Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Antarctica, with its harsh environmental conditions, is home to a wide variety of microorganisms, including filamentous fungi. The survival of Antarctic mycoflora has led to increasing interest in their adaptation. Extreme low temperatures, low water availability, frequent freeze–thaw cycles, strong winds, ultraviolet radiation, etc., are all prerequisites for accelerated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the occurrence of oxidative stress (OS). Antarctic fungi have effective mechanisms to cope with the damaging effects of ROS. While the distribution, morphology, physiology, and biotechnological potential of these fungi are well documented, the role of oxidative stress in their adaptation is poorly understood. This has been one of the main research topics of our team for a long time, and a number of papers on our results have been published. This review summarizes the existing literature on the induction of oxidative stress in Antarctic psychrophilic, psychrotolerant, and mesophilic fungi by extreme conditions. The most recent and relevant studies reporting on the relationship between cold stress and OS biomarkers and the damaging effects of ROS on key intracellular biomolecules are presented. The contribution of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defenses to the fungal cell response is discussed. Full article
