Vertical distribution of marine fungi onRhizophora apiculata at Morib mangrove, Selangor, Malaysia

Studies on the vertical distribution of marine fungi in aRhizophora apiculata mangrove stand in Morib, Selangor were carried out in June 1993 and June to November 1997. Prop roots, subterranean roots and overhanging branches ofR. apiculata were collected from three intertidal levels namely upper (high water mark), middle and lower. Fifty-three species were recorded including 39 ascomycetes, 13 deuteromycetes and one basidiomycete. The most common fungi wereHalocyphina villosa (frequency occurrence 21%),Kallichroma tethys (20%),Lulworthia grandispora (18%),Leptosphaeria australiensis (16%),Julella avicenniae (15%) andMassarina ramunculicola (13%). The fungi were found to be vertically zoned, some were limited to the upper level such asPyrenographa xylographoides, Julella avicenniae andAigialus grandis or lower level such asTrichocladium achrasporum andT. alopallonellum, while only five species showed a broader distribution, being present at all levels:Leptosphaeria australiensis, Halocyphina villosa, Cryptovalsa sp.,Lulworthia grandispora andLulworthia sp. The greatest diversity of marine fungi were collected from the middle level with a Shannon Diversity Index of 5.9 while the Jaccard Similarity Index of 2.25 indicated that the upper and middle levels were the most similar in terms of species composition. Fungi with certain characteristics were also limited to particular levels, for example, carbonaceous and superficial ascomata were confined above mean tide while membranous walls and immersed ascomata were common below mean tide level.     

红树植物对根域真菌生态的影响

植物根系具有丰富的微生物种类和生物量,为了掌握红树植物根系真菌的生态状况,在广东湛江红树林国家级自然保护区内6种红树植物群落中采集样品分离根际与非根际真菌,分析红树植物对根域真菌生态的影响以及根域真菌与环境因子的关系。从分离培养的6种红树植物的根域样本中,鉴定出5属11种真菌。桐花树、木榄、无瓣海桑和秋茄根际真菌的丰度与种类均高于非根际真菌,说明这4种红树植物对根际真菌生长有促进作用,而红海榄与白骨壤则相反,说明其对根际真菌有抑制作用。总体上,红树林林内真菌种类数远高于林外,表明红树植物覆盖对促进真菌物种多样性有积极作用。根际真菌丰度与总有机碳(TOC)呈显著负性相关关系,非根际真菌种类数与硝态氮(NO3-N)呈显著正相关关关系,说明根际TOC中可能含有抑制真菌生长作用的物质,而在非根际,红树植物根系分泌物影响较小。红树植物根系分泌物对根际微生物数量和种类数有一定的影响。     

Lower marine fungi (labyrinthulomycetes) and the decay of mangrove leaf litter

This paper deals with the association of members of the Labyrinthulomycetes (Thraustochytriales and Labyrinthulales) with decaying or decayed leaves at an intertidal mangrove at Morib, Malaysia. Representatives of both orders of these obligately marine unicellular eukaryotes of unresolved taxonomic affinities (Chamberlain & Moss, 1998) were consistently isolated from leaves at all stages of decay from the recently fallen to those in an advanced stage of decay, but not from either green or senescent yellow leaves attached to trees. Baiting experiments using -irradiated leaf discs of Sonneratia and Rhizophora spp. immersed in the aquatic environment of the mangrove, revealed that leaf material was colonised by both labyrinthulids and thraustochytrids within 24 hours of immersion at the test site and these organisms were isolated from the leaf material throughout the 14 day study period. In vitro experiments using axenic cultures of three thraustochytrid genera inoculated onto sterile discs of Sonneratia leaves and incubated for 14 days caused loss of both biomass and structural integrity of the leaf material. Freeze fracture, followed by scanning electron microscopy of leaves inoculated with a thraustochytrid and a strain of Labyrinthula, revealed that penetration of the leaf occured after 4 days and that the thraustochytrid was associated with localised degradation of internal leaf tissues. Cellulase production by an isolate of Schizochytrium aggregatum was detected. The results of all the above investigations are discussed with reference to the role of members of the Labyrinthulomycetes in nutrient cycling in the mangrove.

Ecology of mangrove fungi and their role in nutrient cycling: what gaps occur in our knowledge?

Recent investigations have increased our knowledge of the ecology of mangrove fungi. In this paper this information is reviewed with emphasis on biogeography, biodiversity, differences in the tropical and subtropical mycoflora, fungal distribution on mangroves trees, host specificity, vertical zonation and distribution with salinity. Gaps in our knowledge are discussed. There is little knowledge of the role of mangrove fungi in nutrient cycling which is also reviewed. Areas in which knowledge is deficient include quantification techniques for fungal abundance, the nature and activities of fungal extracellular enzymes and fungal modification of mangrove detritus matter, especially the dissolved form.     

Regeneration and colonisation of mangrove on clay-filled reclaimed land in Singapore

A mature mangrove community was preserved at Pasir Ris during the reclamation of its foreshore by maintaining a channel (river) so that the plot could be subjected to inundation frequency of 40 to 50 times per month. By subjecting the embankments of the river and another plot of vacant reclaimed land adjacent to the mature community to a similar frequency of inundation, new mangrove communities comprising Avicennia spp and Sonneratia alba were regenerated. When the depth of the mangrove soil increased proportionately with time, succession by another seral community (Rhizophora spp) occurred. Factors affecting the development of the mangrove soil and its nutrient accumulation over time, and the regeneration of new mangrove communities through colonisation by different plant and animal species are discussed.

六种海桑属红树植物根际真菌特征及其影响因子

真菌多样性是植物根际生态系统的重要构成与植物健康稳定的重要指标。海桑属是红树林的先锋物种,采用真菌ITS1区高通量测序方法,分析了六种海桑属红树根际真菌的组成和多样性,结合土壤理化性质探讨影响不同植物根际真菌群落组成差异的因素。结果显示,根际真菌隶属于7门、96科、155属,子囊菌门作为优势菌门在海桑属不同红树中相对丰度无显著差异,都超过27%,但次优势的担子菌门丰度含量有差异;属水平上,优势菌属的丰度含量不同,曲霉属在卵叶海桑的丰度最高(29.57%),在海南海桑最低(3.47%)。六种红树植物根际存在特有的代表类群,如无瓣海桑的马拉色菌(9.31%)和毛腐菌属(10.05%),海南海桑中的Talaromyces(19.61%)和Acremonium(13.58%)。比较多样性指数Simpson和Shannon,发现拟海桑是六种植物中丰度最高的,卵叶海桑最低。RDA分析发现子囊菌门与全磷含量呈显著负相关,担子菌门与速效钾呈明显正相关。六种海桑属红树植物根际核心物种分析表明,优势真菌类群曲霉属和一些低丰度的真菌类群,通过降解有机质参与碳循环,对根际土壤生态系统的稳定起重要作用。六种海桑...     

Diversity and abundance of nematode-trapping fungi from decaying litter in terrestrial, freshwater and mangrove habitats

Nematode-trapping fungi are ubiquitous in terrestrial habitats in dung, soils, litter and woody debris and they also occur in freshwater, but only one species has been found in marine habitats. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate whether nematode-trapping fungi occurred in mangrove habitats. To achieve this we assessed the diversity of nematode-trapping fungi on decaying litter from mangroves, freshwater and terrestrial habitats (22 sites) in Hong Kong. Composite samples (n = 1,320) of decaying litter (wood and leaves) were examined and a total of 31 species of nematode-trapping fungi belonging to four genera, Arthrobotrys, Monacrosporium, and Dactylella were recorded. Twenty-nine species reported in this study are new records for Hong Kong and 16 species are new records from mangrove habitats worldwide. Nematode trapping fungi are therefore present in marine environments. Commonly encountered taxa were Arthrobotrys oligospora and Monacrosporium thaumasium which are abundant in all habitats. A. oligospora, M. thaumasium and Arthrobotrys musiformis were frequent (F > 10%). Twenty-six species were rare (0.16–9.32%). Species richness and diversity was higher in terrestrial than in freshwater and mangrove habitats (ANOVA, P < 0.001). A higher mean diversity was observed on decaying leaves as compared to decaying wood in all habitats (P < 0.001). Based on Shannon diversity index, it was also observed that taxa characterized by adhesive nets were more frequent in all habitats. This can be explained by the fact that these taxa may have a better competitive saprotrophic ability which would allow them to compete favourably in nutrient limited environments. Abiotic factors that could be linked to differences in species diversity between decaying wood and leaves are also discussed.     

三种红树林植物健康与非健康叶片中真菌的比较

红树林叶片感染真菌后可能会向非健康状态变化,为了比较三种红树林植物海漆、秋茄和桐花树健康与非健康叶片真菌类群,明确其中真菌类群的差异,该研究从广西茅尾海红树林自然保护区采集海漆、秋茄和桐花树健康与非健康叶片,对叶片中真菌分离纯化并进行形态学鉴定,提取真菌的DNA,采用RAPD多样性、ITS序列对真菌进行分子鉴定。经过初步分析,从海漆、秋茄和桐花树中共分离到157株真菌,经过形态学和RAPD分析,可能为19种不同的真菌。采用真菌ITS序列对19种真菌代表性菌株进行分析,结果表明:19种真菌都属于子囊菌门,有15株与已有的真菌ITS序列相似性在97%以上;有4株相似性低于95%,可能为新种。海漆健康和非健康叶片分别分离到真菌7种和5种,健康叶片含了非健康叶片中所有真菌;秋茄健康和非健康叶片分离到真菌1种和9种,且健康叶片中分离到的内生真菌Dothiorella aegiceri也包含于非健康叶片分离的真菌中;桐花树健康和非健康叶片分离到真菌1种和3种,且桐花树分离的内生真菌也是Dothiorella aegiceri,其包含于非健康叶片中分离到的真菌。该研究证明,海漆内生真菌同时也可能是植物病原菌,内生真菌与植物病原菌没有明显界限;另一方面,该研究发现秋茄和桐花树叶片的病变是由外部的病原真菌感染引起,感染的原因可能是昆虫叮咬红树林植物后留下了创口,这些创口有利于真菌的感染。

High incidence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in rare and endangered wild grapevine

High levels of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonisation of 90–100%, as well as high vesicular and arbuscular colonisation were found in the roots of the rare and endangered wild grapevine (Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris) along the Neretva River in southwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, surpassing colonisation in region vineyads.     

Colonisation of spruce roots by two interacting ectomycorrhizal fungi in wood ash amended substrates

Interactions between two ectomycorrhizal fungal species, Piloderma croceum Erikss. and Hjortst. and Piloderma sp. 1 (found to colonise spruce roots and wood ash granules in the field), were investigated in wood ash amended substrates. The comparative ability of these fungi to colonise roots of non-mycorrhizal spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) seedlings was studied in relation to factorial combinations of wood ash and N fertilisation. Non-mycorrhizal spruce seedlings (bait seedlings) were planted together with spruce seedlings colonised by P. croceum or Piloderma sp. 1. The growth substrate was a sand-peat mixture with wood ash or no ash and supplied with two levels of N, so that four substrate combinations were obtained. Piloderma sp. 1 mycelia colonised around 60% of the fine roots of bait seedlings in ash treatments regardless of N level and around 20-26% in treatments without ash. P. croceum only colonised 8% of the root tips in the presence of ash but 56% of the root tips in the low-N treatment without ash. However, in the high-N treatment without ash the colonisation level was reduced to around 30%. Total numbers of root tips per seedling did not vary significantly between the treatments. Possible reasons for the competitive advantage of Piloderma sp. 1 in wood ash fertilised substrate are discussed.

白腐真菌染料脱色菌株的筛选及一色齿毛菌脱色条件的研究

以平皿培养方式对采集自中国和芬兰的白腐真菌菌株降解6种不同结构的人工染料的能力进行了筛选研究。在40株菌株中,黑管孔菌Bjerkandera adusta Y5012,一色齿毛菌Cerrena unicolor Y5002,硬毛粗盖孔菌Funalia trogii Y4997,香栓孔菌Trametes suaveolens D8325和云芝栓孔菌Trametes versicolor Y4946对刚果红、橙黄G、茜素红、结晶紫、中性红和亚甲基蓝均显示出较强的脱色能力。对一色齿毛菌Cerrena unicolor Y5002的液体培养脱色条件进行了研究,其最适碳源和氮源分别为蔗糖和麦芽浸粉;在不同橙黄G浓度下均获得较高的脱色率,因此浓度为500mg/L的橙黄G未对该菌的脱色能力产生抑制作用,而浓度为400mg/L茜素红则对其脱色作用产生明显抑制。对菌丝生物量和染料脱色率的研究表明,在不同碳源和氮源条件下,两者之间具有明显的正相关性。     

Dynamics of fruit-body production and mycorrhiza formation of ectomycorrhizal ammonia fungi in warm temperate forests in Japan

To investigate the quantitative correlation between dynamics of ectomycorrhiza (ECM) formation and fruit-body production of the ammonia fungi, we treated forest soils in two ECM forests, a Castanopsis cuspidata forest and a Quercus serrata forest, in warm temperate Japan with urea to induce fruiting of ammonia fungi. We identified the ectomycorrhizae of two known species of ammonia fungi, Alnicola lactariolens and Hebeloma vinosophyllum, using morphological typing and PCR-RFLP. ECM initiation, increase, and subsequent decrease preceded the start, increase, and decrease of fruit-body production for each species. We also found many kinds of ECM fungi that did not develop fruit bodies after urea treatment during the observation period, which suggests that it is necessary to expand the definition of ammonia fungi from one that refers solely to the species reproducing on the ground to one which includes those in somatic forms in the soil.     

低温刺激对食用菌子实体形成的研究进展

探究低温刺激子实体形成过程的组学数据能为食用菌的工厂化低碳高效栽培及广温型品种的选育提供参考。本文首先通过主成分分析对食用菌低温刺激子实体形成的类型进行低温型(11−19 ℃)和冷压型的划分(≤10 ℃)。在此基础上,综述了食用菌两种类型的低温刺激子实体形成过程的研究进展。食用菌低温刺激子实体形成过程中都涉及信号转导、胁迫响应、基础代谢、细胞分化、细胞结构变化等代谢过程。随着低温型到冷压型的刺激温度下降,糖代谢可能转向脂代谢为子实体形成提供能量。
