the anamorphic fungus genus periconia is worldwide in distribution and causes foliar disease on plants mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. this study presents the description and illustration of p. palmivora discovered on leaves of phoenix dactylifera (palmae/arecaceae) from terai forest region of uttar pradesh, india. the taxonomic determination was based on morphological characteristi...

Six different species of the known teleomorphic food-borne xerophilic genus Eurotium were repeatedly isolated in a mycodiversity study of hypersaline waters. At salinities above 17% NaCl, E. amstelodami was detected most consistently, followed by E. repens and E. herbariorum, while E. rubrum, E. chevalieri and a potentially new species, "Eurotium halotolerans", were detected only occasionally a...

A functional biodiversity microarray (EcoChip) prototype has been developed to facilitate the analysis of fungal communities in environmental samples with broad functional and phylogenetic coverage and to enable the incorporation of nucleic acid sequence data as they become available from large-scale (next generation) sequencing projects. A dual probe set (DPS) was designed to detect a) functio...
