Abstract
s Six species of the genus Nowakowskiella (Nowakowskiellaceae, Chytridiomycota), specifically Nowakowskiella elegans, N. hemisphaerospora, N. profusa, N. multispora, N. ramosa and N. macrospora as well as one variety N. multispora var. longa are described herein from India. N. hemisphaerospora and N. macrospora are reported as new records for India. This increases the number of Nowakowskiella species known from India to seven. Nowakowskiella multispora var. longa is rarely reported in the world and in the past has been recorded only from Poland and India. All these species along with a variety are illustrated with the help of light micrographs and compared with other similar species. Morphological descriptions, illustrations, distribution and comments of these examined species are presented. Besides, we analysed nu-rRNA gene sequences (partial LSU) of six Nowakowskiella isolates from Indian aquatic and soil samples. A synopsis of the characters to all these investigated species based on morphological characters are provided in this study to differentiate them.
期刊介绍:
Current Science, published every fortnight by the Association, in collaboration with the Indian Academy of Sciences, is the leading interdisciplinary science journal from India. It was started in 1932 by the then stalwarts of Indian science such as CV Raman, Birbal Sahni, Meghnad Saha, Martin Foster and S.S. Bhatnagar. In 2011, the journal completed one hundred volumes. The journal is intended as a medium for communication and discussion of important issues that concern science and scientific activities. Besides full length research articles and shorter research communications, the journal publishes review articles, scientific correspondence and commentaries, news and views, comments on recently published research papers, opinions on scientific activity, articles on universities, Indian laboratories and institutions, interviews with scientists, personal information, book reviews, etc. It is also a forum to discuss issues and problems faced by science and scientists and an effective medium of interaction among scientists in the country and abroad. Current Science is read by a large community of scientists and the circulation has been continuously going up.
Current Science publishes special sections on diverse and topical themes of interest and this has served as a platform for the scientific fraternity to get their work acknowledged and highlighted. Some of the special sections that have been well received in the recent past include remote sensing, waves and symmetry, seismology in India, nanomaterials, AIDS, Alzheimer''s disease, molecular biology of ageing, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Indian monsoon, water, transport, and mountain weather forecasting in India, to name a few. Contributions to these special issues ‘which receive widespread attention’ are from leading scientists in India and abroad.
