title: Metabarcoding of antarctic endolithic granites microbiota from Victoria Lannd: fungi
design: The Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS1) rDNA was used to assess fungal diversity. To amplify the variable region of ITS, primers ITS1F (CTTGGTCATTTAGAGGAAGTAA)/ITS2 (GCTGCGTTCTTCATCGATGC) were used as in Smith & Peay (2014)
