Development of merosporangia in Linderina pennispora (Kickxellales, Kickxellaceae)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The vegetative and sporulating structures of Linderina pennispora are described using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The vegetative hyphae and sporangiophores were regularly septate, possessed a two-layered wall, and coated with rod-shaped, 0.2-0.7 μm long, 0.15-0.25 μm wide ornamentations. The sporangiophore was erect, cylindrical, and narrower (4-8 μm) than the vegetative mycelium (8-12 μm). The mature sporocladium was ovoid to dome-shaped, sessile, non-septate, 18-24 μm diam, possessed a two-layered wall, and coated with rod-shaped ornamentations. Mature pseudophialides were ellipsoid, 2.0-2.5 μm wide, 4-7 μm long, possessed a two-layered wall, and formed in a series of concentric groups radiating from the "apex" of the sporocladium. The pseudophialides had a round, ca. 1.5 μm diam, base with a narrower, 0.7-0.8 μm diam lobed, cylindrical neck structure in the distal region which extended to the pseudophialide neck. The merosporangia were obovate, 3-4 μm wide near the base, and narrowed distally to 2.0-2.5 μm wide, 18-23 μm long, possessed a three-layered wall, with regular surface annulation with interconnecting ridges, but lacked rod-shaped ornamentations. The merosporangia contained a single, obovate, 2.3-2.5 μm diam merosporangiospore, with a ca. 1 μm diam papilla-like base, that possessed a four-layered wall. Detached merosporangia had a single, acicular, unbranched, 3-5 μm long, ca. 0.1 μm diam "appendage" that was attached to the merosporangiospore inner cell wall layer and passed through the septum plug to the pseudophialide.

Phylogeny of the Zygomycota based on nuclear ribosomal sequence data.
The Zygomycota is an ecologically heterogenous assemblage of nonzoosporic fungi comprising two classes, Zygomycetes and Trichomycetes. Phylogenetic analyses have suggested that the phylum is polyphyletic; two of four orders of Trichomycetes are related to the Mesomycetozoa (protists) that diverged near the fungal/animal split. Current circumscription of the Zygomycota includes only orders with ...
متن کاملEvolutionary implications of a rRNA-based phylogeny of Harpellales.
The Harpellales (Trichomycetes) are endosymbiotic microfungi, mostly unculturable and predominantly associated with larval aquatic insects worldwide. Molecular phylogenies including 'gut fungi' have included at most only four axenic isolates of the 38 genera of Harpellales. Cladistic analyses were used to infer the phylogeny of the Harpellales using partial 18S or 28S nu-rRNA sequences generate...
متن کاملFirst report of Basidiolum fimbriatum since 1861, with comments on its development, occurrence, distribution and relationship with other fungi.
An obscure parasitic fungus, Basidiolum fimbriatum, was found on Amoebidium parasiticum (Amoebidiales) associated with Caenis sp. (mayfly) nymphs, during a survey of gut fungi (Trichomycetes) from a small stream in northeastern Kansas, USA. The hindguts of the nymphs harboured a species of Legeriomycetaceae and Paramoebidium sp. This is the first report of the ectocommensal protozoan, A. parasi...
