Aquatic nematode-trapping hyphomycetes have rarely been studied. The current study examined 1000 waterlogged soil samples in order to systematically investigate resources of aquatic nematode-trapping hyphomycetes and to compare species diversity and community similarities in polluted and unpolluted aquatic environments. Many nematode-trapping hyphomycetes live in shallow freshwater (at a water ...

Aquatic hyphomycetes play a key role in decomposition of submerged organic matter and stream ecosystem functioning. We examined the phylogenetic relationships among various genera of aquatic hyphomycetes belonging to the Leotiomycetes (Ascomycota) using sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit (LSU) regions of rDNA generated from 42 pure cultures including 19 ex-types. T...

Aquatic hyphomycetes are a group of freshwater fungi that includes asexual stages of ascomycetes and basidiomycetes. Even though aquatic hyphomycetes are a phyllogenetically heterogeneous group, there are common characteristics to most species: (i) they are saprotrophs, using submerged leaves and wood as substrates and sources of carbon (Gulis et al. 2006b), (ii) they can obtain nutrients from ...

in present study, two species of hyphomycetes fungi including, cephaliophora tropica (in soil), and monascus pilosus (on corn silage) are reported for the first time to iranian mycobiota. descriptions of these species have been provided with morphological characteristics and its rdna sequence analyses.in present study, two species of hyphomycetes fungi including, cephaliophora tropica (in soil)...

Alternaria (Hyphomycetes) A common saprobe found on decaying wood, decaying plants, food, soil, and outdoor air. Some species are plant pathogens. Indoors, it can be found in house dust, carpet, damp areas around showers and window frames, and anywhere condensation occurs. Because of its abundance and ubiquity, Alternaria is one of the most important fungal allergens and is recognized as the ch...

Because of their ability to display yeast-like growth forms in various environmental conditions, dematiaceous (melanized) hyphomycetes of the form-genera Exophiala, Rhinocladiella, and Wangiella have been informally termed "black yeasts." Cladistic analysis of 1,050 bp of the genes coding for small-subunit rRNA (SSU rDNA) supported a close relationship among species of these black yeasts with o...

during an investigation on cladosporium species associated with numerous substrates of various localities in iran during 2011-13, eight species including c. delicatulum, c. echinulatum, c. exile, c. macrocarpum, c. neriicola, c. pannosum, c. scabrellum and c. uredinicola were identified based on the morphological characters. all these species are new records for the iranian mycobiota, except fo...
