Description: Fungi play a critical role in the functioning of aquatic ecosystems, particularly in the biogeochemical processing of organic carbon. Because of current changes to the global carbon budget, the understanding of functional diversity of aquatic fungi is of paramount importance. They remain largely unknown and their study requires novel methods and interdisciplinary concepts. We propose a multi-disciplinary approach that combines the development of new genetic techniques with experiments in laboratory cultures and natural ecosystems. Based on their expertise and the available infrastructure, the participants persue the long-term goal of establishing a Leibniz Initiative for Aquatic Mycology.
