Ascomycete Fungi: From Biosystematics and Biodiversity to Biotechnology

Dear Colleagues,

Ascomycota is the largest phylum of the Kingdom Fungi, encompassing some of the most well-known beneficial fungi as well as many of the most feared. The importance of this group lies not only in its vast diversity but also in the wide range of ecological roles its members can play. Ascomycetes are particularly recognized as important producers of bioactive molecules with remarkable properties and high value in biotechnology. This Special Issue in the Journal of Fungi aims to highlight advances in our understanding of the diversity, ecology, and novel capacities of ascomycetes—excluding unicellular forms. Reviews, original research, and communications are welcome.
