The increasing rate of natural resource use leads to an increase in the anthropogenic load on the soil. As the result of industrial, metallurgical and mining activities, excessive amounts of heavy metals (HMs) enter the soil. In addition, they can be int...

The genomic revolution has bridged a gap in our knowledge about the diversity, biology and evolution of unicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes, which bear very few discriminating morphological features among species from the same genus. The high-quality g...

Southern Thailand suffers from floods due to heavy rainfalls every year. Post-flood increases in indoor fungi are a public health concern. Here, we investigated fungal assemblages on indoor surfaces with visible mold growth in homes after the 2016 flood ...
