Abstract

Stress is a normal part of life for fungi, which can survive in environments considered inhospitable or hostile for other organisms. Due to the ability of fungi to respond to, survive in, and transform the environment, even under severe stresses, many researchers are exploring the mechanisms that enable fungi to adapt to stress. The International Symposium on Fungal Stress (ISFUS) brings together leading scientists from around the world who research fungal stress. This article discusses presentations given at the third ISFUS, held in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil in 2019, thereby summarizing the state-of-the-art knowledge on fungal stress, a field that includes microbiology, agriculture, ecology, biotechnology, medicine, and astrobiology.

Funding Information: The third International Symposium on Fungal Stress (ISFUS-2019) returned to S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} dos Campos, S{\~a}o Paulo, Brazil, and occurred on May 20 to 23, 2019 at the Hotel Nacional Inn. This Symposium was supported by grants from FAPESP and CAPES, and the Universidade Brasil acted as the host institution. ISFUS-2019 was larger than the previous ISFUS meetings, with 39 featured speakers from 16 countries ( Figs. 1 and 2 ), 58 posters presentations, and around 125 participants. Elsevier (Amsterdam, Netherlands) and the Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland) provided the student awards. Corporate sponsors were Biocontrol (Sert{\~a}ozinho, SP, Brazil), Meter (S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} dos Campos, SP, Brazil), and Alder{\textquoteright}s English Services (S{\~a}o Jose dos Campos, SP, Brazil). The Organizing Committee included Drauzio E. N. Rangel, Alene Alder-Rangel, Claudia B. L. Campos, Ekaterina Dadachova, Gustavo H. Goldman, Gilberto U. L. Braga, Luis M. Corrochano, and John E. Hallsworth. The logo of the symposium features one of the most-studied ascomycetes, Aspergillus nidulans, and illustrates several key stress parameters that fungi must cope with to survive ( Fig. 3 ). The Annals of the third International Symposium on Fungal Stress, which feature abstracts from the presentations and posters, is available in the Electronic Supplementary Material 1 .

Funding Information: This manuscript is part of the special issue Fungal Adaptation to Hostile Challenges arising from the third International Symposium on Fungal Stress – ISFUS, which is supported by FAPESP 2018/20571-6 and CAPES 88881.289327/2018-01 . Funding Information: The third International Symposium on Fungal Stress (ISFUS-2019) returned to São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil, and occurred on May 20 to 23, 2019 at the Hotel Nacional Inn. This Symposium was supported by grants from FAPESP and CAPES, and the Universidade Brasil acted as the host institution. ISFUS-2019 was larger than the previous ISFUS meetings, with 39 featured speakers from 16 countries ( Figs. 1 and 2 ), 58 posters presentations, and around 125 participants. Elsevier (Amsterdam, Netherlands) and the Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland) provided the student awards. Corporate sponsors were Biocontrol (Sertãozinho, SP, Brazil), Meter (São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil), and Alder’s English Services (São Jose dos Campos, SP, Brazil). The Organizing Committee included Drauzio E. N. Rangel, Alene Alder-Rangel, Claudia B. L. Campos, Ekaterina Dadachova, Gustavo H. Goldman, Gilberto U. L. Braga, Luis M. Corrochano, and John E. Hallsworth. The logo of the symposium features one of the most-studied ascomycetes, Aspergillus nidulans, and illustrates several key stress parameters that fungi must cope with to survive ( Fig. 3 ). The Annals of the third International Symposium on Fungal Stress, which feature abstracts from the presentations and posters, is available in the Electronic Supplementary Material 1 .

N2 - Stress is a normal part of life for fungi, which can survive in environments considered inhospitable or hostile for other organisms. Due to the ability of fungi to respond to, survive in, and transform the environment, even under severe stresses, many researchers are exploring the mechanisms that enable fungi to adapt to stress. The International Symposium on Fungal Stress (ISFUS) brings together leading scientists from around the world who research fungal stress. This article discusses presentations given at the third ISFUS, held in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil in 2019, thereby summarizing the state-of-the-art knowledge on fungal stress, a field that includes microbiology, agriculture, ecology, biotechnology, medicine, and astrobiology.
