Figure 3.

Subsection of the fungal SSU rDNA focusing on the ascomycete section of the phylogeny. See figure legend 1 for details on diagrammatic conventions. Similar to the basidiomycete analyses (figure 2), a wide diversity of ascomycete fungi detected in deep-sea environments are shown, with the deep-sea ascomycete fungi detected generally grouping with microbes with an yeast growth form. However, again, we see exceptions to this, including the detection of a deep-sea Cladosporium and Aspergillus SSU type.
