“…Absence of Sclerocystis from Bhitarkaniaka mangrove commonly found in Sunderban mangrove ecosystem and western coast of India indicated complex interaction of edaphic agroclimatic factor determining growth of AM fungi from typical to a micro environment. 18 Among 45 species reported in the study, 15 species are found in coastal dunes of the India. The incidence of E. infrequence, G. gignatea, G. ambisporum, G. candida and G. pallidum in only high salinity can be attributed to their salt tolerant trait.…”

A study was carried out to assess the species diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi in different salinity zones of Bhitarkanika mangroves of Orissa, India. Sixteen sites of Bhitarkanika mangrove areas were surveyed for the collection of roots and soil samples. Seedlings of mangrove species were tested for AM colonization through root clearing and staining technique. Soil samples were treated separately for the mineral analysis through wet oxidation techniques and spore multiplication by pot culture methods. Wet sieving and decantation technique was followed for the isolation of AM spores from soil. AM spores were identified on the basis of morphological characteristics by following the INVAM manual. The physio-chemical analysis of soil indicated its deficiency in phosphorus which decreases (9.47Kg/ha) with increase in salinity. The genus Glomus is most dominant and has presence across all saline zones. A total of 45 AM species belonging to five genera namely, Glomus, Acaulospora, Gigaspora, Scutellospora and Enterophospora were recorded from three salinity zones of Bhitarkanika mangrove ecosystem. The soils of lower salinity contained maximum number of AM species (21nos.) than the high salinity zones (9 nos.). The decreased number of AM species in high salinity may be due to low phosphorus content and lack of suitable host plant also. Among eighteen mangrove species from different salinity zones analyzed for mycorrhizal colonization in their root system, Sonneratia apetala, Heritiera fomes, Excoecaria agallocha, Derris heterophylla, Bruguiera gynmorrhiza, Avicennia officinalis, Aglaia cucullata, and Aegiceras corniculatum were found to be mycorrhizal. This is first report on diversity of AM species in different salinity zones of Bhitarkanika mangroves of Orissa, India.

“…These forests play a major role in the ecology of coastal tropical/subtropical waters, as they serve as hatchery and nursery habitats for marine organisms and protect coastlines from catastrophic events such as storms and tidal surges (Hyde and Jones 1988, Fisher and Spalding 1993, Hyde and Lee 1995, Hyde et al 1998). The greatest diversity of mangrove species occurs in the mangroves of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand (Alias and Jones 2009, Alias et al 2010). …”

Mangroves are relatively unexplored habitats and have been shown to harbour a number of novel species of fungi. In this study, samples of microfungi were collected from symptomatic branches, stem and leaves of the mangrove species Xylocarpusgranatum, X.moluccensis and Lumnitzeraracemosa and examined morphologically. The phylogeny recovered supports our morphological data to introduce three new species, Cytosporalumnitzericola, C.thailandica and C.xylocarpi. In addition, a combined multi-gene DNA sequence dataset (ITS, LSU, ACT and RPB2) was analysed to investigate phylogenetic relationships of isolates and help in a more reliable species identification.

“…Mangrove fungi have been intensively studied over the past 20 years with Schmit and Shearer (2003) and Alias et al (2010) listing 280 and 287 species, respectively. However, these studies have been centered on Asia (Sridhar et al 2012) with little published data from Africa and the Middle East.…”

This study extends our knowledge of the diversity of marine fungi from Saudi Arabia, which is virtually unknown. Thirty-seven fungi (28 ascomycetes, eight asexual fungi, and one basidiomycete) were recorded from 457 samples of driftwood and intertidal decayed wood of Avicennia marina collected from three sites along the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia. The three sites include two mangrove sites, namely: Yanbu and Farasan Island, while the third site is a sandy shore nearby Yanbu city. Thirty-one fungi were new records for Saudi Arabia. Swampomyces triseptatus is the only species common to the three sites. The recorded marine fungi were latitudinally distributed with fungi recorded from Yanbu (subtropical site) largely different from those at Farasan Island mangrove (tropical site) with only six common fungi recorded. Amarenographium solium was the most common fungus at Yanbu mangrove, while Lineolata rhizophorae dominated the fungal community at Farasan Island mangrove. Swampomyces armeniacus was commonly recorded at the two mangrove sites. Torpedospora radiata was the most common species recorded from driftwood samples collected at Yanbu beach. A new collection of Diatrypasimilis australiensis enabled us to make a detailed morphological study of the fungus. Mycelia with chlamydospores were isolated from the samples and subsequently sequenced, and they grouped in the Corollospora clade with various degrees of confidence, but did not sporulate on natural material or in culture.
