Together with bacteria they drive soil forming processes and promote plant growth. Likely, their characteristic long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are important for nutrient enrichment, plant growth promotion and microbial interactions. In alpine regions Mortierellaceae are common but poorly studied. Research on their diversity, distribution, bacterial associations, and taxonomy is needed to further understand soil development and fungal ecology. Therefore the aim of this research project is to find, isolate, and describe currently unknown Mortierellaceae and to perform functional characterization of this important fungal group in threatened alpine habitats using culturedependent and independent approaches.
