Pannariaceae), two new alpine species from South Africa 

      Elvebakk, Arve; Hong, Soon Gyu; Park, Chae Haeng; Rämä, Teppo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-11)
      The new species <i>Psoroma capense</i> and <i>P. esterhuyseniae</i> are described from four alpine localities in the Western Cape Province of South Africa and are the only known <i>Psoroma</i> species from Africa. The specimens were all collected from moist sites near watercourses, on cool and mostly south-facing cliffs. <i>Psoroma capense</i> resembles <i>P. tenue</i> in gross morphology but differs ...
    • Recent progress in marine mycological research in different countries, and prospects for future developments worldwide

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-27)
      Early research on marine fungi was mostly descriptive, with an emphasis on their diversity and taxonomy, especially of those collected at rocky shores on seaweeds and driftwood. Subsequently, further substrata (e.g. salt marsh grasses, marine animals, seagrasses, sea foam, seawater, sediment) and habitats (coral reefs, deep-sea, hydrothermal vents, mangroves, sandy beaches, salt marshes) were explored ...
    • Redisposition of acremonium-like fungi in Hypocreales 

      Hou, Lingwei; Giraldo, Alejandra; Groenewald, Johannes Zacharias Ewald; Rämä, Teppo; Summerbell, R.C.; Huang, G.Z.; Cai, Lei; Crous, Pedro Willem (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-02)
      Acremonium is acknowledged as a highly ubiquitous genus including saprobic, parasitic, or endophytic fungi that inhabit a variety of environments. Species of this genus are extensively exploited in industrial, commercial, pharmaceutical, and biocontrol applications, and proved to be a rich source of novel and bioactive secondary metabolites. Acremonium has been recognised as a taxonomically difficult ...
    • Shedding new light on the diet of Norwegian lemmings: DNA metabarcoding of stomach content 

      Soininen, Eeva Marjatta; Zinger, Lucie; Gielly, Ludovic; Bellemain, Eva; Bråthen, Kari Anne; Brochmann, Christian; Epp, Laura; Gusarova, Galina; Hassel, Kristian; Henden, John-André; Killengreen, Siw Turid; Rämä, Teppo; Stenøien, Hans; Yoccoz, Nigel; Ims, Rolf Anker (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Lemmings are key herbivores in many arctic food webs, and their population dynamics have major impacts on the functioning of tundra systems. However, current knowledge of lemming diet is limited, hampering evaluation of lemming–vegetation interactions. This lack of knowledge is mainly due to methodological challenges, as previously used microhistological methods result in large proportions of poorly ...
    • Two Novel Lyso-Ornithine Lipids Isolated from an Arctic Marine Lacinutrix sp. Bacterium 

      Kristoffersen, Venke; Jenssen, Marte; Raid Jawad, Heba; Isaksson, Johan; Hansen, Espen; Rämä, Teppo; Østnes Hansen, Kine; Andersen, Jeanette Hammer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-31)
      The Lacinutrix genus was discovered in 2005 and includes 12 Gram-negative bacterial species. To the best of our knowledge, the secondary metabolite production potential of this genus has not been explored before, and examination of Lacinutrix species may reveal novel chemistry. As part of a screening project of Arctic marine bacteria, the Lacinutrix sp. strain M09B143 was cultivated, extracted, ...
