Fungi in aquatic environment.

Cytochromes of aquatic fungi.

The cytochrome systems of two classes of aquatic fungi, the Oomycetes and Chytridiomycetes, were studied by means of reduced-minus-oxidized difference spectra at room and at low temperature. At room temperature, all of these fungi have a c-type cytochrome with an absorption maximum at 551 mmu and a b-type cytochrome at 564 mmu. The Oomycetes have a-type cytochromes at 605 mmu, and the Chytridio...

Some Aquatic Fungi Imperfecti from Hawaii

FRESH-WATER hyphomycetes from tropical locations have been reported by Ingold (1 956, 1958 , 1959, 1960 ) , Dixon (1959) , Greathead (1961) , Hudson (1961), Hudson and Ingold ( 1960 ) , and Nilsson ( 1962) . Reports from the Pacific area include California (Ranzoni, 1953) , and Japan (Tubaki, 1957, 1960; Suzuki and Nimura, 1960a, b; and Nimura, 1960 ). The Fungi Imperfecti reported in this pape...

Aquatic Fungi Growing on Percid Fish Eggs (Percidae) in Poland

The authors investigated mycoflora developing on the eggs of three species of the percid fish. At total of 45 aquatic fungi (including 26 as parasites or necrotrophs) were noted. Pythium capillosum is a new record for Poland. The highest number of fungus species developed on eggs of all percids in water from the Biala river, which had the highest content of biogenic compounds.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and dark septate fungi in plants associated with aquatic environments

Th ere have been several reports of symbionts in the roots of plants that live in aquatic environments. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most common microsymbionts and possibly recolonized the aquatic environment together with plants; however, their functions and the extent of their benefi ts are unclear. Furthermore, the presence of other groups of fungi, such as dark septate fungi (...
