FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK


At the outset I express my deep sense of gratitude to all the MSI members for electing me the President of Mycological Society of India for the year 2019. During the last meeting of Mycological Society of India held in November 2018 at ARI Pune, deliberations were held to work for uplifting the activities of MSI so as to expand its horizons. In this regard President of MSI, Professor K.R.Sridhar has circulated some of the measures requesting all the MSI members to contribute in whatever way each one of us can do, so as to achieve the target. I have tried to summarize the measures he has suggested in the following points:

  1. Encourage / request the colleagues involved in the teaching of Mycology in respective institute and otherinstitutes to become member of MSI
  2. Being a teacher of Mycology one must devise ways and means to make the subject interesting with thepurpose of attracting undergraduate and post graduate students to pursue further study in Mycology
  3. Persuade the research students of Mycology in respective institution to become Life member of MSI
  4. Persuade PhD scholars to become members of Google Scholar and Research Gate, so that they can access lots of literature and freely downloadable material pertaining to their research. At present, manyjournals offer downloadable literature in soft copy without cost (e.g. Kavaka, Mycosphere, Studies inFungi, CREAM Journal, Plant Pathology and Quarantine, Asian Journal of Mycology, and so on)
  5. All the information on important conferences / workshops (regional / national / international) onMycology should be shared with MSI members.
  6. To expand the activities of MSI, local units like MSI Unit of Mumbai needs to be established whichshould organize different activities including symposia, conferences, group discussion, discussion with school children and general public
  7. There is a need to establish State level Chapters of MSI in which dual purpose of popularizing Mycologyand expanding the activities of MSI can be achieved.

Towards the end of 2018 MSI lost two of its founder members and mycologists of repute, namely Professor B.P.R.Vittal and Professor Johnpaual Muthumary. In the last Executive meeting of MSI held at Pune, it was decided to dedicate the next volume of Kavaka to be released in June, 2019 (Volume 52) in the memory of Late Professor B.P.R. Vittal and subsequent Volume number 53 to be released in December,2019 in the memory of Late Professor Johnpaul Muthumary. Members are requested to contribute review articles and good manuscripts for these volumes so that these can be brought out in time.

My sincere thanks are due to all the authors of the articles included in this issue of the Journal. I also sincerely acknowledge the help rendered by the reviewers for the critical appraisal of the manuscripts which has immensely helped to improve the quality of the articles. Without their help timely release of the Journal would not have been possible.

ABSTRACT


The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in improving plant growth is now well documented. Most of the studies on AMF-root pathogens suggest that AMF decreased or mitigated the disease severity. Consistent reduction of disease symptoms has been described for fungal, bacterial and nematode pathogens. Studies conducted so far suggest that the mechanisms of suppression may be due to morphological, physiological and biological alterations in the host. Thickening of the cell walls through lignification and production of other polysaccharides in mycorrhizal plants preventing penetration and growth of pathogens like Fusarium oxysporum and Phoma terrestris have been demonstrated. Higher concentration of ortho-dihydroxy phenols present in mycorrhizal plants compared to non-mycorrhizal plants was found to be inhibitory to the root rot pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii. The activation of specific plant defence mechanisms as a response of AMF colonization is an obvious basis for the protective capacity of AMF. Among the compounds involved in plant defence studied in relationship to AMF formation are phytoalexins, enzymes of the phenylpropanoid pathway, chitinases, peroxidases, pathogenesis related (PR) proteins etc. Mycorrhizal plants harbour higher population of microorganisms in the rhizosphere thus making it difficult for the pathogen to compete and gain access to the root. Further mycorhizosphere supports higher population of antagonists and siderophore producers. Thus the possibility of biologically controlling the root pathogens with AMF looks promising.

ABSTRACT


Visakhapatnam is a coastal city situated on the east coast of India. It is one of the cities included under the Smart Cities mission of Government of India. Recent studies have reported around 35 fungal taxa from the outdoor air of the city. There have been, however, few studies that has employed modern taxonomic tools such as gene sequence analysis to understand the fungal diversity. The present study was, therefore, initiated to characterize the phylogenetic diversity and clarify the taxonomic positions of the fungi isolated from aerosol samples collected from urban Visakhapatnam. In total, 22 fungi were isolated, of which 9 isolates were subjected to ITS-based phylogenetic analysis. In the phylogenetic tree, the newly generated nine ITS sequences clustered within Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus elegans, A. micronesiensis, Penicillium citrinum, P. oxalicum and P. steckii clades. Further studies employing a polyphasic approach, including mycotoxin analysis, will be required to accurately identify these fungi to species level and assess their possible effects on human health and coastal ecology of Visakhapatnam.

ABSTRACT

Mycophilic society around the world has always been looking for wild edible mushrooms during monsoon season since times immemorial. People have been collecting these mushrooms for several purposes including culinary, medicinal and sacred as well. Local inhabitants of various regions of the world belonging to different civilizations possessed ethnic information regarding uses of mushrooms in day to day life. This information has been capitalized and even strengthened through regular inputs from different parts of the world. Because of their time tested importance in human welfare over a period of time, mushrooms has earned the status of special creation of God. These mushrooms have played a pivotal role in the upliftment of social and economic status of the rural people by adding to their economic profits and serving their culinary needs at their door steps. The indigenous knowledge about utility of these wild mushrooms is an important area which needs to be explored scientifically for its wider use in human welfare. This manuscript presents a compilation of the published information about sociobiological and ethnomycological aspects of mushrooms at one place which otherwise is lying scattered in the published literature around the world.

Key words: Ethnomycology, food, income, medicine, sociobiology, traditional knowledge, wild edible mushrooms.

ABSTRACT

This study documents the spore assemblage of aquatic and aeroaquatic fungi (AAF) in urban street runoff of a southwest coastal city in India during southwest monsoon season. Depending on the extent of vegetation (high, moderate, low and very low) within surroundings, eight locations were selected to assess water in street runoff. From each location, water samples of street runoff were filtered through membrane filters (5 μm) to trap the spores followed by staining with lactophenol cotton blue. Among 24 samples assessed from eight locations, a maximum of 20 samples consist of AAF spores. Altogether spores of 35 species were found in street runoff with high relative abundance of Alatospora acuminata, Anguillospora crassa, Flagellospora curvula, Helicomyces roseus and unidentified fungus (sigmoid spore) (5.7-7.6%). Spores of A. crassa and unidentified fungus were common to all locations. The richness of species as well as spores decreased linearly across the locations with high towards least vegetation. Jaccard's similarity coefficient ranged from 53.1-75% among four locations with high-moderate vegetation, while except for one pair of locations (75%) similarity ranged from 20-47.8% in rest of the locations consisting of low vegetation. One-way ANOVA revealed significant differences in species richness as well as spores of AAF in eight locations (p < 0.05). It is predicted that the AAF spores produced in the canopy in urban habitats were transferred to street runoff. It is hypothesized that the AAF spores in street runoff facilitate to monitor the status vegetation and in turn the extent of pollution in urban habitats.

From the Editor's Desk

Dear MSI Colleagues as you are already aware about the delisting of Kavaka being Transactions of Mycological Society of India by University Grants Commission from the list of approved Journals without asking for any information from any of the present or past office bearers. This step seems to have been taken without much taking into account the credentials of the Journal, which have been built over the years through the successive efforts of earlier stalwarts of Indian Mycology .The Committee constituted by UGC has reasoned it because of the low score. I have been informed through written explanation by Professor Rajesh Jain, Secretary UGC that the scoring was done on the basis whether the journal has peer review policy, author's guidelines, well defined ethical policy, indexing, frequency and details about the commencement of publication. As you already know all these details are available on the official website of Mycological Society of India (http://www.fungiindia.co.in) as well as on the website of the Journal (http://www.kavaka.fungiindia.co.in). Also the Journal is being published regularly since 1973 without any gap and the digitized version of all the back volumes is available for free access on the website of the Journal. I, in my capacity as Editor-in-Chief have written a rebuttal intimating all the requisite information about the Journal for evaluation. To strengthen my argument I have also intimated the Kavaka rating by NAAS at 5.33, which stands testimony to the credentials of the Journal. My request to the honorable members of MSI and other mycologists is that they should not get disheartened by the unfortunate step the UGC Journals Team has taken ignoring the credentials of this prestigious Indian Journal which is being viewed by over 5000 visitors every month. Ever since we started the dynamic website of the Journal in 2014, over 259000 visitors has visited the website for various academic purposes including downloading, consultation and publication of the articles. This voluminous number of visitors visiting the MSI website from all over the World is a proof enough for the quality of material being published in the Journal. Kindly keep on contributing your good research and review articles to the Journal. With the type of information regarding the Journal I have supplied to University Grants Commission, I have every hope that shortly it will be there in the approved list of Journals.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the contributors and the reviewers of the research articles published in this issue of Kavaka.

ABSTRACT

Fungi living without any symptoms within the tissue of upper subgroups of are known as endophytic fungi. Since the discovery of Taxol, these fungi have received immense attention both from mycologists and microbiologists that resulted in the discovery of cryptocandin, camptothecin, vincristine and several other clinically useful small molecules. The Indian subcontinent, owing to its rich biodiversity, offers a great opportunity to discover unexplored fungi for pharmaceutical applications. For several years at Basic ResearchCentre ofHoechstMarionRoussel Limited and Research Centre of Piramal Enterprises, Mumbai, the prime interest was to use these fungi for drug discovery purposes using various enzymes, cell and target based screening to discover anticancer,anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial compounds.Various approaches including epigenetic tools, co-culture strategy,
biotransformation and gene-editing tools, which are not routinely used in drugdiscoveryprograms, are alsobriefly discussed.

ABSTRACT

As part of keratinophilic fungal diversity project in Maharashtra state of India, an unusual dermatophyte was isolated by hair baiting technique from soil collected from the vicinity of a village barbershop in Buldana district of Maharashtra. Sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 28S rRNA region of new isolate suggested that it belong to a new species of the recently circumscribed genus Nannizzia, forming unusual cylindrical to clavate macroconidia. Sequence similarity search of its ITS region in the CBS dermatophyte database showed a maximum similarity of 91% with Microsporum sp. (A. corniculatum)-CBS 365.81 and 90.4% with M. persicolor (CBS 871.70). Phylogenetically the new species is close to N. praecox and N. persicolor , forming a monophyletic clade with them in the ITS tree. The present communication describes this new species (N. graeserae sp. nov.) based on morphology and sequence divergence in the ITS region. The ITS sequence alignment of dermatophyte species thatproduce rough walled macroconidia showed certain base positions which have genus-specific nucleotide changes.

ABSTRACT

Edible fungi are used as antidiabetics since ancient times. In the present studies aqueous extract of some edible macrofungi viz., Calocybe indica Purkay. & A. Chandra , Cantharellus subalbidus Smith & Morse , Macrolepiota procera (Scop.) Singer , Pleurotus florida (Mont.) Singer, P.ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm., Termitomyces heimii K. Natarajan and Tuber aestivum Vitt. were analyzed for their in vitro antidiabetic activity.Tested macrofungi exerted a significant inhibitory effect on glucose movement out of dialysis membrane. This effect was found to be concentration and time dependent. Higher the concentration of aqueous extract higher its activity was. Most effective concentration in present studies was found to be 50g/L. Aqueous extract of P. ostreatus was able to inhibit glucose movement out of dialysis bags at all concentrations tested when compared with other macrofungal extracts. The result clearly suggests that these macrofungi can be used as an alternative therapy for diabetes treatment.

ABSTRACT

 

Pseudoperonospora cubensis, an Oomycetous fungus causing downy mildew in muskmelon is most important foliar pathogen, causingsignificant yield losses. The present study was conducted to reduce fungicide load and work out alternate method for control of this disease. Different SAR compounds were tested and exogenous foliar sprays of different conc. of Salicylic acid, Jasmonic acid and Bion (Benzothiadiazole-BTH) @ 50µM, 250µM, 500µM, 1000µM and of β amino butyric acid of 20 mM, 30mM, 50 mM, 100mM were given for inducing resistance in muskmelon against downy mildew. Concentration of Salicylic acid, Jasmonic acid and Bion @ 500 µM, and β amino butyric acid @ 50 mM gave good control of disease. Protein content of treated muskmelon plant varied from 9.6 to 12.7 mg/g fresh weight compared to 3.9 mg/g fresh weight in control. Induction of proteins and defense enzymes was systemic in nature in response to all the four elicitors. The inducers also stimulated the activities of pathogenesis related proteins (Pr- proteins) i.e. β-1,3 glucanase, Peroxidase (POD), and defense related proteins i.e. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO), Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) from 26 to 99 % indicating induced resistance in treated muskmelon plants as compared to control. Electrophoretic protein profiling of treated muskmelon plants also confirmed the induction of pathogenesis-related proteins ranging from 15- 75 kDa along with some other proteins. Total chlorophyll and carotenoids also showed spike of 2% to 91 % in response to elicitors. Salicylic acid gave best results with 93.8 % disease control followed by Jasmonic acid with 87.2%; whereas Bion and β amino butyric acid were almost at par with each other and gave 76 % disease control as compared to control plants. Thus integration of disease tolerance and salicylic acid spray resulted in effective and eco-friendly control of downy mildew in muskmelon.

 

Keywords: Muskmelon, systemic acquired resistance, salicylic acid, Jasmonic acid,βamino butyric acids (BABA), Benzothiadiazole (BTH), downymildews.

ABSTRACT

Azo dyes are extensively used in textile industry to dye the fabrics. The unbound dye enters into the environment through textile industry effluents and contaminates the surrounding water bodies. Azo dyes are known to be cytotoxic and genotoxic to living beings. High amount of energy is required to break the stable N=N- bond of azo dyes. Microbial degradation of azo dyes by bacteria and fungi have been extensively studied. The present study was carried out employing 12 fungal strains, each of 6 from terrestrial and mangrove forests for decolorization of azo dyes. Laccase and peroxidase assays were performed to identify the positive strains. Diaporthe sp. of terrestrial forests and Trimmatostroma sp. of marine origin were positive for laccase assay while none of the other strains were positive for peroxidase test. Azo dye degradation studies were performed with positive Laccase fungal strains. Three azo dyes namely, Congo red, Crystal violet and Remazol brilliant blue were chosen for degradation studies. Degradation studies were performed with individual dyes at 12.5 and 25 µg/mL concentrations. The 25 µg/mLconcentration of Azo dyes was used to study the pH optima at 5,6,7,8 range by keeping temperature constant at 28 oC and by incubating the treatments between 1 and 7 days to select the optimum conditions forAzo dye degradation by the selected fungi. Diaporthe sp. could degrade the azo dyes at pH 5 and/or 6 whereas Trimmatostroma sp.at pH 7 and/or 8 to the maximum extent at the end of the 7 th day.

ABSTRACT

Endophytic fungi were isolated from leaf and bark (phellophyte- endophytic fungi of bark) tissues of the monocotyledon tree, Areca catechu L. growing in two different habitats. Five hundred leaf and bark segments were screened for endophytic fungi. A total of 305 endophytic fungal isolates representing 27 different fungal taxa were isolated. Leaf tissue had more endophytic fungi than the bark tissue. Hyphomycetes were the most dominant group in this study followed by Coelomycetes, Ascomycetes, Zygomycetes and sterile mycelia. Both the habitats had few common endophytic fungi and some appeared to be host and habitat specific.

ABSTRACT

Seven biodiesel plants, namely Jatropha curcas, Ricinus communis, Pongamia pinnata, Sapindus mukorossi, Mesua ferrea, Terminalia bellerica and Cascabela thevetia were collected from oil fields of Assam for isolation of endophytic fungi. Besides morphological characterization, molecular identification of the endophytic isolates was done by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS). The sequences were submitted to NCBI GenBank while the phylogenetic tree was submitted to TreeBase for obtaining accession numbers. Diversity assessment of the total 27 fungal isolates obtained from 155 segments of different plants was carried out to assess the distribution patterns. Ten numbers of fungal isolates obtained from Cascabela thevetia were dominant when compared to other plants. There were high colonization rate in leaf part of plants when compared to other parts which was also indicated by one way ANOVA with a significant colonization of fungal isolates in leaf part of the plants. Density of Colletotrichum sp. was dominant with 26% relative frequency. Total lipid extraction of the fungal isolates was performed and application of one way ANOVA indicated a significant percentage of total lipid found in isolates SPSRJ27 and SPSRJL36 isolated from leaf part and isolate SPSRJL35 isolated from stem part of the plants. Further studies on growth optimization of lipid producing isolates may open up avenues for their use as oleaginous fungi.

ABSTRACT

This study provides functional attributes of uncooked and cooked edible tender fruit bodies of an ectomycorrhizal gasteroid mushroom Astraeus hygrometricus sampled from the Western Ghats of India. The pH-dependent protein solubility was highest at pH 10 in uncooked (p<0.01) and cooked samples with least solubility at pH 8 and pH 4, respectively. The least gelation concentration was 18% and 20% in uncooked and cooked samples, respectively. The water-absorption capacity was higher in cooked samples (p<0.01), whereas it was opposite for the oil-absorption capacity (p>0.05). Emulsion activity was higher in uncooked samples, while emulsion stability was higher in cooked samples (p>0.05). The cooked samples showed high foam capacity (p<0.01) as well as foam stability (p<0.001). The principal component analysis (PCA) depicted that the proximal components like total lipids and crude fibre contents have major role in controlling the functional properties. The functional properties of uncooked as well as cooked tender fruit bodies of A. hygrometricus have selective advantages and serve as valuable raw material in production of functional foods and pharmaceutical products with desired qualities.

ABSTRACT

This is the first report of Termitomyces bulborhizus T.Z. Wei, holomorph from Taleigao, Tiswadi and Latambarcem, Bicholim, Goa, India, along with its habit, habitat, sporodochial stage (anamorph), sporophores (teleomorph) and characters in pure cultures. T. bulborhizus is characterized by pale brown to darker, rugose pileus, having swollen stipe with bulbous base showing melanised, striate, rivulose surface. During the survey as many as 13 different developmental stages of the mushroom from primodia to mature sporophores were documented. Spherocysts with lipid globules were prominently detected in subhymenium. Sporodochial culture showed thin walled, simple septate hyphae. Basidiome context culture from the teleomorph showed typical conidia, globose sphaerocysts, aggregated hyphae, and hyphal knots with associated mycelia which take up intense staining with Ammonical Congo Red in addition to the presence of numerous Calcium oxalate mycoliths.

ABSTRACT

In the present investigation, 46 endophytic fungi were isolated from surface sterilized plant parts (root, stem, leaf and petiole) of six medicinal herbs viz., Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f., Abrus precatorius L., Asparagus racemosus Willd., Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don., Hemidesmus indicus (L.) R. Br. & Plumbago zeylanica L. and 34 endophytic fungi were isolated from three medicinal shrubs viz., Abutilon indicum (L.) Sweet, Adhatoda vasica Nees and Ocimum sanctum L. A total of 12 genera of fungi including Acremonium, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Aureobasidium, Bipolaris, Colletotrichum, Curvularia, Fusarium, Paecilomyces, Penicillium, Pestalotiopsis, Neocosmospora and seven sterile forms were identified. Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was dominant in Asparagus racemosus, Catharanthus roseus and Plumbago zeylanica. Maximum similarity of endophytic assemblages was observed between P. zeylanica and Asparagus racemosus.

ABSTRACT

Microorganisms are ubiquitous in distribution. They are present in diverse environments including extremophilic regions and adapt physiologically to these environment. In the present study, isolation and screening of acidophilic fungi was carried out from eight mines of Chhattisgarh region viz., Laxman coalfield mine, Kusmunda mine, Dalli mine, Rajhara mine, BIOP mine, Hirri mine, Rawan mine, Nandini mine and one ore-dumping site of Bhilai Steel Plant. A total of 64 fungal isolates belonging to nine genera i.e., Aspergillus, Alternaria, Penicillium, Sterila, Mucor, Trichoderma, Fusarium, Phoma and Paecilomyces were isolated, identified and evaluated for their acid production ability. Of the 29 positive acidophilic fungi assayed quantitatively, Aspergillus niger gr. NFCCI-3303 and Penicillium sp 2 NFCCI-3305 were found to be significantly higher producer of organic acids and can be good source for biomining.

ABSTRACT

Fusarium wilt incited by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis (Fom) cause severe losses up to 100% in melon worldwide. Fusarium is epidemic due to continuous cultivation of susceptible varieties. Different edaphic factors influence wilt development in melon. Among preventive measure, resistant varieties are the most reliable control measure in hand. Four Fom physiological races were identified: 0, 1, 2 and 1, 2. In majority cases, resistance was governed by Fom-1 (race 0 and 2) and Fom-2 (race 0 and 1). Fom-2 encodes a protein which is characterized by the presence of NBS-LRR (Nucleotide Binding Site-Leucine Rich Repeat) domains. Fom-3 and fom-4 resistant gene have been identified which can built resistance along with Fom-1. While most of the present cultivars are susceptible to races 1, 2. Accessions of sub sp. agrestis have high level of resistance to races 1, 2 while, certain measurable resistance have also been found within sub sp. melo viz., few Far-East melon. Indian melon germplasm have great potential to combate against existing and newly evolving Fom races. Fluorescent study may open new window for identifying resistant cultivars. Biotechnological tools for identifying resistance genes can serve for selection of genotypes. QTL and omic's approach were reported for developing multiple resistant cultivar for different races. An integrated approach may prevent disease until durable and multigenic resistant variety/hybrid will not develop.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to synthesize safe, novel and cost-effective silver nanoparticles (SNPs) without using any synthetic reducing and capping agents. Endophytic fungal extract of Pestalotiopsis versicolor (Speg.) Steyaert was used for the synthesis of SNPs. The synthesized SNPs were tested for their antibacterial and azo dye degradation efficacy. The synthesized SNPs showed signature surface plasmon resonance at 425 nm. The size and morphology of SNPs were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Crystallite nature of the SNPs was confirmed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SNPs exhibited strong antibacterial activity against both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and also showed good azo dye-degrading potential against Congo red, Rhodamine B and Orange G.

 

Keywords: Green synthesis, silver nanoparticles (SNPs), TEM; antibacterial, dye decolourization

ABSTRACT

Present investigation pertains to study the impact of different culture media, temperature range, pH range, incubation period and effect of light and darkness on the vegetative growth of Pleurotus cystidiosus O.K.Mill. Out of the media selected for evaluation, best mycelial growth (6.3cm) was recorded in Malt Extract Agar (solid medium) and Yeast Glucose Medium (liquid medium), which is 7.9 mg/ml. Out of the six different temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40˚C), best mycelial growth was obtained at 30 ± 1˚C in both solid (6.3cm) as well as liquid medium (8.2 mg/ml). Acidic pH (6.5) supported the best mycelial growth in solid (6.3 cm) as well as liquid medium (12.9 mg/ml), when the mycelium was grown in media with pH ranging from 3.0-10.0. For incubation period, the experiment was conducted for sixteen days in Yeast Glucose Medium and maximum mycelial growth (6.93 mg/ml) was recorded on 13th day of incubation. Under light condition mycelial growth was quite less in both solid (5.06 cm) as well as liquid media (6.46 mg/ml) in comparison to dark condition under which growth was 6.3 cm in solid medium and 7.63 mg/ml in the liquid medium, which is comparatively on the higher side.

ABSTRACT

The genus Saksenaea was first discovered from India in 1953 from the forest soils of Sagar (Madhya Pradesh) by Late Professor S.B.Saksena of Dr. Hari Singh Gour University, Sagar (M.P.) and named after his Ph.D. supervisor, Prof. R.K.Saksena of Allahabad University, Allahabad. Incidentally the same fungus was discovered by Farrow around this time in 1954 from Barro Colorado Island from the soils of Panama region. The fungus was once thought to be limited in distribution has now been reported from various places from India and abroad. Because of its unique sporangial characters and non-motile spores in a columellate sporangium it was placed in the order Mucorales of the Division Zygomycota. Ellis and Hesseltine (1974) created a new family Saksenaeaceae for the genus. However, Kirk et al. (2008) have placed the genus in the family Radiomycetaceae. The taxonomic status of the family has been critically evaluated. In 1976, Azello et al published an important paper in which the fungus was found to be serious human pathogen. From 1976 to 2017, more than 50 research papers have been published on the pathogenic nature of the fungus causing severe cutaneous, sub-cutaneous and rhino-orbital-cerebral infections on humans as well as animals. In 2010, Alvarej et al. published a paper based on molecular phylogeny and proposed two more species of this genus. The paper closes with a discussion on the origin of Zygomycetes and the possible origin of Zygomycetes from Chytridiaceous ancestors such as Nowakowskiella whose sporangia look very similar to Saksenaea and also based on biochemical parameters of Chytridiomycetes and Zygomycetes.

KEY WORDS : Saksenaea, Taxonomy, pathogenic aspects and phylogeny.

ABSTRACT

Fungi represent an important and highly diverse group of eukaryotic microbes on earth. They play a vital role in ecosystem by driving biogeochemical cycling and nutrient uptake eventually influencing the ecological fitness. As compared to bacterial counterpart of microbiome the knowledge about fungi is still lacking from a mycobiome perspective which represents the total fungal biota in the environment. Fungi are widely distributed across all major biomes on earth. However, global fungal diversity patterns are determined by abiotic factors, geographical location, climate change and other environmental factors. With advances in high throughput sequencing platforms fungal biodiversity has been unraveled at a greater depth. This has shed light on fungal community dynamics and its contrasting features from microbiome perspectives. Additionally, a growing body of evidence suggests inter and intra-kingdom interactions and possible role of mycobiome as an integral part of the human welfare. In this article, the mycobiome is discussed in context of its association and significance in major biomes of earth.

Keywords: Fungi, biomes, next generation sequencing, mycobiome, microbiome

ABSTRACT

Fresh bark pieces of Mimusops elengi Linn. were used for the isolation of fungal endophytes using standard methods. Mimusops elengi is a small to a large evergreen medicinal plant found all over the different parts of India. Seventy one endophytic fungi belonging to ascomycetes (11.27%), coelomycetes (39.44%) and hyphomycetes (49.29%) were isolated from 200 segments of Mimusops elengi collected from Dr. H. S. Gour University campus in Sagar District, Madhya Pradesh, India. The identification of these fungi was confirmed by the BLAST search of sequences of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 rDNA region against the NCBI/GenBank data and compared with deposited sequences for identification purpose. Sixteen different fungal species belonging to 16 genera viz. Botryosphaeria mamane, Chaetomium globosum, Rhytidhysteron sp., Phoma putaminum, Pestaliopsis sp., Colletotricum gleosporoides, Phomopsis sp., Acremonium sp., Alternaria alternata, Beltraniella portoricensis, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium chlamydosporum, Myrothecium verrucaria, Nigrospora oryzae and Torula herbarum were isolated. The most frequently isolated endophytes were Cladosporium cladosporioides (22.53%), Pestaliopsis sp.,(19.71%), Phomopsis sp., (9.86%) and Chaetomium globosum (8.45%). This study shows that a great number of endophytic fungi exist in the samples obtained from bark samples of M. elengi.

Key words: Fungal endophytes, bark samples, Mimusops elengi, medicinal plants.

ABSTRACT


Twenty three species belonging to ten genera of fungi were isolated by two methods from three saltern soils of southern India. Species of Aspergillus were the most common fungi present in these samples. Three of these fungi, viz. Aspergillus sp. 3, A. terreus, and a sterile fungus (SF2) were further studied for their salt tolerance, production of some extracellular enzymes and bioactive metabolites as influenced by external salt concentration. The fungi were halotolerant and not halophilic and two of them could grow on 20% NaCl medium. Extracellular enzyme production was influenced by salt in these fungi. Some enzymes were produced through a range of salt concentration (0 to 18 %), some enzymes showed more activity in the presence of salt and a few enzymes were salt-induced. Antialgal and antifungal metabolites were elaborated only in the presence of salt.

KEY WORDS : Extremozymes, halotolerant, salt tolerant fungi

ABSTRACT

Phosphorus is an important nutrient required for plant growth, yield and adaptability to different ecological conditions. Many Indian soils are deficient in phosphorus. The organic form of available phosphorus is meagre and mineral phosphorus such as rock phosphate is found in large quantities. The mineral phosphorus needs to be solubilized by varied groups of microorganisms, thus making 'P' available for crop plants and forestry. This review presents information on role of phosphate solubilizing fungi and microbes for sustainable agriculture and agro-forestry.

ABSTRACT
 
Thermophilic moulds are capable of degrading plant organic residues at elevated temperatures by secreting a large array of hydrolases. These moulds produce cellulolytic enzymes in submerged as well as solid substrate fermentations. Cellulases from these moulds have been characterized, which display a high thermostability, catalytic activity and fast rate of reactions as compared to their mesophilic counterparts. Their optimal activities lie in the range of 50-70 o C and pH of 3.0-6.0 with molecular masses between 40 and 240 kDa. The genes encoding cellulolytic enzymes of the moulds have been cloned and expressed in both homologous and heterologous systems. Cellulolytic enzymes of thermophilic moulds have been shown to be efficient in plant biomass degradation. The applicability of cellulases in a number of biotechnological processes such as the production of biofuels, food and animal feeds, detergents and paper pulp processing has been demonstrated.

ABSTRACT

Seasonal occurrence of marine ascomycetes and anamorphic marine fungi in mangroves of Godavari and Krishna deltas, East coast of India was studied. The results showed more percentage occurrence of ascomycetes during dry period and more anamorphic fungi during wet period and converse was true in dry and wet periods for respective groups where the percentage occurrence was less than the usual. Among the various environmental factors studied such as maximum and minimum air temperatures, relative humidity, salinity, surface water temperature and average monthly rainfall only average monthly rainfall showed an effect on the species richness and abundance of ascomycetes and anamorphs. No or low rain fall favored higher percentage of ascomycetes and a good rainfall has favored an increase in the anamorphic fungi and a decrease in ascomycetes.


Key words: Seasonality, Ascomycetes, anamorphic marine fungi, Rhizophora spp., Avicennia spp.

ABSTRACT
The discipline 'aquatic hyphomycetology' with exciting historical background addresses the biology and ecology of a specific group of mycota adapted to stream ecosystems. The major attractions of these fungi are production of characteristic conidia (mainly staurosporous and scolecosporous) and wide geographic distribution. Their important ecological functions include breakdown and mineralization of plant lignocellulosic substrata and the transfer of energy to higher trophic levels in streams. The global proportion of life sustaining freshwater amounts to 2.75% with only 0.01% present as surface water in diverse habitats. Therefore, occurrence, distribution and role of aquatic hyphomycetes in freshwater food webs are of immense significance. In addition to field studies in streams, these fungi serve as model community for mesocosm and microcosm experiments to address many ecological issues. Many species of aquatic hyphomycetes remain unknown and are yet to be explored.
There are many unsettled questions on their occurrence, distribution, adaptations and functions. In the current global scenario (climate change, global warming and pollution), the role of aquatic hyphomycetes in streams is highly valuable to understand their ecosystem services to enforce conservation strategies. This contribution is a general account of the inventory, approaches, boundaries, ecological services and future challenges concerning aquatic hyphomycetes.

ABSTRACT
The horizontally transmitted fungal endophytes, especially the members of Ascomycota , establish endosymbiotic relationship with plants of all lineages. Endophytes are universal in their occurrence and have been reported from plants from different habitats. Their ability to elaborate an array of secondary metabolites showing different desirable biological activities has resulted in studying these fungi for technological use. It is imperative that we conduct basic studies to acquire information about the biology of endophytes to harness more profitably their technological traits.

ABSTRACT
This study outlines the pattern of colonization and co-occurrence of saprophytic fungi on woody litter of Avicennia officinalis tree species in Nethravathi mangrove. Two types of woody litter (naturally and artificially submerged) during two seasons (monsoon and summer) were assessed. Natural woody litter consists of 57 fungal species, while it was 34 species in submerged woody litter. Composition of fungi was a mosaic of typical marine and terrestrial fungi. Higher number of fungi (teleomorphs, anamorphs and core-group species) was found in natural than submerged wood, so also during monsoon than summer. Eight species (Aniptodera sp., Lignincola laevis, Lulworthia grandispora, Savoryella lignicola, S. paucispora, Tricladium linderi, Tirispora sp. and Zalerion varia) were common to natural and submerged wood in both seasons. The Shannon diversity was higher during monsoon than summer irrespective of type of wood assessed. The co-occurrence of fungi per wood was maximum up to 8 and 11 species during monsoon in submerged and natural wood, respectively. The pattern of three fungal species co- occurrence was also similar to overall colonization on woody litter. In both wood types, three species co-occurrence was the highest in both seasons. Per cent co-occurrence of 20 core-group species showed dominance in natural than in submerged wood, so also during monsoon than summer. Single species occurrence of core-group fungi on woody litter was as low as 0% (16 core-group fungi on either of wood or season) and 12% (Lignincola laevis). The core-group fungus L. laevis co-occurred up to a maximum of 72% during summer in natural wood which reveals its compatibility and accommodating ability with other associated fungi. Overall, this study reveals that the colonization and co-occurrence of fungi on woody litter in mangroves are dependent on the type of woody litter as well as the monitoring season.

ABSTRACT
In view of application of laccase in bioremediation of textile dyes, a total of six endophytic fungi were isolated from needle of healthy Gymnosperm plant,Cupressus torulosa D. Don of Garhwal, Himalayan region. The colonization rate of these fungi on PDA was higher for various sampling sites in S1 (90) >S2(60) > S3 (40) but colonization rate of fungi in KMM was S3(73) > S1(60)> S2(40). All endophytic fungi were screened for laccase assay as it plays a crucial role in detoxification of toxic dye for human health. Out of six fungi only one endophytic fungus known as KCT34 showed significant laccase activity in solid and liquid media. Initial screening on the malt extract agar plates supplemented with 200 mg L−1 of each Congo red, Rosebangal, Orange G and Rhodamine B dye showed that KCT34 was able to decolorize all of the four dyes. Quantitative analysis of the dye decolorization showed that KCT34 was able to decolorize textile dyes efficiently and dye decolorization percentage was maximum on 16th day with percentage ranging from 90.45% for Congo red, 87.91% for Rose bangal, 85.81% for Orange G and 54.39% for Rhodamine B. Molecular identification of the fungal isolate KCT34 using primer ITS1 and ITS4 showed 99% sequence similarity with Daldinia sp, an Ascomycetous fungus. The ability to decolorize different types of textile dyes by the isolated Daldinia sp. suggested a possible application of fungal endophytes in the decolorization of dyestuff effluents from textile, food and aquaculture industries.

ABSTRACT
Around 30 different mangrove species have been screened for fungal endophytes from different geographical locations that have revealed that the genera of fungi isolated from terrestrial plants are also present in the mangroves, especially, Phomopsis, Phyllosticta, Sporormiella, etc. Species belonging to mangrove Rhizophora from different geographical locations, have been studied for fungal endophytes. Mangrove fungal endophytes have been studied for the production of bioactive compounds, which has resulted in recording of a wide array of compounds having antibiofilm, anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral and insecticidal activities. An appraisal has been presented on these aspects in this paper.

ABSTRACT
A nonpathogenic mutant of Botrytis cinerea was obtained by insertional mutagenesis using Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation. The mutant (Bcnpm) was deficient in expression of a predicted protein unique to B. cinerea. No disease symptoms were observed on tomato plants inoculated with Bcnpm. Bcnpm exhibited reduced ability to penetrate and colonize leaf tissue as compared to its wild type (WT). The concentration of oxalic acid was considerably reduced in Bcnpm. The tomato plants inoculated with Bcnpm provoked lesser oxidative damage in terms of H 2 O 2 production and lipid peroxidation. The magnitude of defence response elicited by Bcnpm was far lesser than that from WT. Bcnpm inoculated plants possessed lower concentration of phenols and reduced activities of defence and antioxidative enzymes. Additionally, qRT-PCR analysis revealed lesser transcript levels of some defence related genes in Bcnpm as compared to WT. It was further observed that pre-inoculation of tomato plants with Bcnpm offered protection to plants challenged with biotic stress. The mechanism behind this protective ability could be induced resistance which might have resulted in priming the plant defence response.
