New Record of Ganoderma colossum White Rot on Ficus bengalensis

Ganoderma colossum is a rare species of Ganodermataceae family with many biological and biochemical properties. It is associated with rot, wilt, dieback, and wood decay of many host plants such as Ficus carcica, Celtis laevigata, Pinus hondurensis, Callitris robusta, Eucalyptus citrodora, E. paniculata, E. puncata, and Phoenix canariensis. In Oman, this pathogen was isolated as new records from...

Ogataea ganodermae sp. nov., a methanol-assimilating yeast species isolated from basidiocarps of Ganoderma sp.

Three methanol-utilizing yeast strains were isolated from basidiocarps of Ganoderma sp. collected from a tree trunk in Mangshan Mountain, Hunan Province, southern China. These strains formed hat-shaped ascospores in unconjugated and deliquescent asci. Sequence analysis of the large-subunit rRNA gene D1/D2 domain and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, electrophoretic karyotype comparison ...

The Study of the genetic diversity of two laccate species of Ganoderma lucidum and Ganoderma resinaceum using RAPD marker

The genus Ganoderma belongs to Polyporales, well-known for its medicinal properties and as a plant pathogen. The aim of this study was to identify the genetic variation between populations of two Ganoderma lucidum Karst. complex isolates using RAPD. For this purpose, four populations of G. resinaceum Boud. and eight populations of G. lucidum collected and purified during 2011-2012, were studied...
