The present study showed that fungi in mangrove roots are composed of a consortium of soil, marine, and freshwater fungi.Key words: mangroves, endophytes, fungi, diversity, India. In the present paper the work done on diversity and ecology of fungi on mangroves … Fungi may occur as saprophytes, symbiotically or as a parasite in the mangrove ecosystem and these fungi belong to both the lower class, such as oomycetes and thraustochytrids, and the upper class, such as ascomycetes and basidiomycetes. They found that Penicillium and Aspergillus were the dominant genera, followed by Trichoderma , Fusarium , Phoma , Talaromyces , Cladosporium , Eupenicillium , Gongronella , Microsphaeropsis , Mucor , Stilbella and Thielavia . An overview on the diversity and ecology of fungi colonizing litter of mangroves in Bay of Bengal region (mangroves of Godavary and Krishna deltas of Andhra Pradesh, Pichavaram of Tamil Nadu, and Andaman and Nicobar Islands) are presented in this paper. Methodology 2.1. Based on percentage of occurrence, the most The genera of fungi found were considered to be of terrestrial origin indicating adaptation to the variable conditions found in mangroves. Endophytic fungal diversity of 2 sand dune wild legumes from the southwest coast of India. Rhizophora mucronata is an important ecosystem entity of the Malaysian mangrove forest. described fungi growing on mangroves from different parts of the world but information of Manglicolous fungi of Pakistan remains so far non existent. The entire Everglades population of the wood stork nests only in mangroves. … AMF were mostly found in the form of hyphae and were commonly associated with all the mangrove species we investigated. These activities will provide new data regarding pathogens in mangroves and will be used to help confirm the species of fungi we suspect is the pathogen. fungi in Hong Kong mangroves. Seasonal dynamics of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal community composition in three common mangrove plant species, namely, Acanthus ilicifolius, Excoecaria agallocha, and Rhizophora mucronata, from two sites in Goa, India, were investigated. reported 57 fungal species isolated from parts of mangroves in Boracay and Pagbilao from 2002 until now and Besitulo et al (2010) reported 66 species of fungi from Siargao Island, Mindanao. Although saprophytic fungi occurring in the intertidal part of mangrove have been well studied, little is known about the diversity and structure of the fungal communities in this ecosystem or about the importance of functional groups like pathogens and mutualists. Table 3 Species richness, diversity and evenness of fungi recovered from all stations of Mangroves. Fungal surveys in mangroves have focused mainly on taxonomic diversity of saprophytic fungi retrieved from intertidal, floating or immersed, pieces of trees and wood debris [9]. Knowledge of occurrence of marine fungi in the eastern mangrove is almost absent. The availability of fungal propagules in the sea on substratum colonization is poorly researched. A large number A total number of 131 species belonging to 77 genera have so far been reported from the three regions. Fungi associated with mangroves are especially well documented. At the same time, these activities will support teaching STEM while also creating awareness about mangroves and threats posed to them. The symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and mangrove plant species was investigated in two mangrove swamps in south China. The present study was therefore carried out to fill in this important lacuna existing in the mangroves ecosystem studies of the area. Many methods have been used to study phylloplane fungi, most of which have constraints and may result in biased results. fungi in all the sampling stations during the study period was in conformity with the diversity studies of Maria and Sridhar (2002). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in two mangroves in South China Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in two mangroves in South China Wang, Yutao; Qiu, Qiu; Yang, Zhongyi; Hu, Zhijian; Tam, Nora; Xin, Guorong 2010-06-01 00:00:00 The symbiosis between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and mangrove plant species was investigated in two mangrove swamps in south China. @article{Dsouza2013BiodiversityOA, title={Biodiversity of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in mangroves of Goa in West India}, author={J. D’Souza J, Rodrigues BF (2013b) Biodiversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in mangroves of Goa, in West India. Since the species grows in a harsh environment, any organism that is isolated from this species would be of huge interest due to its potential in having novel bioactive compounds. 2. These mangrove fungi However, no studies have been reported on the seasonal dynamics of AM fungi in mangroves. Three methods: di-rect observation with light microscopy, scanning elec-tron microscopy and the leaf washing method, were compared to study the phylloplane fungi on Kandelia candel and Aegiceras corniculatum which are the most common mangrove trees in Hong Kong. One hun-dred and thirty-nine marine fungi were fully identified to specific level (115 Ascomycota, 2 Basidiomycota, 22 ana-morphic taxa). Diversity estimates pointed to 625 marine fungi species associated with mangrove forests, and 269 related to mangrove roots [10]. Some fungi, chiefly host specific ones, have a limited distribution, while omnivorous species are found in mangroves … Hyde K. D. 1992. Article in press - uncorrected proof Botanica Marina 53 (2010): 545–554 2010 by seasonal and vertical distributions of fungi were made by Sarma & Vittal16-19 and Sarma et al.20 from Godavari and Krishna deltaic mangroves in Andhra Pradesh state along east coast of India. Explore all our latest news from the field In this paper, spore density and species richness pattern of AM fungi in relation to seasons have been elucidated. Seedlings of mangrove species were tested for AM colonization through root clearing and staining technique. Distribution of Fungi in Mangrove Soil of Coastal Areas at Nabq and Ras Mohammed Protectorates Ahmed M. A. Khalil*, Hussein H. El-sheikh and Mahmoud H. Sultan Botany and Microbiology Department, Faculty of science, Al Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt *Corresponding author ABSTRACT Introduction Fungi are distributed throughout nature The higher marine fungi on the samples were identified and their percentage occurrence noted. 1.2.3 Bioactive secondary metabolites from fungi and endophytic fungi 8 1.2.4 Mangrove endophytic fungi 9 1.2.5 Biotechnology of mangrove endophytic fungi 9 1.3 South China Sea 10 1.3.1 Geographical region 10 1.3.2 Mangroves in South China Sea region 10 1.3.3 Mangrove plant diversity 11 However, Halophytophthora species and thraustochytrids in mangroves rapidly colonize leaf … These floating/diving birds feed on fishes, plant materials, and invertebrates. Parasitic species cause such diseases as 'die-back' of mangroves , but the majority are saprophytic on wood debris and leaf litter, contributing as decomposers to the mangrove ecosystem's food chain. Rhizophora plant species are highly suitable hosts as they show a variety of niches with vertical zonation, specificity, preferential colonization and succession. Keywords: Endophytic fungi, Epiphytic fungi, Illumina MiSeq sequencing, ITS2, Mangroves, Network structure Background The interaction between plant and microbial communi-ties drives the maintenance of biodiversity, community stability, and ecosystem functioning [1]. Studies on the occurrence and diversity of AM fungi from different mangrove plants have been documented [2, 10]. In Cited by.
