During 2 years, from March 1987 to April 1989, 600 samples of soil and plant were collected from different cities of northern provinces of Iran. Out of the six hundred samples 58 Actinomycetes, 9 Pseudallescheria boydii, 10 Sporothrix schenckii, and 4 Sporothrix schenckii-like fungi were isolated as the following: Streptomyces griseus from 31 samples (38.27%), Nocardia asteroides from 8 sa...

As decomposers or plant pathogens, fungi deploy invasive growth and powerful carbohydrate active enzymes to reduce multicellular plant tissues to humus and simple sugars. Fungi are perhaps also the most important mutualistic symbionts in modern ecosystems, transporting poorly soluble mineral nutrients to plants and thus enhancing the growth of vegetation. However, at their origin over a billion...

Water fungi and fungus-like organisms as a biological factor of ecological water systems have significant influence on the environment and its modification. They decompose necrosis substrates found in water bodies. Fungi also can act as facultative parasites and then frequently occur on their hosts. The main aim of the present study is to investigate which of the fungi and straminipiles can gro...
