During a long term study of Zygomycetes in Taiwan, four species of Lichtheimia were isolated from soil, dung, and compost. They are Lichtheimia corymbifera, L. hyalospora, L. ornata, and L. ramosa. Among them, L. ornata and L. ramosa are new records to Taiwan. Identification was based on morphological, physiological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of rDNA of ITS region (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2), SSU and LSU D1/D2 domain. A key to the species of Lichtheimia from Taiwan is also provided.

A total of 130 maize and sorghum samples from 15 districts of Karnataka state were analyzed for diversity and per cent incidence of Fusarium species by direct plating method on malachite green agar 2.5 medium. For further identification of Fusarium species, one set of genus-specific ITS primers was used to differentiate Fusarium species from closely related genera by polymerase chain reaction. The study revealed the occurrence of 10 diverse species of Fusarium in maize and sorghum samples collected from different districts of Karnataka. The species identified were F. verticillioides, F. proliferatum, F. oxysporum, F. anthophilum, F. pallidoroseum, F. sporotrichioides, F. solani, F. graminearum, F. decemcellulare, and F. lateritium respectively. All the Fusarium species tested by PCR scored positive with the ITS pair of primers with an expected 431bp PCR product. The study further revealed the occurrence of F. verticillioides (18.69%), F. proliferatum (6.08%), and F. anthophilum (4.46%) in maize samples respectively. Similarly, species of F. verticillioides (10.22%) and F. anthophilum (1.67%) were recorded in higher per cent incidence in sorghum samples. The data on the diversity and incidence of Fusarium species would be of great significance for predicting the extent of post-harvest deterioration and subsequent accumulation of toxins in maize and sorghum grains produced in Karnataka, India.

Two ustilaginomycetous anamorphic strains, BCRC 34125 and BCRC 34798 (=BCRC 07F0478), were isolated from Taiwan. Based on the morphology, physiological characteristics, and phylogenetic analysis of rRNA gene sequence of internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1)-5.8S-ITS2, these strains were identified as Pseudozyma aphidis. This species is recorded as new to the fungal flora of Taiwan. Morphological and physiological characteristics were illustrated and described.

One hundred and thirty six isolates of Halophytophthora were collected from mangrove leaves. Eighty seven isolates were identified to 5 species and one species complex. Of these, six strains identified as Halophytophthora spinosa var. lobata are newly recorded in Taiwan. The influence of varying salinity and temperature to growth and reproduction of Halophytophthora spinosa strains were presented. Phylogenetic analyses based on D1D2 region of LSU rDNA of Halophytophthra species were conducted in this study.
