Abstract: | The most abundant marine fungi encountered in various regions of the Sea of Japan belong to the generaPenicillium, Aspergillus, Wardomyces, Trichoderma, Chrysosporium, andChaetomium. Facultative marine fungi of the generaScytalidium, Verticillium, andOidiodendron and obligate marine fungi of the genusDendryphiella are much less abundant. The composition of marine sediments and the anthropogenic load on them were found to influence the
abundance and species diversity of fungi, as well as the occurrence of fungal strains producing hemolytically active substances.
The biodiversity of mycobiota and the abundance of hemotoxin-producing fungi in marine sediments may be used to evaluate the
anthropogenic load on marine biocenoses. Hemolytic compounds were produced by 57% of the fungi isolated from marine sediments.
The hemolytic activity ofChaetomium spiculipilium was revealed in the fraction of the culture liquid containing extracellular fatty acids and pigments. The fatty acid composition
of this marine fungus was determined. |
