An Annotated Check-List of Ascomycota Reported from Soil and Other Terricolous Substrates in Egypt A Journal of Basic & Applied Mycology 2 (2011): 1-27 1 © 2010 by The Society of Basic & Applied Mycology (EGYPT) An annotated check-list of Ascomycota reported from soil and other terricolous substrates in Egypt A. F. Moustafa* & A. M. Abdel – Azeem Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, University of Suez *Corresponding author: e-mail: Canal, Ismailia 41522, Egypt [email protected] Received 26/6/2010, Accepted 6/4 /2011 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: By screening of available sources of information, it was possible to figure out a range of 310 taxa that could be representing Egyptian Ascomycota up to the present time. In this treatment, concern was given to ascomycetous fungi of almost all terricolous substrates while phytopathogenic and aquatic forms are not included. According to the scheme proposed by Kirk et al. (2008), reported taxa in Egypt belonged to 88 genera in 31 families, and 11 orders. In view of this scheme, very few numbers of taxa remained without certain taxonomic position (incertae sedis). It is also worthy to be mentioned that among species included in the list, twenty-eight are introduced to the ascosporic mycobiota as novel taxa based on type materials collected from Egyptian habitats. The list includes also 19 species which are considered new records to the general mycobiota of Egypt. When species richness and substrate preference, as important ecological parameters, are considered, it has been noticed that Egyptian Ascomycota shows some interesting features noteworthy to be mentioned. At the substrate level, clay soils, came first by hosting a range of 108 taxa followed by desert soils (60 taxa). At the taxonomic level, Sordariales, compared to other orders, accommodated the greatest number of taxa i.e. 92 taxa followed by Eurotiales (61 taxa). Chaetomiaceae and Trichocomaceae are by far the richest families by housing 61 taxa. At the generic level, Chaetomium occupied the first place among all reported genera by including 51 species followed by Arthroderma (15 spp.). Provisional keys to the identification of reported taxa are given. Key words: Ascomycota, biodiversity, check-list, Egypt, fungi, taxonomy ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction isolations from different sources.

K. S. Kushwaha 2 1Department of Microbiology, Saaii College of Medical Sciences and Technology, Chaubepur, Kanpur 2Shri Shakti College, Harbaspur, Ghatampur, Kanpur ______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT The present review deals with fungal keratinases including that of dermatophytes. Bacterial keratinases were also included. Temperature and substrate relationship keratinase production has also been discussed. Keratin degradation and industrial involvement of keratinase producing fungi is also reviewed. Key words : Keratinase, keratin, degradation, fungi. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Keratin is an insoluble macromolecule requiring the secretion of extra cellular enzymes for biodegradation to occur. Keratin comprises long polypeptide chains, which are resistant to the activity of non-substrate-specific proteases. Adjacent chains are linked by disulphide bonds thought responsible for the stability and resistance to degradation of keratin (Safranek and Goos, 1982). The degradation of keratinous material is important medically and agriculturally (Shih, 1993; Matsumoto, 1996). Secretion of keratinolytic enzymes is associated with dermatophytic fungi, for which keratin

Mycosphere 10(1), 310–489, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/7 Abstract Leotiomycetes is regarded as the inoperculate class of discomycetes within the phylum Ascomycota. Taxa are mainly characterized by asci with a simple pore blueing in Melzer’s reagent, although some taxa have lost this character. The monophyly of this class has been verified in several recent molecular studies. However, circumscription of the orders, families and generic level delimitation are still unsettled. This paper provides a modified backbone tree for the class Leotiomycetes based on phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 loci. In the phylogenetic analysis, Leotiomycetes separates into 19 clades, which can be recognized as orders and order-level clades.
