Abstract
Chytridiomycota is the most species-rich phylum of basal lineage fungi with a worldwide distribution. Its species constitute essential components of freshwater ecosystems. However, the diversity of this group in Korea remains understudied. A survey of Chytridiales and Rhizophydiales fungi was conducted in soil and freshwater environments in Korea, and seven strains were isolated. Based on morphological and molecular data, a previously unidentified, novel Rhizophydium species was discovered, designated Rhizophydium multiplex sp. nov. In addition, Chytriomyces hyalinus and Globomyces pollinis-pini were isolated for the first time in Korea. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of the three species are provided. This study highlights the potential diversity of chytrid fungi in Korea.
期刊介绍:
Mycobiology is an international journal devoted to the publication of fundamental and applied investigations on all aspects of mycology and their traditional allies. It is published quarterly and is the official publication of the Korean Society of Mycology. Mycobiology publishes reports of basic research on fungi and fungus-like organisms, including yeasts, filamentous fungi, lichen fungi, oomycetes, moulds, and mushroom. Topics also include molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, metabolism, developmental biology, environmental mycology, evolution, ecology, taxonomy and systematics, genetics/genomics, fungal pathogen and disease control, physiology, and industrial biotechnology using fungi.
