Annotation -
Course on Fungal Ecology is focused on a comprehensive understanding of the ecological and biochemical interactions of fungi in various ecosystems. Students will learn about chemical and trophic interactions, secondary metabolites, and the roles of fungi in the decomposition of organic material. Furthermore, the course will explore specific interactions of fungi with microorganisms, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates, including their impact on microbiomes and biotechnological applications. The course will also cover pathogenic aspects of fungi, diversity and biogeography, as well as the adaptations of fungi to extreme habitats.

Requirements to the exam - Czech

Zkouška je písemná. Student si předem vybere ze zveřejněného seznamu jednu otázku a připraví si ji před příchodem na vlastní zkouškou (tedy doma a ne až na "potítku"). Druhou otázku určí pedagog, vychází přitom z jiného tématického okruhu.

Ke zkoušce jsou požadovány ucelené a logicky řazené odpovědi na otázky, orientace v odborné terminologii a odborných názvech hub a syntéza problematiky probírané v rámci odlišných lekcí. Rozsah odpovídá přednášené látce, doplňující informace z literatury jsou ale vítány.

Na zpracování otázek je cca 45 - 60 min.

Syllabus -
  1. Chemical Interactions and Secondary Metabolites of Fungi: Study of chemical processes and natural compounds produced by fungi that play a key role in their interactions with the environment and other organisms (Adéla Čmoková).

  2. Trophic Interactions and Waste Decomposition: Analysis of the role of fungi as decomposers and their significance in trophic networks (Karel Švec).

  3. Interactions of Fungi with Microorganisms: Examination of symbiotic and antagonistic relationships between fungi and microorganisms, with an emphasis on lichens as an example of holobionts. Diversity of forest lichens in relation to other forest organisms (Jiří Malíček, Ivana Černajová).

  4. Interactions of Fungi with Plants – Mycorrhiza: Study of mycorrhizal relationships and their impact on plant growth and ecosystem processes (Petr Kohout).

  5. Interactions of Fungi with Invertebrates: Relationships between fungi and invertebrates, including mutualistic and parasitic interactions (Miroslav Kolařík).

  6. Interactions with Vertebrates – Gut and Skin Mycobiome: Research on the role of fungi in the microbiomes of vertebrates, their impact on health, and potential biotechnological applications (Alena Čejková, VŠCHT).

  7. Fungal Pathogens and Dermatophytes: Overview of major fungal pathogens (mainly of vertebrates), their virulence factors influencing their spread (Lenka Machová).

  8. Fungal Diversity and Metabarcoding: Methods and techniques for studying fungal diversity using metabarcoding (Petr Kohout).

  9. Diversity and Biogeography of Fungi: Study of fungal diversity and their biogeographical distribution, including the spread of pathogens (Michaela Švarcová).

  10. Fungi of Extreme Habitats: Examination of fungal adaptations to extreme conditions, such as osmotolerant and osmophilic fungi (František Sklenář).
