Index
Luiz Henrique Rosa is Professor at the Department of Microbiology at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. He has been working on Antarctic microorganisms since 2016, and has taken part in more than ten scientific expeditions to Antarctica. He is the head of the Brazilian Antarctic Program and coordinates the project Antarctic Mycology (MycoAntar): diversity and biotechnology of extremophile fungi from Antarctica.
The first book dedicated to the Antarctic mycology
Describes fungal occurrence in non-living and living substrates and habitats
Focuses on the diversity, ecology and biotechnology of the Antarctic fungi
