in this paper the taxonomy of some previously reported taxa as cercospora apii s.lat. in iran, is discussed and some new records are listed. cercospora species on abelia grandiflora (c. deutziae), erythrina crista-galli (c. erythrinicola), euphorbia heterophylla (c. pulcherrimae) and zanthedeschia aethiopica (c. richardiicola) are new for mycobiota of iran. cercospora iridis which was previousl...

Phylogenetic relationships among heterobasidiomycetous yeasts, including anamorphic and teleomorphic taxa, have been compared from the sequence similarity of small (18S) and large (25S) subunit ribosomal RNA. Species examined were Cystofilobasidium capitatum, Filobasidiella neoformans, Fi/obasidium floriforme, Leucosporidium scottii, Malassezia furfur, M. pachydermatis, Phaffia rhodozyma, Rhodo...

Changing climate is expected to alter precipitation patterns in the Arctic, with consequences for subsurface temperature and moisture conditions, community structure, and nutrient mobilization through microbial belowground processes. Here, we address the effect of increased snow depth on the variation in species richness and community structure of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and saprotrophic fungi. S...

Elucidating symbiotic relationships between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plants contributes to a better understanding of their reciprocally dependent coexistence and community assembly. However, the main drivers of plant and AMF community assembly remain unclear. In this study, we examined AMF communities from 166 root samples of 17 woody plant species from 10 quadrats in a Chinese su...

Fifty-two strains of the yeast species Malassezia pachydermatis were analysed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. M. pachydermatis appeared to be genetically heterogeneous. A total of 27 electrophoretic types were identified that could be divided into five distinct groups with different host specificities. The diversity revealed by this electrophoretic method matched remarkably well the repor...
