  • Key to Phycomycetes Predaceous Or Parasitic in Nematodes Or Amoebae I
    ©Verlag Ferdinand Berger & Söhne Ges.m.b.H., Horn, Austria, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Key to Phycomycetes predaceous or parasitic in Nematodes or Amoebae I. Zoopagales By R. Dayal Department of Plant Pathology, Faculty of Agriculture, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 210005 Summary A key to 10 recognised genera and 92 species of predaceous or parasi- tic fungi in nematodes or amoebae, belonging to the order Zoopagales, is given here. The key is intended primarily for those working in predaceous fungi. It is not phylogenetic but rather an arrangement for easy identification. No claim is made that these are all valid species; it will become evident as the key is used that further study must be made into some which are with difficulty separated from others, except by their host. The literature con- cerning these fungi has increased to such an extent that workers studying the group have for some time felt the need for a convenient aid to identi- fication. This can be overcome only by furnishing with as many tools as possible for identification or recognition of genera and species. This paper is intended as one of the tools. It is a collection of 10 recognized genera and 92 species, brought together so that this information may be more ea- sily available. Guide to the Key The measurements given in the key are those most frequently met within nematode infested cultures; in pure cultures traps are usally ab- sent. Conidial dimensions are usually smaller and the morphology of the conidiophore may also alter considerably. Chlamydospores are formed more frequently in older cultures, but not in all the species.

  • Fungal Evolution: Major Ecological Adaptations and Evolutionary Transitions
    Biol. Rev. (2019), pp. 000–000. 1 doi: 10.1111/brv.12510 Fungal evolution: major ecological adaptations and evolutionary transitions Miguel A. Naranjo-Ortiz1 and Toni Gabaldon´ 1,2,3∗ 1Department of Genomics and Bioinformatics, Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), The Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology, Dr. Aiguader 88, Barcelona 08003, Spain 2 Department of Experimental and Health Sciences, Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF), 08003 Barcelona, Spain 3ICREA, Pg. Lluís Companys 23, 08010 Barcelona, Spain ABSTRACT Fungi are a highly diverse group of heterotrophic eukaryotes characterized by the absence of phagotrophy and the presence of a chitinous cell wall. While unicellular fungi are far from rare, part of the evolutionary success of the group resides in their ability to grow indefinitely as a cylindrical multinucleated cell (hypha). Armed with these morphological traits and with an extremely high metabolical diversity, fungi have conquered numerous ecological niches and have shaped a whole world of interactions with other living organisms. Herein we survey the main evolutionary and ecological processes that have guided fungal diversity. We will first review the ecology and evolution of the zoosporic lineages and the process of terrestrialization, as one of the major evolutionary transitions in this kingdom. Several plausible scenarios have been proposed for fungal terrestralization and we here propose a new scenario, which considers icy environments as a transitory niche between water and emerged land. We then focus on exploring the main ecological relationships of Fungi with other organisms (other fungi, protozoans, animals and plants), as well as the origin of adaptations to certain specialized ecological niches within the group (lichens, black fungi and yeasts).

BENJAMIN Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden Claremont, California 91 711 ABSTRACT Syncephalis hypogena, a new species isolated from soil collected in southern California is described from cultures on Mortierella bisporalis. Salient features of its vegetative development and reproduction, both sexual and asexual, are illustrated with photographs and line drawings. The species is distinguished from all other members of the genus in typically producing merosporangia from the lower rather than the upper hemisphere of the terminal ampulla of the sporangiophore. Key words: merosporangium, Mucorales, mycoparasite, Piptocephalidaceae, Syncephalis, Zoopagales, Zygomycetes, zygospore. INTRODUCfiON Species of Syncephalis van Tiegh. & Le Monn. (1873) are a common element of the fungal biota of soil and dung where, along with species of Piptocephalis de Bary (1865), they develop as haustoria! parasites of other fungi, mostly species of Mucorales. These genera have long constituted a separate family, Piptoceph­ alidaceae (Schroeter 1893; Migula 191 0; Fitzpatrick 1930), which has been in­ cluded in the Mucorales (Benjamin 1959; Hesseltine 1955; Zycha, Siepmann, and Linnemann 1969; Hesseltine and Ellis 1973).

Scholler, G. Hagedorn & A. Rubner (1999). A reevaluation of predatory orbiliaceous fungi. II. A new generic concept. - Sydowia 51(1): 89-113. A new genus concept is proposed for predatory anamorphic Orbiliaceae in which the trapping device is the main morphological criterion for the delimitation of the genera. Molecular, ecological, physiological, biological, and further mor- phological features are taken into account as well. Following the groups identified by Hagedorn & Scholler (1999), these predatory fungi are divided into four genera: Arthrobotrys Corda forming adhesive networks, Drechslerella Subram. forming constricting rings, Dactylellina M. Morelet forming stalked adhesive knobs, and Gamsylella gen. nov. for species producing adhesive columns and unstalked knobs. Eighty-two species are accepted, for 51 of which new combinations are proposed. Keywords: Nematophagous fungi, Orbiliaceae, Arlhrobolrys, Daclylellina, Drechslerella, Gamsylella gen. nov, trapping devices, taxonomy. Present generic and phylogenetic concepts for predatory

  • First Report of Basidiolum Fimbriatum Since 1861
    Mycol. Res. 107 (2): 245–250 (February 2003). f The British Mycological Society 245 DOI: 10.1017/S0953756203007287 Printed in the United Kingdom. First report of Basidiolum fimbriatum since 1861, with comments on its development, occurrence, distribution and relationship with other fungi Merlin M. WHITE Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, 66045-2106, USA. E-mail : [email protected] Received 1 October 2002; accepted 19 December 2002. An obscure parasitic fungus, Basidiolum fimbriatum, was found on Amoebidium parasiticum (Amoebidiales) associated with Caenis sp. (mayfly) nymphs, during a survey of gut fungi (Trichomycetes) from a small stream in northeastern Kansas, USA. The hindguts of the nymphs harboured a species of Legeriomycetaceae and Paramoebidium sp. This is the first report of the ectocommensal protozoan, A. parasiticum, associated with the gills of Caenidae (Ephemeroptera), and of B. fimbriatum in the 142 years since its original documentation from Wiesbaden, Germany. B. fimbriatum is recorded from two midwestern USA states (Kansas and Iowa) and the morphological and developmental features of the parasite on its host are compared with Cienkowski’s original observations and interpretation. B. fimbriatum is characterized as a parasitic fungus possessing merosporangia that form on a simple pyriform thallus that penetrates and consumes its host via a haustorial network. The hypothesis that B. fimbriatum is most closely related to members of the order Zoopagales sensu Benjamin (1979) is proposed. The importance of future collections and molecular-based phylogenetic approaches to place this parasitic fungus within a current system of classification are highlighted.

Bull. Tokyo Gakugei Univ. Div. Nat. Sci., 63: 91-100 (2011) ISSN 1880-4330 Abstract Zygospore development of Zoophagus pectosporus examined in ultrathin sections is reported for the first time for the family Zoopagaceae. The fusion wall made by the union between paired gametangia is known not to dissolve, but to disappear by means of widening a central pore that is made after fusion. The fusion wall becomes to be incorporated into the cell wall of a developing, immature zygosporangium. On the other hand, two gametangial septa, newly-made cross walls delimiting between the immature zygosporangium and newly-made paired suspensors, are known to have a central pore. In this study, germination of zygospore, composed of zygosporangium and zygospore-proper, is seen in electron micrographs in thin sections for the first time for the family. The protoplasm of the zygospore in germination is known to be occupied totally by numerous electron-dense large vesicles, 0.5-1.0 µm in diameter, and is continuous through that of a germ tube and a few non-septate vegetative hyphae developed from the germ tube.
