New record for mycobiota of Serbia: A rare fungus Quambalaria cyanescens found in Pelophylax esculentus (Anura) skin microbiome

A rare basidiomycete Quambalaria cyanescens, documented so far on various substrates worldwide, was isolated from the skin of edible frog (Pelophylax esculentus) captured in South Banat. The fungal identification based sequencing ITS region and BLAST analyses. presence Q. cyanescens amphibian microbiome is not only first finding this fungus Serbia but also recording new ecological habitat for species micromycetes. Phylogenetic analyses revealed high similarity isolate study with foliar pathogens Eucalyptus Australia.
