CHECKLIST OF DEUTEROMYCTEOUS FUNGI OF BANGLADESH I1

SHAMIM SHAMSI Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh

ABSTRACT

Eighty three species of anamorphic fungi under 20 genera belonging to Moniliaceae, Tuberculareaceae and Stilbelaceae found in Bangladesh from 1952 till date are enlisted. The alphabetical checklist of the genera is provided herewith. Further updates will be added in the subsequent versions of the publication.

Keywords: Checklist, Fungi, Moniliaceae, Tuberculareaceae, Stilbelaceae, Bangladesh

INTRODUCTION The fungal flora in Bangladesh have not been : , Aspergillus, and fully recorded as yet. However, the hot humid Paecilomyces. Anamorphs of Erysiphales: climatic conditions of the country are highly Oidium and its Segregates. Anamorphs of the congenial for them. As such, a rich fungal Hypocreales: Acremonium, Cylindrocarpon, biodiversity is evident in the country. Cylindrocladium, Fusarium, Gliocladium, Deuteromycota ("Deuteromycetes") or fungi Stachybotrys, Trichoderma, Verticillium, and imperfecti are anamorphic fungi, or mitosporic others (Seifert and Gams 2001). Climate of fungi, but these are terms used without Bangladesh is suitable for growth and taxonomic rank. Anamorphic or conidial fungi reproduction of various mycroflora in nature as are asexually or mitotically sporulating fungi parasites or saprophytes. Present paper deals traditionally classified in the Fungi Imperfecti or with monilaceous hyphomycetes including the form taxon Deuteromycotina, with subsidiary genera of Moniliaceae, Tuberculareaceae and form taxa Hyphomycetes and Coelomycetes Stilbelaceae that are enlisted in Bangladesh from (Alexopoulos et al. 1996, Kendrick 1981, Taylor 1952 till date (Ahmed 1952, Wadud and Ahmed 1995 and Anonymous 2017). 1962, Ishaque and Talukdar 1967, Talukder 1974, Fakir 1987, Miah 1993, Siddiqui et al.

In contrast, isolates of its close relative, A. nidulans, revealed to be the Ellis (1971 and 1976), Ellis and Ellis (1997) and anomorphic stage of a teleomorph (the ascocarp Barnett and Hunter (1972 and 1998) extensively or fruiting body of the sexual reproductive stage worked on anamorphic fungi and they followed of a fungus), which was already named “Saccardean system of classification” Emericella nidulans. When such a teleomorphic Form Class Deuteromycetes stage is known, that name will take priority over Form Order Mucorales the name of an anamorph (which lacks a sexual Moniliales reproductive stage). Hence the formerly Sphaeropsidales classified Aspergillus nidulans is now properly Melanconiales called E. nidulans. Anamorphs of the , Mycelia sterilia

MATERIALS AND METHODS RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The present paper deals with substratum range The Hyphomycetes, like other groups of of 83 species of moniliaceous Hyphomycetes Deuteromycetes, is an artificial one composed reported so far from different habitats of almost entirely of anamorphic fungi of Bangladesh. They were found as pathogens or ascomycete affinity. The majority are known saprophytes on stem, leaf, woody debris and leaf anamorphs of Ascomycetes, although some have litter environment. Asexual fruiting structures of these fungi were studied directly from the basidiomycete affinities. Several of the latter are samples or isolated from the samples. The aquatic or aero-aquatic. They lack locular fruit research was conducted in Bangladesh Jute bodies (conidiomata), and so sporulation occurs Research Institute (BJRI), Dhaka, Bangladesh on separate or aggregated hyphae, which may or Rice Research Institute (BRRI), Joydebpur, may not be differentiated, the thallus consists of Gazipur, Dhaka, Bangladesh Agricultural septate hyphae.
