In a survey on the biodiversity of Penicillium species in soils of the National Park of Urmia Lake (NW Iran), eight Penicillium isolates were isolated as members of the section Citrina. Based on a combination of cultural and morphological criteria, the isolates were identified as Penicillium anatolicum, P. sanguifluum,and P. sizovae. The identity of each species was further confirmed using sequ...

Abstract The new species Thyronectria ulmi is described from Ulmus laevis and U. minor collected in Austria, the Czech Republic Slovakia. It morphologically phylogenetically close to North American T. chrysogramma , which also occurs on shares olive green brown muriform ascospores, but differs latter by geographic distribution, narrower asci, smaller ascospores with fewer septa DNA sequence dat...

During a study on fungal diversity in petroleum contaminated soils in Khuzestan province, two species of hyphomycetes were isolated, which represent new records for the mycobiota of Iran. Based on the combination of morphological data and ITS-rDNA sequence, the isolates were identified as Alternaria obovoidea and Emericellopsis pallida. Morphological descriptions and illustrations are provided ...
