EVALLO E., TAGUIAM J.D., BENGOA J., MAGHIRANG R., BALENDRES M.A. (2021): First report of Colletotrichum fructicola, causing anthracnose of Hylocereus plants, in the Philippines.   [Hylocereus undatus, Hylocereus monacanthus, Hylocereus megalanthus, cactus disease, pathogenicity test.]  Czech Mycology 73(1): 79-90   (published: 14th April, 2021)
  abstract   Cultivation of dragon fruit plants (Hylocereus spp.) in the Philippines has increased over the past years, and its diseases remain one of the major production challenges. In this study, a fungal pathogen, so far unknown in the country, was isolated from H. undatus from anthracnose-like lesion. Isolate MBDF0037C-1 was identified as Colletotrichum fructicola, based on combined morphological and molecular characterisation. This is the first record of C. fructicola causing anthracnose of dragon fruit plants in the Philippines. The isolate caused anthracnose to H. undatus and H. monacanthus, but not to H. megalanthus, in repeated in-vitro and in-vivo pathogenicity tests. Therefore, this study also highlights H. megalanthus as a potential source of resistance to anthracnose in dragon fruit breeding programmes.

SHARMA G., SHENOY B.D. (2013): Multigene sequence-based identification of Colletotrichum cymbidiicola, C. karstii and C. phyllanthi from India.   [anthracnose, Colletotrichum, identification, phylogeny, systematics]  Czech Mycology 65(1): 79-88   (published: 10th June, 2013)
  abstract   In this study, we employed multilocus phylogenetic analysis for species identification of six Colletotrichum isolates belonging to the C. boninense species complex from India. Maximum parsimony analysis of the ITS/ 5.8S RNA, partial act, cal, chs1, gapdh, his3 and tub2 gene regions identified morphologically similar species, C. cymbidiicola, C. karstii and C. phyllanthi from diverse plant samples of Indian origin. Morphological description and photographic illustrations of C. phyllanthi from freshly collected material are provided, as the ex-type culture of C. phyllanthi deposited in CBS is in non- sporulating state. This is the first report of C. cymbidiicola and C. karstii from India. We are also reporting two new hosts: Bauhinia variegata (Orchid tree) and Bougainvillea glabra (Paper flower) for C. phyllanthi, and one new host: Olea dioica (Rose sandalwood) for C. karstii.

KUMARAN R.S., KANNABIRAN B. (2003): Mycotoxic effect of Abrus precatorius and Rauvolfia tetraphylla root extracts on the growth of Colletotrichum capsici.   [root extracts, antifungal activity, mycelial biomass, protein, nucleic acid]  Czech Mycology 55(1-2): 51-56   (published: 23rd July, 2003)
  abstract   Ethanolic root extracts of Abrus precatorius and Rauvolfia tetraphylla and the chemical fungicide Mancozeb were tested for their mycotoxicity on the mycelial growth (biomass), total protein and nucleic acid content of Colletotrichum, capsici. The extracts of Abrus precatorius showed significant inhibition on mycelial biomass and synthesis of total protein, DNA and RNA. The mycotoxicity might be due to the presence of antifungal compounds like proteins, alkaloids, phenolics and other secondary metabolites in root extracts.

  abstract   An orientational survey of taxonomy of fungi which have been described as agents of human mycoses is given. An alphabetical list of 163 agents contains data on synonyms of the individual species and organs afflicted by them. The literature citation of the earliest paper calling attention to pathogenicity is provided. Current nomenclature of anamorph and teleomorph stages and their mutual relation is discussed.

JECHOVÁ V. (1965): Some fungal parasits of Digitalis lanata Ehrh.  Česká Mykologie 19(1): 57-63   (published: 1965)
  abstract   The fungi causing diseases of cultivated Digitalis lanata in 1962–1963 include Colletotrichum fuscum, Fusarium oxysporum, and Botrytis cinerea. Their morphology, biology, and symptoms are described. These pathogens spread mainly through seeds and plant debris and further by rain, wind, insects, or cultivation activities.

KRUPODOROVA T., BARSHTEYN V., KIZITSKA T., RATUSHNYAK V., BLUME Y. (2023): Antagonistic activity of selected macromycetes against two harmful micromycetes.   [ascomycetes, Aspergillus niger, basidiomycetes, dual-culture, Penicillium polonicum.]  Czech Mycology 75(1): 85-100   (published: 23rd June, 2023)
  abstract   Competition between 31 macromycete species and two harmful micromycetes Aspergillus niger and Penicillium polonicum was evaluated using dual-culture plate assay. All investigated fungi, except for Inonotus obliquus and Lepista luscina, possessed different levels of antagonistic activity against the tested micromycetes. Hypsizygus marmoreus and Lyophyllum shimeji were inactive against A. niger. Morchella esculenta and Oxyporus obducens were passive in the case of co-growth with P. polonicum. The study of fungal interactions showed variability in types of reactions and level of their visualisation. Co-cultivation of the studied species resulted in the following reactions: deadlock after mycelial contact and at a distance, partial or complete replacement after initial deadlock on contact. In general, the studied macromycetes showed moderate activity against the two micromycetes, as 11 species showed active and 7 species moderate antagonism. Results revealed higher antagonistic activity of macromycetes against P. polonicum than in A. niger co-cultures. Wood-decaying species Ganoderma lucidum and Trametes versicolor were the most active fungi against the two tested micromycetes with a maximal antagonism index. These findings provide valuable insights which can be further explored by means of in vivo assays to find a suitable agent for the biocontrol of diseases or spoilage caused by A. niger and P. polonicum.

DEEPTHI A.S., RAY J.G. (2021): Ecological relevance of the endophytic fungal diversity in velamen roots of tropical epiphytic orchids.   [epiphytes, Orchidaceae, root-associated endophytes, Trichoderma, Endomelanconiopsis, Lasiodiplodia.]  Czech Mycology 73(1): 91-108   (published: 17th May, 2021)
  abstract   The velamen roots in epiphytic orchids are rather complex, and their environmental role remains poorly understood. Fungal associates are known in the velamen roots of tropical orchids, but the magnitude of their diversity in particular species remains unknown. The primary aim of this work was to explore endophytic fungal species associated with the velamen roots of three tropical epiphytic orchids. Velamen roots were collected from 30 plants of Rhynchostylis retusa and 25 plants each of Epidendrum radicans and Oncidium sphacelatum. Endophytic fungi were isolated from 2160 segments. Twenty species of velamen-root-associated fungal endophytes were separated with a culture technique. The isolated strains were grouped into morphotypes, subsequently identified morphologically and by means of ITS DNA barcoding. Ascomycota were the dominant group with 18 species. Trichoderma cf. asperellum, Endomelanconiopsis endophytica, Trichoderma cf. atroviride and Lasiodiplodia theobromae were the most frequent taxa isolated. A majority of the identified fungi were common to more than one orchid. Colonisation rate, isolation rate, Shannon-Wiener diversity index, species richness and species evenness of the endophytic fungi from different orchids were studied and were tested for significance with the Kruskal-Wallis H test. The colonisation rate and isolation rate of fungal associates in the velamen roots were found to be distinctly the lowest in Rhynchostylis retusa.

BHAVANA N.S., PRAKASH H.S., NALINI M.S. (2019): Antioxidative and L-asparaginase potentials of fungal endophytes from Rauvolfia densiflora (Apocynaceae), an ethnomedicinal species of Western Ghats.   [India, endophytic fungi, Penicillium chrysogenum, antioxidant, L-asparaginase, phenolic content.]  Czech Mycology 71(2): 187-203   (published: 19th December, 2019)
  abstract   This study focuses on the isolation and molecular characterisation of fungal endophytes from an ethnomedicinal plant, Rauvolfia densiflora (Apocynaceae), and an evaluation of antioxidative and L-asparaginase potentials. Fungal endophytes were isolated from leaf and stem parts of R. densiflora collected from the site of Talacauvery, Western Ghats, India. The highest colonisation frequency was found in leaves (95.5%), followed by stem parts (63.5%). A total of 19 fungal morphotypes belonging to 11 genera were identified by analysing the ITS sequences of the endophytes. The strains were screened for asparaginase production by qualitative plate assay and quantification by Nesslerisation. Maximum activity was recorded in the Penicillium chrysogenum culture (3.77 IU/ml). Submerged fermentation and ethyl acetate extraction were carried out to obtain secondary metabolites for the evaluation of total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidative potentials. The TPC of fungal extracts ranged from 12.37 to 89.29 mg GAE/g dry extract and the IC value of scavenging activity from 26.64 to 547.23 μg/ml. The P. chrysogenum strain 50 (MH392736) was found to have the potentially highest total phenolic content and a high antioxidant capacity. This is the first report on the characterisation of fungal endophytes from R. densiflora and their antioxidative and L-asparaginase potentials.

NOVOTNÝ D., LUKÁŠ J., BROŽOVÁ J., RŮŽIČKOVÁ P. (2019): Comparison of the occurrence of fungi causing postharvest diseases of apples grown in organic and integrated production systems in orchards in the Czech Republic.   [Malus domestica, organic production, integrated production, Neofabraea, Penicillium.]  Czech Mycology 71(1): 99-121   (published: 28th June, 2019)
  abstract   During the years 2013–2015, the occurrence of fungi causing postharvest diseases of apples was evaluated in three apple orchards with integrated and organic production systems in the Czech Republic. The postharvest disease fungi were more frequently recorded in fruits from organically cultivated apple trees (average 29.97%) than those from integrated production (17.67%). This difference is statistically significant. Neofabraea, Penicillium, Alternaria and a sterile grey mycelium were the most frequently recorded taxa in apples grown in organic and integrated production systems. There were also significant differences in the frequency of occurrence of the most frequent fungal taxa between years. In 2013 and 2014, Neofabraea was the most frequently isolated genus in both cultivation systems, whereas in 2015, Penicillium was the most frequently recorded genus also in both cultivation systems, which was likely caused by the low precipitation in the 2015 growing season.

PARVEEN S., WANI A.H., BHAT M.Y., PALA S.A. (2018): Comparative study of the antimycotic activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Berberis lyceum and Rumex obtusifolius against selected rot fungi.   [plant extracts, phytochemicals, antimycotic effectiveness, minimum inhibitory concentration, inhibition zone]  Czech Mycology 70(1): 47-56   (published: 16th March, 2018)
  abstract   Two medicinal plants, Berberis lyceum and Rumex obtusifolius, were screened for the presence of various phytochemicals and for their antifungal activity. The phytochemical tests carried out in the present study demonstrated the presence of phenols, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, quinones and terpenoids in the plant extracts. Therefore, ethanolic and aqueous extracts of these medicinal plants were evaluated for their antifungal activity against Penicillium chrysogenum, Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium herbarum and Trichothecium roseum, using the agar well diffusion method. All the plant extracts at different concentrations showed significant antifungal activity against the tested fungi. Of the two plant extracts, B. lyceum showed stronger antifungal activity than R. obtusifolius. Ethanolic extracts of both plants showed stronger mycelial growth inhibition than aqueous extracts. The ethanolic extracts of B. lyceum showed the strongest antifungal activity against Penicillium chrysogenum (inhibition zone diameter of 41 mm) followed by the ethanolic extracts of R. obtusifolius against P. chrysogenum (inhibition zone diameter 39 mm). Hence, it is concluded that these medicinal plants have a broad-spectrum antifungal activity and are a potential alternative to reduce various fungal pathogens.

VAHEDI-DARMIYAN M.E., JAHANI M., MIRZAEE M.R., ASGARI B. (2017): A noteworthy record of endophytic Quambalaria cyanescens from Punica granatum in Iran.   [endophyte, flower, pomegranate, Quambalariaceae.]  Czech Mycology 69(2): 113-123   (published: 26th July, 2017)
  abstract   During an investigation into endophytic fungi associated with pomegranate in the South Khorasan Province of Iran, 2015–2016, five isolates were recovered with the morphological and molecular characteristics of Quambalaria cyanescens. The present study is the first fully documented report of Q. cyanescens from Iran, providing insight into its geographic distribution and host range. Our study is also the first report of occurrence of Q. cyanescens as an endophyte in a member of the Lythraceae family.

ABDEL-SATER M.A., MOUBASHER A.H., SOLIMAN Z.S.M. (2016): Diversity of filamentous and yeast fungi in soil of citrus and grapevine plantations in the Assiut region, Egypt.   [Mycobiota, biodiversity, phenotypic and biochemical characterisation, ITS sequence, Coniochaeta canina, Aspergillus stella-maris]  Czech Mycology 68(2): 183-214   (published: 20th December, 2016)
  abstract   An extensive survey of soil mycobiota on citrus and grapevine plantations in Sahel-Saleem City, Assiut Governorate, Egypt was carried out using the dilution-plate method and 2 isolation media at 25 °C. Sixty-four genera and 195 species of filamentous fungi and 10 genera and 13 species of yeasts were recovered. A higher diversity (number of genera and species) and gross total counts were recovered from citrus than from grapevine soil. The peak of filamentous fungi recovered from both soils was found to be in February. Aspergillus (45 species) was the most dominant genus; A. ochraceus predominated in citrus plantations, while A. niger and A. aculeatus in grapevine. The Penicillium count came second after Aspergillus in citrus (23 species) and after Aspergillus and Fusarium in grapevine (11 species).Penicillium citrinum, P. ochrochloron and P. olsonii were more common in citrus plantations, but they were replaced by P. oxalicum in grapevine soil. Fusarium (19 species) was represented in 88.9–100% of both soils on both media; F. solani predominated in both soils, while F. incarnatum came next in citrus, and F. babinda and F. oxysporum in grapevine. Humicola (3 species) with the dominant H. fuscoatra was recorded in 61.1–83.3% of soil of both plantations, while Talaromyces (with T. purpureogenus followed by T. pinophilus being the most common) was recorded in 83.3–100% on DRBC and 38.9–50% on DYM from the soil of plantations of both crops. Volutella (5 species) was common in citrus but missing from grapevine soil. The present study reveals that hyaline fungi predominated over dark-coloured ones. Yeasts comprised only minor proportions in both soils (maximum 0.5%). They showed their peak in the soil of citrus plantations in April and in grapevine in February. All species were recovered in one or two samples only. Diutina catenulata, Debaryomyces hansenii, Galactomyces (3 species), Hanseniaspora occidentalis, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Meyerozyma caribbica, and Schwanniomyces pseudopolymorphus were encountered in citrus only, while Cryptococcus laurentii, Pichia kudriavzevii, Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Rhodotorula sp. in grapevine only. Physiological and growth characteristics were obtained for most of the recovered yeasts.

PARVEEN S., WANI A.H., BHAT M.Y., KOKA J.A. (2016): Biological control of postharvest fungal rots of rosaceous fruits using microbial antagonists and plant extracts - a review.   [biological control, postharvest diseases, microbial pesticides, rosaceous fruits]  Czech Mycology 68(1): 41-66   (published: 1st February, 2016)
  abstract   This article aims to give a comprehensive review on the use of microbial antagonists (fungi and bacteria), botanicals and compost extracts as biocontrol agents against different pathogenic fungi causing postharvest fungal rots in rosaceous fruits which shows that they can play an important role in the biomanagement of fungi causing rot diseases. Plant extracts reported in the literature against pathogenic fungi indicate that they can act as a good biological resource for producing safe biofungicides. However most of the work has been done under experimental conditions rather than field conditions. There is still a need for research to develop suitable formulations of biofungicides from these microbial biocontrol agents and plant extracts. The review reveals that extensive ecological research is also required in order to achieve optimum utilisation of biological resources to manage various postharvest diseases of fruits.

ABDEL-HAFEZ S.I.I., ABO-ELYOUSR K.A.M., ABDEL-RAHIM I.R. (2015): Leaf surface and endophytic fungi associated with onion leaves and their antagonistic activity against Alternaria porri.   [phyllosphere, phylloplane, endophytes, purple blotch disease, antagonism]  Czech Mycology 67(1): 1-22   (published: 10th April, 2015)
  abstract   Sixty-eight fungal species belonging to 29 genera were isolated as leaf surface and endophytic fungi from healthy and purple blotch diseased onion leaves. The fungal populations associated with diseased onion leaves (1.360 × 103 CFU/g leaf in the phyllosphere, 2.614 CFU/leaf segment in the phylloplane and 1.324 CFU/leaf segment in the surface-sterilised diseased leaves) were higher than those in healthy samples (0.804 × 103 CFU in the phyllosphere, 1.184 CFU in the phylloplane, and 0.35 CFU as endophytes). Endophytic fungi of healthy leaves were represented by 12 genera and 15 species, while fungi of surface-sterilised diseased leaves included 17 species from 13 genera. The mycobiota associated with surface-sterilised diseased leaves were different from the endophytic fungi of healthy samples, whereas the disease may stimulate colonisation of opportunistic fungi causing secondary infections such as Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, Alternaria alternata and Cladosporium spp. In contrast, healthy leaves were a source of antagonistic endophytic fungi such as Trichoderma harzianum and T. koningii. Testing the antagonistic effect of 91 fungal isolates against Alternaria porri showed that nine isolates of Trichoderma produced the highest suppressive potential (73.1%) depending on competition and mycoparasitism. Epicoccum nigrum and Penicillium oxalicum exhibited antibiosis against A. porri producing a 12 mm broad inhibition zone. In conclusion, the quantitative and qualitative compositions of fungi associated with onion leaves were distinctly influenced by A. porri infection. Mycobiota associated with asymptomatic onion leaves such as Epicoccum nigrum, Penicillium oxalicum and Trichoderma harzianum are a natural source of eco-friendly bioagents. They showed an effective antagonistic potential against A. porri, and may thus be applied as an alternative to fungicides.

SAWMYA K., VASUDEVAN T.G., MURALI T.S. (2013): Fungal endophytes from two orchid species - pointer towards organ specificity.   [fungal endophytes, environment, orchids, Bulbophyllum neilgherrense, Pholidota pallida]  Czech Mycology 65(1): 89-101   (published: 10th June, 2013)
  abstract   Fungal endophytes may influence plant communities by altering the host’s fitness either positively or negatively. Little is known, however, about their host/organ specificity, life style and role in plantfungus symbiosis under varying environmental conditions. We compared the leaf and root endophyte assemblages of two orchids (Bulbophyllum neilgherrense and Pholidota pallida) from natural forests and greenhouse conditions. Xylariaceae species were consistently associated with leaf and root tissues, while Guignardia and Pestalotiopsis were found predominantly in the leaf tissues of both orchids. Correspondence analysis of the endophyte assemblages showed that the endophytes exhibited distinct organ but little host specificity. More endophytes were shared by the two different orchids growing in the same location when compared to endophyte assemblages of a single orchid from different locations. Considering the influence of endophytes in shaping the host’s community, diverse habitats must be screened vigorously to address questions regarding the role of endophytes in hostendophyte interactions.

CHLEBICKÁ M., KONVALINKOVÁ T. (2010): Pirottaea lychnidis comb. nov. from the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, Czech Republic.   [Peziza sphaerioides var. lychnidis, Pyrenopeziza lychnidis, intraspecific variability, taxonomy, nomenclature]  Czech Mycology 62(1): 19-32   (published: 15th February, 2011)
  abstract   A find of Pirottaea from dead stems of Silene dioica collected in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park is described. The material possesses very well developed setae, is assigned to Nannfeldt’s evolutionary lineage 2, and within the lineage differs from Pirottaea pilosissima known from stems of Geranium sylvaticum by shorter and up to 4-septate setae. Peziza sphaerioides var. lychnidis was revised and found to be conspecific with our material, but invalid. The earliest valid description of the taxon was found and a new combination is proposed. Results of a revision of several specimens of Pirottaea spp. published from the area of the Czech Republic are given.

ABDULLAH S.K., MONFORT E., ASENSIO L., SALINAS J., LOPEZ LLORCA L.V., JANSSON H.B. (2010): Soil mycobiota of date palm plantations in Elche, SE Spain.   [soil saprotrophic fungi, phytopathogenic fungi, Phoenix dactylifera, isolation methods]  Czech Mycology 61(2): 149-162   (published: 10th August, 2010)
  abstract   The mycobiota of soil from date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) plantations in Elche, SE Spain was examined using 23 soil samples and five isolation methods. One hundred and nineteen species assigned to 67 genera were isolated. The most frequent species were in decreasing order: Aspergillus fumigatus, A. niger, Neosartorya spinosa, Thielaviopsis punctulata, Chaetomium bostrychodes, Gilmaniella macrospora, Aspergillus candidus, Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizopus microsporus, Sordaria fimicola, Aspergillus terreus, Chaetomium murorum, Fusarium solani, Mucor racemosus, Penicillium citrinum and Thielaviopsis paradoxa. The thermotolerant and thermophilic species of Malbranchea cinnamomea, Myriococcum thermophilum, Rhizomucor miehei, Scytalidium thermophilum, Talaromyces emersonii, Thermoascus aurantiacus and Thermomyces lanuginosus were detected in various frequencies of occurrence. Our findings are compared with those from a similar survey of soil from date palm plantations in Iraq. Our study indicates that there is no characteristic mycobiota for soil in date palm plantations except for the more frequent isolation of some species well known as pathogens on date palm.

ISMAIL M.A., TALIGOOLA H.K., NAKAMYA R. (2008): Mycobiota associated with baby food products imported into Uganda with special reference to aflatoxigenic aspergilli and aflatoxins.   [mycobiota, aflatoxigenic aspergilli, aflatoxins, imported baby foods]  Czech Mycology 60(1): 75-89   (published: 4th July, 2008)
  abstract   Five baby food products imported into Uganda were collected from different shops and investigated for contamination by fungi and aflatoxins. Forty-two species belonging to 21 genera in addition to some unidentified fungi were recovered on dichloran rose bengal chloramphenicol agar. Cornflakes followed by Cerelac were the most heavily contaminated products while Heinz mixed cereal was the least. Cladosporium sphaerospermum, Fusarium tricinctum and Penicillium oxalicum were the most predominant fungi. On the other hand, using Aspergillus flavus/parasiticus agar, 34 % of the samples were positive for aflatoxigenic aspergilli. Aflatoxigenic aspergilli constituted 78.8 % of all aspergilli and 4.9 % of all contaminating fungi. Samples from all products were contaminated with aflatoxigenic aspergilli, but samples of Cerelac were the most, while those of Porridge oats were the least. Aflatoxin analysis of food samples revealed that 9 out of 13 analysed samples were contaminated with aflatoxins in the range of 1–10 ppb (6 samples) and 11–20 ppb (3 samples). Only samples of Cerelac were aflatoxin–free, although aflatoxigenic aspergilli were detected in some samples. It was noted that samples of Cerelac had the least moisture content compared to the other products. Contaminated foods constitute a health hazard to human consumption. These foods, especially those for babies, must therefore be examined at regular intervals in order to assess their hygienic quality.

Colloquium „Fungi as Model Organisms in Research and Biotechnology - III“ Olomouc, Czech Republic, 2 September 2005.  Czech Mycology 57(3-4): 307-323   (published: 10th February, 2006)
  abstract   The colloquium was a continuation of the previous scientific meetings that took place in Olomouc in 1999 and 2002 (Czech Mycology 52: 139-178, 2000 and 55: 103-149, 2003). It was organised by the Commission for Experimental Mycology of the Czechoslovak Microbiological Society and the Czech Scientific Society for Mycology together with the Institute of Biology, Faculty of Medicine of Palacký University, Olomouc. The aim of the colloquium was to provide a platform for a broad discussion on experimental mycology in all branches of basic and applied research. Besides two plenary lectures, 8 short communications and 8 posters were presented. In total 32 researchers from the Czech and Slovak Republics took part in the colloquium and discussed various topics important for the further development of experimental mycology. Abstracts of the contributions are given here.

GIRIVASAN K.P., SURYANARAYANAN T.S. (2004): Intact leaves as substrate for fungi: distribution of endophytes and phylloplane fungi in rattan palms.   [phylloplane fungi, endophytes, Calamus, India]  Czech Mycology 56(1-2): 33-43   (published: 12th August, 2004)
  abstract   Leaves of twelve species of Calamus from southern India were screened simultaneously for the presence of phylloplane and endophytic fungi. Sampling of 2400 leaf segments yielded 824 endophyte isolates belonging to 34 species. Thirty species of phylloplane fungi were recorded. Several fungal species were found to be shared as endophytes by different hosts. However, the overlap between endophyte assemblage and phylloplane fungi of each host was low, suggesting that these two distinct groups of fungi occupy different niches, there by avoiding competition.

MARIA G.L., SRIDHAR K.R. (2003): Endophytic fungal assemblage of two halophytes from west coast mangrove habitats, India.   [mangroves, halophytes, endophytes, fungi, India]  Czech Mycology 55(3-4): 241-251   (published: 22nd December, 2003)
  abstract   Twenty-five endophytic fungi comprising three ascomycetes, 20 mitosporic fungi and two sterile fungi were recovered from two halophytes (Acanthus ilicifolius and Acrostichum aureum) of a west coast mangrove habitat in India. Overall colonisation of tissue segments by endophytes ranged between 74.5 % (Acanthus ilicifolius) and 77.5 % (Acrostichum aureum). Analysis using the Jaccard’s similarity coefficient revealed 16-25 % similarity in endophyte assemblage among different tissues, and 24.5 % between the two hosts. Out of four tissues screened, species richness and diversity were high in stems of Acanthus ilicifolius and roots of Acrostichum aureum. The most dominant endophyte was Colletotrichum sp. in prop roots of Acanthus ilicifolius, and Yeast sp. 1 in rhizomes of Acrostichum aureum. Among the dominant endophytes (colonisation frequency >5 %), Acremonium and Yeast sp. 1 were common to both hosts. Acanthus ilicifolius showed dominance of a single species, (Colletotrichum sp.), while in Acrostichum aureum multiple species dominance was seen (Acremonium sp., Pénicillium sp. and Yeast sp. 1). Only one typical marine mitosporic fungus (Cumulospora marina) was recovered from the roots of Acanthus ilicifolius.

KUTHAN J. (1992): Mycoflora of large-scale greenhouse plantation of salad cucumbers.  Česká Mykologie 46(1-2): 1-32   (published: 1st April, 1993)
  abstract   In the course of the years 1988–1991 the author used to visit large-scale greenhouses at Paskov near Ostrava (NE Moravia, Czechoslovakia) and surveyed not only the abundant growth of particularly higher fungi there, but in 1989 he tried to summarize the weight of biomass of the most frequent species. The results of the observation of biomass, frequency, abundance and phenology are presented in the tables. Altogether 95 macrofungi taxons, 1 species of Hyphomycetes and 1 species of Myxomycetes were recorded and they are given in the systematic summary, potentially with comments.

BRILLOVÁ D., SLADKÁ O. (1989): Transmission of virus-like particles from the infected into the healthy strains of Cercospora beticola Sacc.  Česká Mykologie 43(3): 155-165   (published: 21st August, 1989)
  abstract   The paper deals with the ultrastructure of the conidia of powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei Marchal) using the freeze-etching technique. Cross fractures through whole conidia exposed the cell wall and faces of the plasma membrane bearing invaginations. In addition, structural details of the conidium internal organization were recognized. The nuclear membrane showed numerous pores scattered over the nuclear surface. Numerous mitochondria, small vesicles and glycogen accumulated along the conidium periphery. The results obtained with Erysiphe graminis conidia prove the advantages of the freeze-etching method over the conventional fixation procedures for fungal conidia.

  abstract   In the present paper we summarize the results of electron microscope investigation of the hyphae of three singlespore isolates of Cercospora beticola and a sterile mutant. In ultrathin sections of hyphal cells we have found two types of viruslike particles of spherical shape, 30—35 and 50—55 nm in diameter. They were dispersed in the cytoplasm and occasionally in the vacuoles as well. Viruslike particles of both types occurred together in the hyphal cells of the strain Mss2, whereas the hyphal cells of strain PR13 contained viruslike particles only one dimension, i.e. there were cells containing 30—35 nm and others 50—55 nm viruslike particles. In the infected cells we observed changes of mitochondria, the occurrence of lamellar structures, changes of cell walls leading to the disruption and liberation of viruslike particles from the cells. The sporulation of infected strains was considerably lower than in healthy one.

HUBÁLEK Z. (1981): A systematic survey of dimorphic and polymorphic fungi.  Česká Mykologie 35(4): 209-226   (published: 1981)
  abstract   Various definitions of the term dimorphism in fungi are briefly discussed and a general concept is given with a suggested morphological classification of the dimorphism. Dimorphism (and polymorphism) is delimited as an environmentally controlled reversible phenotypic duality (or plurality in the case of polymorphism) in the morphogenesis of the vegetative fungal cells, which is not restricted to pathogenic species and to the mycelial-yeast transitions only. A systematic list and an alphabetical index of the fungi exhibiting the phenomena of cellular dimorphism or polymorphism are presented.

VINDUŠKA L. (1979): Fungi in Heterodera schachtii cysts.  Česká Mykologie 33(3): 170-175   (published: 1979)
  abstract   In 1976 and 1977 the occurrence of fungi in Heterodera schachtii Schmidt was determined. From 23.6% of cysts individual fungal species were isolated and determined. In 31.8% of cysts fungi did not occur, from 32.2% cysts bacterial colonies grew and in 12.4% of cysts mixtures of fungi and bacteria were found. From the parasitation point of view, the finding of Verticillium falcatum Petch, Cylindrocarpon destructans (Zinssmeister) Schölten, Humicola grisea Traaen, Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht, emend. Snyder et Hansen and Fusarium solani (Mart.) Appel et Wollenw. is important.

  abstract   The importance of mixed infections of cultivated plants by viruses and pathogenic fungi is analyzed both from theoretical and practical points of view. The course of root rots caused by pathogenic fungi in various virus-infected hosts is described as an example to demonstrate these relationships. The causes of the altered disease syndrome in the root system are discussed.

SARWAR M. (1974): A new anthracnose disease of Salvia sclarea L.  Česká Mykologie 28(3): 156-158   (published: 1974)
  abstract   A new anthracnose disease of Salvia sclarea L. was observed in Bangalore, India. Among seven fungi isolated, Colletotrichum dematium was identified as the causal agent. The article details the cultivation of a high-yielding French strain of the plant and describes disease symptoms and environmental conditions under which the disease developed.
