Algae are ubiquitous, a multitude of species ranging from microscopic unicellular to gigantic kelps inhabit the world's oceans, freshwater bodies, soils, rocks and trees and are responsible for most of the global production of organic matter by photosynthesis. They are major carbon-assimilating organisms. Thus they play a fundamental role in the world's ecosystems and a reliable and modern introduction to their kaleidoscopic diversity, systematic and phylogeny is indispensable. Algae are highly diversified group of plant with enormous economic implications not only as primary producers and pollution indicators but also as a source of several natural products like biofertiliser, biofuels, chemicals. In India ca. 7284 species (15.33 % of Indian Flora) belonging to 738 genera under 206 families have been recorded so far. In Karnataka state, a total of 1761 taxa belonging to 109 families of the classes Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Xanthophyceae, Chrysophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Dinophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Phaeophyceae and Rhodophyceae. Out of these, 100 taxa are endemic to Karnataka and 46 taxa are endemic to India. Class Numbers of taxa Numbers of Numbers of taxa Numbers of taxa families endemic to endemic to India Karnataka Bacillariophyceae 632 37 25 7 Chlorophyceae 505 27 47 11 Chrysophyceae 20 4 1 - Cyanophyceae 455 15 25 27 Dinophyceae 2 2 - - Euglenophyceae 86 2 1 - Phaeophyceae 25 7 - - Rhodophyceae 35 14 1 1 Xanthophyceae 1 1 - - Total 1761 109 100 46 Despite the fact that algal documentation is limited to areas where a few algalogists worked in universities and colleges, the classes Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae were recorded with 632, 505 and 455 species respectively. Among the chlorophytes, desmids are dominating, but the filamentous conjugales like Spirogyra, Zygnema, Mougeotia, Sirogonium, Zygnemopsis, etc., which are dominant in lentic and lotic freshwater systems in India, are scantily recorded from the state. Spirogyra jogensis is the only recorded species of the genus by M.O.P. Iyengar in 1958. It shows the least indulgence of subsequent researchers in study of this group. 2 Class : CYANOPHYCEAE* Family : CAPSOSIRACEAE Stauromatonema Frémy Stauromatonema viride Frémy, Myxophyc.

Aspects of the ecology and population dynamics of the fungus Beauveria bassiana strain F418 in soil A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At Lincoln University By Céline Blond Lincoln University 2012 Abstract Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Abstract Aspects of the ecology and population dynamics of the fungus Beauveria bassiana strain F418 in soil by Céline Blond This research aimed to improve understanding of the ecology of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.-Criv.) Vuill. (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) strain F418 in soil, aided by the use of gfp transformants, to improve the use of this fungus as a biopesticide in New Zealand pastures. Prior to using B. bassiana F418 gfp transformants (F418 gfp tr1 and F418 gfp tr3), their phenotypes were comprehensively compared to the wild-type F418. Compared to F418, F418 gfp tr3 had a faster rate of germination at 15 °C for 24 h and 20 °C for 14 h and F418 gfp tr1 had a slower rate of germination at 25 °C for 14 h; however this was not apparent at longer incubation times at all temperatures.

Cai1, X.Y. Guo2, K.D. Hyde3,4 Key words Abstract Cheirosporium gen. nov. is characterised by the production of sporodochial conidiomata, semi­macrone­ matous to macronematous conidiophores that possess several distinct sterile branches, and cheiroid, smooth­walled ascomycetes conidia with rhexolytic secession. The 28S rDNA and ITS rDNA operon of this taxon were amplified and sequenced. Pleosporales A BLAST search revealed low homology between Cheirosporium triseriale and existing sequences in public data­ systematics bases, supporting the hypothesis that the species is new to science. Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. triseriale taxonomy groups with Dictyosporium and allied species, and nests within the Pleosporales (Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota). Cheirosporium is morphologically distinct from the cheirosporous genera Cheiromyces, Cheiromycina, Dictyosporium, Digitomyces, Digitodesmium and Pseudodictyosporium and these differences are discussed. Article info Received: 28 January 2008; Accepted: 17 April 2008; Published: 23 April 2008. INTRODUCTION ITS rDNA sequences showed that this fungus represents a new ascomycetous anamorph that could not be linked to a teleomor­ Freshwater fungi are taxonomically diverse, with more than phic genus. It is, therefore, described here as Cheirosporium 1 000 documented species, which include representatives from triseriale gen. & sp. nov. almost all major fungal classes (Tsui & Hyde 2003, Vijaykrishna et al. 2006). These fungi colonise many different substrates MATERIALS AND METHODS such as submerged plant litter, and aquatic organisms (Vijay­ krishna & Hyde 2006).

Aveskamp, [email protected] #Current address: Mycolim BV, Veld Oostenrijk 13, 5961 NV Horst, The Netherlands Abstract: Fungal taxonomists routinely encounter problems when dealing with asexual fungal species due to poly- and paraphyletic generic phylogenies, and unclear species boundaries. These problems are aptly illustrated in the genus Phoma. This phytopathologically significant fungal genus is currently subdivided into nine sections which are mainly based on a single or just a few morphological characters. However, this subdivision is ambiguous as several of the section-specific characters can occur within a single species. In addition, many teleomorph genera have been linked to Phoma, three of which are recognised here. In this study it is attempted to delineate generic boundaries, and to come to a generic circumscription which is more correct from an evolutionary point of view by means of multilocus sequence typing. Therefore, multiple analyses were conducted utilising sequences obtained from 28S nrDNA (Large Subunit - LSU), 18S nrDNA (Small Subunit - SSU), the Internal Transcribed Spacer regions 1 & 2 and 5.8S nrDNA (ITS), and part of the β-tubulin (TUB) gene region.

Received: 14 May 2013; in revised form: 15 July 2013 / Accepted: 16 July 2013 / Published: 2 August 2013 Abstract: About 20,550 larvae, pupae and adults of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., were diagnosed for pathogens during long-term investigations (1955±2012) at the Institute for Biological Control in Darmstadt, Germany. The prevailing entomopathogens diagnosed in these studies were insect pathogenic fungi, especially Beauveria bassiana and Isaria farinosa, the microsporidium, Nosema carpocapsae, the Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV), as well as mostly undetermined bacteria. While the CpGV was observed exclusively in larvae and pupae from laboratory colonies or from field experiments with this virus, entomopathogenic fungi were most frequently diagnosed in last instars in autumn and in diapausing larvae and pupae in spring. B. bassiana was identified as the major fungal pathogen, causing larval prevalences of 0.9% to 100% (mean, about 32%). During prognostic long-term studies in larvae and adults of C.
