“…However, species composition among DOF, TAB and SAN areas were quite similar, which suggests homogeneous communities among these areas. Due to the peculiar characteristics of MAN soil, such as high salinity, poor aeration and high temperatures, this ecosystem is a receptive habitat for thermophilic/thermo-tolerant and halophilic/halotolerant fungi (Doi et al 2018;Jaitly & Rai 1982). Only R. stolonifer and S. racemosum were isolated from MAN soils in this study and both are hereby reported for the first time in mangrove sediments in Brazil.…”

As primary decomposers of organic matter, mucoralean fungi have an important ecological role in edaphic systems in the Atlantic Forest. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding how communities of Mucorales are structured in soils of Atlantic Forest areas, and whether these communities are influenced by edaphic attributes in this domain. Thus, the current study aimed to understand the influence of edaphic attributes linked to species richness, abundance and composition of Mucorales in dense ombrophilous forest, 'tabuleiro' forest, sandbank and mangrove ecosystems located in Pernambuco, Brazil. Altogether, twenty-three taxa, including seven new records, were reported from soil samples from the ecosystems. Species composition was similar among the ecosystems, except for mangrove, while species richness and diversity of Mucorales were highest in dense ombrophilous forest and 'tabuleiro'. Together the soil variables were responsible for 35.5 % of the variation in species composition, with pH being responsible for 53.32 % and 47.24 % of the variation in richness and abundance of these communities, respectively. These data indicate that pH is the most important attribute in delimiting the structure of mucoralean communities in the study areas, with influence on the composition, richness, and abundance of these fungi.

“…Species of Acrophialophora Edward belong to the common thermophilic soil fungi (EDWARD 1959, SAMSON and MAHMOOD 1970, MORINAGA et al 1977, JAITLY and RAI 1982, JOSHI and CHAUHAN 1982. Up to date, apparently no comprehensive investigations were carried out on Acrophialophora species and only little is known about their antagonistic activity.…”

In studies conducted to gain information on the antagonistic potential of Acrophialophora levis, an isolate obtained from the rhizosphere of olive trees in Aegean Region (Turkey) was assayed in vitro for its antibiotic activity against 16 important soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi belonging to Mastigomycotina, Ascomycotina, Basidiomycotina and Deuterornycotina, and six bacteria by using the streak method. The results of this study clearly demonstrated that A. levis exhibited an antagonistic activity against all of the test fungi and three of the test bacteria through antibiosis.As evidenced by the respective zones of inhibition, Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum proved to be extremely susceptible; Pythium debaryanum, Rhizoctonia solani and Phytophthora capsici appeared to be the most resistant among the fungi tested.Among the test bacteria, Corynebacterium michiganense pv. michiganense, Bacillus subtilis and Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria showed some sensitivity to the antibiotic effect of this antagonist.

Fifty-one species and one variety appertaining to twenty one genera of mesophilic fungi were recovered from the monthly samples of marginal water (44 species, 1 variety and 18 genera) and submerged mud (78 species, 1 variety and 30 genera) of Aswan High Dam Lake during the period from July 1985 to December 1986. The most common species were Aspergillus fumigatus, A. flavus, A. terreus, A. niger and Penicillium funiculosum. The highest fungal populations were almost detected either in October, in December 1985 or in February 1986. Of the 12 thermophilic and thermotolerant fungal species, A. fumigatus and A. nidulans were the most common. Paecilomyces variotii, Rhizomucor pusillus, Thermomyces lanuginosus, Thermoascus thermophilus and Sporotrichum thermophilum were fairly common in one locality or more. The physico-chemical characteristics of water and mud samples were also followed.
