Bacteriologist Pavel Švec heads to Antarctica
In January 2026, Pavel Švec will travel to the Johann Gregor Mendel Czech Research Station on James Ross Island to expand our collection with bacterial isolates from lake sediments.
We are deeply saddened to share that our dear colleague and outstanding mycologist, RNDr. Ludmila Marvanová, CSc., passed away earlier this year.
Her commitment to science and many years of work in the taxonomy and ecology of aquatic hyphomycetes left an indelible mark on the world of mycology.
A tribute from her close colleagues has been published in the newsletter of the Mycological Society of America, where she was an honorary member.
