GRISHKAN I., TEMINA M. (2023): Diversity of microfungal communities inside saxicolous lichens from Nahal Oren, Mount Carmel, Israel.   [endolichenic fungi, lichen thallus, melanised fungi, microclimatic contrast, rock surface.]  Czech Mycology 75(1): 15-34   (published: 28th March, 2023)   Electronic supplement
  abstract   In this study, we examined the endolichenic fungal communities of saxicolous lichens covering the rocks in the Nahal Oren valley, northern Israel. A total of 60 fungal species belonging to 35 genera were isolated from six lichen species collected in the summer and winter on the south-facing slope (SFS) and north-facing slope (NFS) of the valley. We verified that rocks serve as a possible source for the formation of endolichenic communities because communities colonising lichen thalli and the rock surface shared 39% of species and clustered together on the SFS. On the NFS, with a comparatively favourable microclimate, lichen thalli abundantly harboured typical soil fungi such as Clonostachys rosea and Fusarium spp. in winter and summer, respectively. At the same time, more severe environmental conditions on the SFS facilitated the prevalence of melanised fungi with thick-walled and multicellular spores irrespective of season. The lowest species richness and isolate densities of endolichenic communities were registered in the thalli of Collema cristatum. This decrease, especially expressed in the summer, was probably associated with the antifungal effect of substances produced by its cyanobiont, as well as with the heavy dehydration of thalli during the dry season.

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.

MOUBASHER A.H., ABDEL-SATER M.A., SOLIMAN Z.S.M. (2018): Diversity of yeasts and filamentous fungi in mud from hypersaline and freshwater bodies in Egypt.   [fungal diversity, alkalinity, Wadi El-Natrun, lakes, Ibrahimia Canal, River Nile, molecular characterisation, ITS]  Czech Mycology 70(1): 1-32   (published: 26th January, 2018)
  abstract   The diversity of yeasts and filamentous fungi in muds from hypersaline alkaline lakes of Wadi ElNatrun and fresh water of the Nile River and Ibrahimia Canal was evaluated. The mean pH of saline water mud was 9.21, but fresh water mud registered 8.07. A total of 193 species (two varieties were distinguished in two of them) belonging to 67 genera were recovered from both muds investigated on DRBC (55 genera, 164 species), DG18 (36 genera, 117 species) and MY50G (23 genera, 76 species) media. From these, 17 species assigned to 12 genera were yeasts and 176 species and 2 varieties assigned to 55 genera were filamentous fungi. The highest numbers of fungal propagules were recovered on DRBC from freshwater mud, while the lowest on MY50G from saline water mud. Yeasts constituted a small proportion of all propagules from the two mud types on all three media, whereas filamentous fungi were the major component. However, freshwater mud samples yielded higher numbers of yeast genera and species using all three media. Candida was common in freshwater mud and rare in saline water mud, while Meyerozyma and Rhodotorula were infrequent in both muds. The remaining yeast species were recovered from freshwater mud only. Aspergillus (46 species) was the most common genus of filamentous fungi encountered in all samples, ranging in frequency from 39.82% to 96.62%; A. terreus, A. flavipes and A. niger dominated in both types of mud. Cladosporium (9 species), Fusarium (8 species), Penicillium (18 species) and Scopulariopsis (7 species) were encountered in both types of mud. Notably, 47 filamentous species were isolated only on the media with lower water activity (DG18, MY50G).

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.

Colloquium "Fungi as Model Organisms in Research and Biotechnology - II", Olomouc, Czech Republic, September 5th–6th, 2002.  Czech Mycology 55(1-2): 103-149   (published: 23rd July, 2003)
  abstract   The colloquium was a continuation of a previous scientific meeting that took place in Olomouc in 1999 (Czech Mycology 52: 139-178, 2000). It was organised by the joint 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 purpose of the colloquium was to provide a platform for a broad discussion on the use of fungi as model organisms in both basic and applied research. The programme of the colloquium was divided into four parts dealing with the following topics: biochemistry, biotechnology and genetics of fungi; phytopathogenic fungi; fungi pathogenic to humans and animals; and mycology of food and mycotoxins. Each topic was opened with a plenary lecture (30 min.), followed by short communications (10 min.) and accompanied by poster presentations. Besides five plenary lectures, 20 short communications and 24 posters were presented. In total 42 researchers took part in the colloquium and discussed various topics important for the further direction of experimental mycology. Abstracts of the contributions are given here.

NOVÁKOVÁ A., PIŽL V. (2003): Mycoflora in the intestine of Eisenia andrei (Oligochaeta, Lumbricidae) and in vermiculture substrates.   [cattle manure, saprotrophic and cellulolytic microfungi, earthworms]  Czech Mycology 55(1-2): 83-102   (published: 23rd July, 2003)
  abstract   Mycoflora of three commercial vermiculture systems based on cattle manure derived sub­ strates and Eisenia andrei earthworms was studied using several isolation methods. A total of 172 taxa of saprotrophic micromycetes were isolated (19 taxa of Zygomycetes, 9 taxa of Ascomycetes and 144 taxa of mitosporic fungi). Aspergillus fumigatus was the most frequent microfungal species in the intestine of Eisenia andrei. In vermicuture substrates, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus fumigatus were among species isolated very frequently by the soil dilution method, while Rhizopus stolonifer was estimated as frequent species using the soil washing isolation technique.

GHERBAWY Y.A.M.H., PRILLINGER H. (2000): Root mycoflora of pepper (Capsicum annuum) antagonistic to Verticillium dahliae.   [Frequency of root fungi, Verticillium dahliae, Chaetomium globosum, Gliocladium roseum, Myrothecium verrucaria, Trichoderma harzianum, pepper seed germination]  Czech Mycology 52(3): 219-226   (published: 7th December, 2000)
  abstract   Thirty-two species belonging to 19 genera of fungi were collected from 30 soil samples from the rhizosphere of pepper plants. The fungal colonies were characterised using classical morphological methods following identification keys. The most frequently isolated fungi were Chaetomiumglobosum, Fusarium oxysporum, Gliocladium roseum, Mucor racemosus, Myrothecium verrucaria, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, P. expansum and Trichoderma harzianum. The crude culture filtrate of Verticillium dahliae at 100% concentration caused sharp decrease in pepper seed germination. Chaetomium globosum, Gliocladium roseum, Myrothecium verrucaria, and Trichoderma harzianum produced a metabolite that retarded radial growth of Verticillium dahliae.

FASSATIOVÁ O. (1995): Micromycetes in archives and book depositories in the Czech Republic.   [Micromycetes, archives, allergies, Czech Republic]  Czech Mycology 48(1): 77-86   (published: 16th May, 1995)
  abstract   Species representation of micromycetes and their frequency were studied in the period 1981-1988 in four archives in Prague and near Prague and in one depository in West Bohemia. Representants of genera Penicillium, Cladosporium, Alternaria, Aspergillus, Mucor and Rhizopus isolated by sediment plate method and from the surfaces of the archive depots were the most frequent in all observed spaces. The higher number of the most frequent species was always found in older and for the archive purposes less convenient buildings, while inside the new building the number of the most frequent species was very low. In suitable conditions only a limited number of species for which the given specific conditions are convenient, act as destructive. They are mostly Penicillium which form coherent growing covers on the backs of the books and cartons. Spores of these fungi released by their growth contaminate the atmosphere of these spaces and can cause allergies in sensitive persons.

MARVANOVÁ L., KALOUSKOVÁ V., HANULÁKOVÁ D., SCHÁNĚL L. (1993): Misroscopic fungi in the Zbrašov agaronite caves.  Česká Mykologie 46(3-4): 243-250   (published: 25th August, 1993)
  abstract   The aragonite coating in some pans of the caves in Zbrašov (northern Moravia, ČSFR) is strewn with fragments of textile fibres, originating probably from the clothes of cave visitors. These filaments as well as the aragonite in their close vicinity are colonised by microscopic fungi. About fifty taxa have been identified. Spores of fungi in the aeroplankton in the caves mostly belong to other species than do occur on the aragonite. The species composition of the fungal community on aragonite is probably influenced by the temperature inside the caves.

ŠIMONOVIČOVÁ A. (1992): Microfungal community structure in forest soils of North Slovakia. II. Similarity of mykocenosis (Krížna, Koprová and Furkotská Vallies).  Česká Mykologie 46(1-2): 106-113   (published: 1st April, 1993)
  abstract   On five localities in vallies Krížna, Koprová and Furkotská (High Tatra Mts.) we investigated the species structure of soil microscopic fungi and the similarity of mycocenosis. The arenic podzol and podzolic ranker soils were studied. The soils had low to very low acid reaction and very low content of organic matter. In the global number of isolated soil microscopic fungi species (48), the cosmopolitan genus Penicillium of the family Moniliaceae was dominantly represented. The species of the family Mucoraceae were suppressed as the result of the soil quality decreasing, which reflects the degradation of the quality of the whole environment in High Tatra Mts. The highest index of similarity – S = 0.6 – was proved between the localities in the neighboring vallies.

ŠIMONOVIČOVÁ A. (1992): Microfungal community structure in forest soil of North Slovakia. I. Similarity of mykocenosis (The Valley Tichá).  Česká Mykologie 46(1-2): 99-105   (published: 1st April, 1993)
  abstract   Microfungal community structure in four forest localities in the Valley Tichá in the High Tatra Mountains was studied. Podzolic and ranker soils are poor in organic matter, physically and chemically unfavourable. The pH values are lower – by 1.0 to 1.5 – than values in 1962, which means that the quality of the soils has degraded. These differences correspond with the quality of mycocenosis, which has also worsened. 41 species of soil micromycetes were isolated. The occurrence of the representatives of the genus Penicillium (fam. Moniliaceae) was the highest. The occurrence of the representatives of the family Mucoraceae was suppressed. The similarity of the neighbouring mycocenoses was higher than that of those more distant from each other.

  abstract   68 species of microscopic fungi were isolated from the air in the building of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences in České Budějovice. 16 species were opportunistic, 12 allergenic, and 13 mycotoxin producers. 8 species were reported as air-borne fungi in literature.

ŘEPOVÁ A. (1983): Soil micromycetes of forest reserve „Voděradské bučiny“ in Central Bohemia.  Česká Mykologie 37(1): 19-34   (published: 1983)
  abstract   In three forest sites of the Nature reserve “Voděradské bučiny” soil microfungi were studied in the period from September 1978 to July 1979. A total of 66 species was identified, 9 of which belonged to Mucoraceae and 57 to Moniliales. The most common species were Penicillium albidum Sopp emend. Fass. (all sites) and Trichoderma viride Pers. ex S. F. Gray (beech forest, beech forest with Dicranum), Absidia cylindrospora Hagem (beech forest), P. spinulosum Thom (beech forest with Dicranum, spruce forest), P. chrysogenum Samson, Hadlok et Stolk (beech forest, spruce forest). The greatest number of species was found in the spruce forest. The highest biomass values of mycelium and of spores were ascertained in stony soil of the beech forest with Dicranum scoparium.

  abstract   A new record of dry rot fungus Serpula lacrimans (Wulf. ex Fr.) Schroet. on the trunk bases of two living trees of Norway Spruce Picea abies (L.) Karst. in the Botanical Garden in Průhonice near Prague is described. Differences between Serpula lacrimans and Serpula himantioides (Fr. ex Fr.) Karst. and the phytopathological significance of the new record are discussed.

JANEČKOVÁ V., FASSATIOVÁ O., DANIEL M., KŘIVANEC K. (1977): Findings of soil microscopic fungi in the Himalaya Mountains (Nepal).  Česká Mykologie 31(4): 206-213   (published: 1977)
  abstract   Within the framework of the 1973 Czechoslovak expedition in the Makalu Mountain region in the Himalayas (East Nepal) a total of 43 soil samples were collected for mycologic examination. Fourteen genera with 37 species of soil fungi were isolated from the samples. Though the spectrum of the isolated microscopic fungi was not wide, it contained 2 genera (Acremonium and Tolypocladium) and 15 species described for the first time amongst the Himalayan mycoflora. Some of the species were collected in the area for the second time. Among the keratinophilic microscopic fungi, Chrysosporium lucknowense was isolated. The investigation and the collection of soil samples took place at the altitudes of 1000–4900 m in the sites where the presence of terrestrial mammals was established, or direct from lair openings. The aim was to detect potentially pathogenic or keratinophilic microscopic fungi. Various species of microscopic fungi were isolated for the first time from the extreme climatic conditions of the high mountains characterized by an increased occurrence of UV radiation, great temperature fluctuations, strong air flow, a decrease in the air pressure and oxygen content and extreme abiotic and biotic factors influencing the specific existence of the organisms.
