“…Analysis of the taxonomic diversity revealed dominance of phylum, Ascomycota in all the samples. This is comparable with the studies of other freshwater rivers like River Nile (Egypt), River Tietê (Brazil), River Kali (India) (Sudheep and Sridhar 2011; Abdel-Aziz 2016; Ortiz-Vera et al 2018). Ascomycota is the largest, most diverse and ubiquitously distributed phylum of Fungi.…”

38River confluences are a hub of biodiversity with limited information with respect to the structure and the 39 functions of the microbial communities. The 'River Ganges' is the national river of India, having manifold 40 significance such as social, mythological, historic, geographic and agro-economic. It forms a sacred confluence 41 (known as Triveni Sangam) with River Yamuna at Prayagraj, India. Recent reports indicated the presence of fecal 42 coliform bacteria, an indicator recognized for water contamination in Ganges River leading to pollution. However, 43Fungi are also gaining attention as potential biological indicators of the trophic status of some rivers globally, but 44 remain under-explored in terms of diversity, ecology and functional aspects. We performed whole long read, 45 metagenome sequencing (MinION) of the sediment samples collected in December 2017 from confluence zone of 46 Ganges and Yamuna Rivers spanning the pre-confluence, confluence and post-confluence zones. Mycobiome reads 47 revealed a plethora of fungal communities, extending from saprophytes, endoparasites and edible fungi, to human 48 pathogens, plant pathogens and toxin producers. The fungal genera recognized as bio-indicators of river pollution 49 (Aspergillus, Penicillium) and eutrophication (Kluveromyces, Lodderomyces, and Nakaseomyces), were present in 50 all samples. Functional gene analyses of myco-communities uncovered hits for neurodegenerative diseases and 51 xenobiotic degradation potential, supporting bio-indicators of pollution. This study forms a foundational basis for 52 understanding the impact of various anthropogenic activities on the mycobiome, as a bio-indicator of pollution 53 across the confluence of Ganges and Yamuna Rivers and post-confluence of River Ganges, and could be useful in 54 mitigating strategies for cleaning strategies of the Ganges River.55

“…Ingold (1942: 402) and Flagellospora curvula are reported from all Brazilian biomes with relatively high frequency (Table 2). These are cosmopolitan species that were previously often reported from other countries in both temperate and tropical climates (Shearer 1992, Sridhar et al 2010, Sudheep & Sridhar 2011.…”

Ingoldian fungi of Brazil: some new records and a review including a checklist and a key

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ingoldian fungi have a worldwide distribution, but the most species have been described from temperate regions. In Brazil, the studies of Ingoldian fungi started in the 1980’s in the Atlantic Forest, the state of São Paulo. Later studies extended to other biomes such as the Cerrado, Caatinga and Amazon. The aim of this study is to improve our understanding of the occurrence and distribution of Ingoldian fungi in Brazil. Here, we include and discuss several new records for Brazil associated with submerged leaves of Calophyllum brasiliense and provide a checklist, a key and illustrations for all species of the Ingoldian fungi recorded from Brazil, as well as distribution maps. Flagellospora stricta is a new record to the Americas; Dendrosporomyces prolifer and Geniculospora inflata to the Neotropics; Pyramidospora casuarinae and Triscelophorus monosporus are new records to the Caatinga. With the new additions of species associated with submerged leaves of C. brasiliense, a total of 85 taxa of Ingoldian fungi are now recorded in Brazil. Nineteen taxa are reported from the Amazon, 53 from the Atlantic Forest, 39 from the Caatinga and 21 from the Cerrado.

The pre sent pape r deals with 18 species of freshwater Ascomyce tes encountered on submerged decaying woody debris and leaves of Typha angustata Chaub. and Bory from lotic and lentic habitats in Ahmednagar district (Maharashtra state). These include species of the genera: Aniptodera (2 sp.), Annulatascus (2 sp.), Ascosaccu lus (1 sp.), Cercophora (1 sp.), Natantispora (1 sp.), Neomass ariosphaeria (1 sp.), Panorbis (1 sp.), Pao ayensis (1 sp.), Savoryella (6 sp.) and Zopfiella (2 sp.). The data provides information on the distribution of these fungi in India, apart from de scription and illustrations. This data will be useful in the compilation of freshwater biodiversity of India. The taxonomy, morphology and ecology of these fungi are discussed.
