Differential hypo-osmotic stress responses and regulatory mechanisms of Aspergillus sydowii in amphipod guts and hadal sediments

Scientists discovered a new fungus living in the guts of deep-sea amphipods and studied how it survives in extreme pressure and low-salt environments. By comparing this gut fungus with a similar fungus from deep-sea sediments, they found that the gut fungus is better adapted to low-salt conditions and produces different protective chemicals. The study reveals that fungi evolve different survival strategies depending on where they live, using changes in cell walls and energy production to handle environmental stress.

Scientists isolated a fungus from the gut of deep-sea amphipods in the Mariana Trench and discovered how it uniquely adapts to low-salt conditions. Unlike other fungal strains from different habitats, this gut fungus showed special abilities to survive and even thrive when salt levels dropped dramatically. The researchers found that the fungus rapidly rewired its genes and cellular structures to maintain water balance and protect itself, revealing how life in extreme deep-sea environments drives evolution of novel survival strategies.
