In the present study, two species of rosaceous rust fungi are reported from Iran. Ochropsora ariae is newly reported for Iranian rust mycobiota. This is the first report of a member of the genus Ochropsora from Iran. Kuehneola uredinis is reported for the second time from Iran since its first report in 1958 under the name K. albida. Pyrus boissieriana</em...

To characterize the skin-associated fungal microbiota (mycobiota) in dogs, and to evaluate the influence of body site, individual dog or health status on the distribution of fungi, next-generation sequencing was performed targeting the internal transcribed spacer region. A total of 10 dogs with no history of skin disease were sampled at 10 distinct body sites consisting of haired and mucosal sk...

Fungi constitute an important part of the human microbiota and they play a significant role for health and disease development. Advancements made in the culture-independent analysis of microbial communities have broadened our understanding of the mycobiota, however, microbiota analysis tools have been mainly developed for bacteria (e.g., targeting the 16S rRNA gene) and they often fall short if...

black meristematic fungi are cosmopolitan and able to adapt to extreme fluctuations of ultraviolet radiation, temperature, and moisture and grow in exposed habitats such as stone surfaces. in a survey on fungi associated with fruit rots, leaf spots, canker, gummosis, dieback and trunk diseases of grapevine and walnut trees in kurdistan province (iran), some black meristematic fungal isolates re...

quercus persica and pistacia mutica are two known and prevalent forest trees of baneh and marivan from kurdistan province (w iran). thirty-five fungal isolates were obtained from 50 bark samples of q. persica collected in sept. and mar. 2010–11. the aim of this study was to identify fungi associated with oak trees of kurdistan province. based on morphological features and authentic keys (ellis ...

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...

During 2016–17, 277 samples of leaf compost, manure, virgin and rhizosphere soil of some plants from Fars and Khuzestan provinces (Iran) were transferred to Mycology Laboratory of the Department of Plant Protection, Shiraz University (Iran). Fungi were recovered by soil plate and soil dilution methods. After purification, the isolates of Mucorales were identified based on growth, morphological ...

The study of mycobiota remains relatively unexplored due to the lack of sufficient available reference strains and databases compared to those of bacterial microbiome studies. Deep sequencing of Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions is the de facto standard for fungal diversity analysis. However, results are often biased because of the wide variety of sequence lengths in the ITS regions and...

a large collection of botryosphaeriaceae isolates obtained from fruit and forest trees with fruit rot, canker and dieback disease symptoms in northern provinces of the country were examined in this study. based on morphology and sequence data (its and ef1-α), two species, diplodia mutila and spencermartinsia viticola are illustrated and described as new records for iran mycobiota. furthermore, ...

background and purpose: trichosporon is a genus of anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast which is widely distributed in nature and is found in tropical and temperate areas. the aim of this work was to study the isolation, identification and molecular analysis of trichosporon species in soil. materials and methods: in order to isolate and identify trichosporon species in soil, 30 samples were collect...
