Myxomycetes in Turkey – a checklist

“…Light microscopy is used to determine the presence of capillitium, pseudo-capillitium and columella, and if present, their shape and dimensions, ornamentation of the threads in the capillitium, branching form, the presence of free or stem-connected nature of the columella, the features of the pseudo-capillitium, shape, color, and size of the spores, and spore ornamentations in detail ( Figure 1). The material, whose properties were determined, were identified based on the studies by Thind, 8 Farr, 9 Stephenson & Stempen, 4 Neubert et al, 10 Ergul & Akgul, 11 and Sesli et al 12 The identified 5g samples were extracted in Soxhlet extractor for about 6 hours at 50 0 C with ethanol (EtOH), methanol (MeOH) and dichloromethane (DCM) (Gerhardt EV 14). The obtained extracts were concentrated with a rotary evaporator (Heidolph Laborota 4000 Rotary Evaporator) ( Figure 1).…”

In the present study, total antioxidant capacity, total oxidant capacity, oxidative stress index and antimicrobial activity in the cosmopolitan myxomycete species Physarum album (Bull.) Chevall. In this context, the sample ethanol, methanol and dichloromethane extracts were obtained with Soxhlet device. TAS, TOS and OSI were determined with Rel Assay kits. Antimicrobial activities were determined with modified agar dilution method on Staphylococcus aureus, S. aureus MRSA, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Candida albicans, C. krusei, and C. glabrata. The study findings demonstrated that P. album exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity against A. baumannii. It was also determined that P. album had antioxidant capacity. In conclusion, it was determined that P. album could be consumed as a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial source.

Objective: Urbanization has been reported to affect the biodiversity of myxomycetes. There is no data in the Bursa city on the diversity of myxomycete in the urban area. Therefore, we aim to determine the presence of corticolous myxomycetes on monumental trees that are located in the most populated province of Bursa city (Osmangazi and Yıldırım). Materials and Methods: In August and October 2018, 100 barks of monumental trees located in the Osmangazi and Yıldırım) county of Bursa was collected. Moist chamber culture technique was used for the isolation and identification of the species. Results: 16 species within 9 genera were identified. The species identified are listed, and six new species Didymium bahiense (Gottsberger), Didymium difforme (Pers.) S. F. Gray), Macbrideola martinii (Alexop. & Beneke), Macbrideola oblonga (Pando, Lado), Physarum gyrosum (Rost.), Physarum notabile (Macbr.) were recorded for Bursa city. Conclusion: This is the first report of corticolous myxomycetes on monumental trees in Bursa city center. It also added data and 6 new records of myxomycetes on the myxomycete biodiversity of Bursa.
