“…Submerged woody debris supports a higher species diversity of miscellaneous mitosporic ascomycetes although this may reflect a lack of study of herbaceous debris using techniques that would facilitate the discovery of species in this group. There is a higher ratio of miscellaneous mitosporic ascomycetes to meiosporic ascomycetes on submerged wood, which is indicated by the following studies from lentic (Shearer and Crane 1986;Hyde and Goh 1998a;Goh and Hyde 1999) and lotic habitats (Shearer 1972;Hyde and Goh 1997Hyde et al 1998;Sivichai et al 2000Sivichai et al , 2002Tsui et al 2000;Kane et al 2002). Goh and Tsui (2003) provide a taxonomic key to commonly occurring genera of freshwater aeroaquatic and miscellaneous mitosporic fungi.…”

“…In aquatic systems, several culturing assays allowed the isolation of ascomycetous or basidiomycetous yeasts. Freshwater Ascomycetes occur in both lentic (Hyde and Goh, 1998a; 1999) and lotic habitats (Hyde and Goh, 1998b,c; 1999) and more than 500 species have been reported so far (Shearer, 2001; Shearer et al ., 2007). Although ascomycetous fungi, together with bacteria, are efficient decomposers of organic matter, their functional importance in lakes remains unclear (Raja and Shearer, 2008).…”

Water samples were collected along transects from the shore to the centre of two French lakes: the deep, volcanic, oligomesotrophic and low allochthonic-impacted Lake Pavin, and the productive and higher allochthonic-impacted Lake Aydat. The biodiversity was analysed using two approaches: the classical approach consisting of cloning/sequencing of the 18S, ITS1, 5.8S, ITS2 and partial 28S region using primers designed for fungus sequences, and the pyrosequencing of 18S rRNA hypervariable V2, V3 and V5 regions using two primer sets (one universal for eukaryotes and one for fungi). The classical approach yielded 146 (Lake Pavin) and 143 (Lake Aydat) sequences, corresponding to 46 and 63 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) respectively. Fungi represented half of the OTUs identified in Lake Pavin and 30% in Lake Aydat, and were dominated by sequences from Chytridiomycota found throughout Lake Pavin but mostly in the central pelagic zone of Lake Aydat. The pyrosequencing approach yielded 42,064 (Pavin) and 61,371 (Aydat) reads, of which 12-15% and 9-19% reads were assigned to fungi in Lakes Pavin and Aydat respectively. Chytridiomycota members were also dominant among these reads, with OTUs displaying up to > 33-fold overrepresentation in the centre compared with the riparian areas of Lake Aydat. Besides fungi, both approaches revealed other major eukaryote groups, with the highest diversity in the central areas of lakes. One of the major findings of our study was that the two lakes displayed contrasting spatial distributions, homogenous for Lake Pavin and heterogeneous for Lake Aydat, which may be related to their peculiarities. This study represents the first unveiling of microbial eukaryote and fungus diversity assessed with two complementary molecular methods, and is considered a major milestone towards understanding the dynamics and ecology of fungi in freshwater lake ecosystems, which are directly link to the abundance and distribution of taxa.

“…Freshwater lignicolous fungi, are mostly ascomycetes, and have been collected and described from wood submerged in streams (Wong et al 1998, Cai et al 2003a, b, Jones & Choeyklin 2008, Hyde et al 1998a and lakes (Hyde et al 1998b, Luo et al 2004, and in surveys in Australia, China, Malaysia, Philippines and Thailand (Nawawi 1985, Kuthubutheen 1987, Hyde 1995, Sivichai et al 2000, Jones et al 2007, Kurniawati et al 2010, 2016. The results of some of these studies have been summarized by Hyde et al (2016).…”

Lentithecium cangshanense sp. nov. (Lentitheciaceae, Dothideomycetes), was found on submerged decaying wood in a freshwater stream in Yunnan Province, China. The species is characterized by its black, semi-immersed to superficial, globose ascomata, cylindrical or obclavate, short pedicellate, bitunicate asci and bi-seriate, fusiform, 1-septate, yellowish to brown ascospores. Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, SSU and RPB2 sequence data show that L. cangshanense belongs in the family Lentitheciaceae, order Pleosporales and is a distinct species in the genus. The new species is introduced with an illustrated account and compared with morphologically and phylogenetically similar species.
