Importance and distribution
Aeminium ludgeri is a microcolonial black fungus occurring on a biodeteriorated limestone art piece in Europe (Portugal). It is categorized as a halotolerant, xerophilic, and facultative alkaliphile. Aeminium comprises only one species. It is a poorly studied genus and more studies are needed to discover new taxa of Aeminium.
