Mycosphere 1(2), 183–188. In the present study, two species of Diatrypaceae were isolated from the wood of Acacia longifolia subsp. sophorae shrubs in the Coorong National Park, South Australia. Based on habitat, host, morphological observations and literature review, the isolates are described as the new species Diatrype brunneospora and Eutypella australiensis. These new taxa are fully described and illustrated and sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA are also provided.

As opposed to coordinated inventory and monitoring projects of fungi established around Europe long ago, mycologi- cal researches in Serbia are still sporadic and insufficiently coordinated by authorities and experts. In accordance with that, available data concerning the state of fungi in Serbia are scarce. The aim of this work was to collect all relevant unpublished data considering fungi in Fruška Gora and to present checklist of two fungal phyla: Myxomycota and Ascomycota. In the presented checklist, 23 recorded species of Myxomycota (known as fungal analogues) were distributed in 2 classes, 5 orders, and 7 families. The first class (Protosteliomycetes) contained only one species – Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa (fam. Ceratiomyxaceae). The largest order was Trichiales (9 species), while the dominant families were Stemonitidaceae and Trichiaceae, each with 6 species recorded.

  • Sorted by Host
    -- Sorted by Host -- L. F. Grand and C. S. Vernia May 2004 Review Version Some suggestions for using the .pdf edition of Fungi on Plants in North Carolina: • Download this .pdf file to your computer and view through Adobe Acrobat Reader rather than through a web browser. • There is no index to genera or species. You can use the search engine in Adobe Acrobat Reader to search on any term. For example, in order to locate the fungi found on eastern red cedar you could search using |Juniperus virginiana| or |eastern red cedar| or |Juniperus| or |virginiana|. The more complete your search term, the more limited your search will be. • You can search using common names, although not all common names are used in thedocument. • The pages of the .pdf document are arranged alphabetically first by family then by plant genus and species. • This is a review, not a final, version. Some fields need to be enlarged and the numbers you see by entries are for reference purposes only. Some synonyms are included – we are working on updating that information in the database and it will be complete by the time the final copy is released. • To find out the reported hosts for a given fungus in North Carolina, use the “Sorted by fungus” section at: http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/course/pp318/fungus.pdf Fungi on North Carolina Plants -- By Host Aceraceae; Acer Aceraceae Aureobasidium apocyrptum Acer barbatum Michx.

  • Fungal Endophytes from Arid Areas of Andalusia
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Fungal endophytes from arid areas of Andalusia: high potential sources for antifungal and antitumoral Received: 2 January 2018 Accepted: 19 June 2018 agents Published: xx xx xxxx Victor González-Menéndez1, Gloria Crespo1, Nuria de Pedro1, Caridad Diaz1, Jesús Martín1, Rachel Serrano1, Thomas A. Mackenzie1, Carlos Justicia1, M. Reyes González-Tejero2, M. Casares2, Francisca Vicente1, Fernando Reyes 1, José R. Tormo1 & Olga Genilloud1 Native plant communities from arid areas present distinctive characteristics to survive in extreme conditions. The large number of poorly studied endemic plants represents a unique potential source for the discovery of novel fungal symbionts as well as host-specifc endophytes not yet described. The addition of adsorptive polymeric resins in fungal fermentations has been seen to promote the production of new secondary metabolites and is a tool used consistently to generate new compounds with potential biological activities. A total of 349 fungal strains isolated from 63 selected plant species from arid ecosystems located in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, were characterized morphologically as well as based on their ITS/28S ribosomal gene sequences. The fungal community isolated was distributed among 19 orders including Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes, being Pleosporales the most abundant order. In total, 107 diferent genera were identifed being Neocamarosporium the genus most frequently isolated from these plants, followed by Preussia and Alternaria. Strains were grown in four diferent media in presence and absence of selected resins to promote chemical diversity generation of new secondary metabolites. Fermentation extracts were evaluated, looking for new antifungal activities against plant and human fungal pathogens, as well as, cytotoxic activities against the human liver cancer cell line HepG2.

Phylogenetic study of endophytic fungi associated with Centella asiatica from Bengkulu and Malaysian accessions based on the ITS rDNA sequence. Biodiversitas 20: 1248-1258. Centella asiatica is one of the medicinal plants which is known to be symbiotic with various endophytic fungi. The purpose of this research was to determine diversity of culturable fungal endophyte from C. asiatica. Identification was conducted using molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the ITS rDNA sequence. The result showed that obtained 145 isolates endophytic fungi (from stolons, leaves, roots, petioles) were grouped into 18 morphotaxa (Bengkulu) and 23 morphotaxa (Malaysian). The fungal endophytic were identified as Aspergillus austroafricanus,
