Ganoderma lucidum (Curtis) P. Karst is a white rot fungus that able to degrade the lignin component in wood. The ability of two strains this species produce ligninolytic enzyme laccase was assessed. After evaluation induction with heavy metals and phenolic compounds, it found among tested substances, copper ferulic acid are best inducers. It also observed types inducers (phenolic metallic) different electrophoretic patterns activity. Optimized concentrations were obtained through factorial...
Abstract As public policies and conservation requirements for biodiversity evolve there is a need term the kingdom Fungi equivalent to Fauna Flora. This considered be urgent in order simplify projects oriented toward implemention of educational goals. In an informal meeting held during IX Congreso Latinoamericano de Micología by authors, idea clarifying this matter initiated extensive search pertinent terminologies. result these discussions reviews, we propose that word Funga employed as...
The genus Tomentella forms abundant ectomycorrhizae in coniferous and deciduous forests worldwide. Molecular identification of root tips suggests undescribed species the Nothofagus Patagonia, Argentina. tenuissima, T. pulvinulata patagonica are described here as new to science based on morphological molecular analyses. Their host range is addressed using available soil sequences. identity previous records galzinii radiosa discussed with evidence.
Mycelium composites consist of particulate lignocellulosic materials, e.g., sawdust from the timber industry structured as a solid matrix resulting mycelial growth. Many protocols have been proposed based on different strains and substrates. However, influence intrinsic elements, such structure hyphal system main parameters required by still needs to be researched. The goal this work is assess performance five Patagonian lignocellulolytic fungal species for producing mycelium composites....
The VIIIth Brazilian Mycological Congress, held in Florianópolis (Brazil) October 2016, was organized by the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina and brought together more than 1000 scientists of 20 nationalities, which illustrates dynamism South American mycology, many fields. One major take-home messages, amongst research talks posters, rising interest ectomycorrhizal (EM) symbiosis, addressed both a symposium 3-day workshop ‘To roots trees: growing awareness symbioses Neotropics’. Talks...
Because of systematic sampling campaigns in the northern Patagonian Nothofagaceae forests Argentina, several specimens sequestrate fungi were collected. Some those collections showed phylogenetic affinities and morphological similarities to members formerly recognized genus Thaxterogaster, currently a synonym Cortinarius on basis molecular data. Comparisons macro- micromorphological features sequences nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions have revealed that these belong...
Knowledge regarding the enzymatic machinery of fungi is decisive to understand their ecological role. The species genus Geastrum are known grow extremely slowly in pure culture, which makes it difficult evaluate physiological parameters such as enzyme activity. Qualitative assays were performed on isolates four this genus, showing evidence laccase, cellulase, pectinase, amylase and lipase activity suggesting that a wide range carbon sources can be exploited by these species. For first time...
In the Patagonian region, Cortinarius is most diverse and abundant genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi with at least 250 species. Sequestrate forms were until recently documented within Thaxterogaster, a now known to be polyphyletic, many consequently transferred Cortinarius. Original descriptions mostly available in German Spanish interpretations morphological structures outdated. Despite recent advances systematics, current classification, diversity, ecology sequestrate "cortinarioid" Patagonia...
A new species, Geastrum episcopale, is described from Argentina. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of fresh dry basidiomata are provided along with photographs microscopic elements, such as spores, capillitium, calcium oxalate crystals, exo- endoperidium surfaces. This fungus typical the genus in its morphology ecology but clearly differs every known species. species can be distinguished easily by red-violet (to magenta) exoperidium lilac endoperidium. Specimens were collected on wet...
Molecular phylogenetic analyses have addressed the systematic position of several major Northern Hemisphere lineages Pezizales but taxa Southern remain understudied. This study focuses on molecular systematics and taxonomy species currently treated in genera Underwoodia Gymnohydnotrya . Species these been identified as monophyletic/gymnohydnotrya lineage, no further research has conducted to determine evolutionary origin this lineage or its relationship with other lineages. Here, we present...
An expanded-polystyrene factory located in northern Buenos Aires reported unusual dark spots causing esthetic damage their production. A fungal strain forming black-olive colonies on extract malt agar medium was isolated from the damaged material and identified as Aureobasidium pullullans var. melanogenum. This fungus is particularly known for its capacity to produce hydrolytic enzymes a biodegradable extracellular polysaccharide pullulan, which used manufacture of packaging food medicine....
Solid-state fermentation (SSF) with the medicinal higher Basidiomycete Ganoderma lucidum was studied as a strategy to use pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) and poplar (Populus nigra L.) wood chips sawdust. Fruiting bodies were produced value of biotransformed substrate assessed. The highest mushroom yield (63 g dry weight per kilogram substrate) obtained sawdust chips. Immersion bioreactors simple watering method that suitable yields. Two morphological types induced using 2 different incandescent...
A survey of Geastrum species from arid lands in the La Rioja province (northwestern Argentina) recovered fourteen previously unreported province: G. arenarium , campestre var. famatinum corollinum fimbriatum, floriforme, glaucescens, hieronymi aff. lloydianum pampeanum pallidum parvistriatum rufescens saccatum and schmidelii . Of these, new records are for Argentina, South America, Americas, is proposed as a variety. Each taxon described, photographs basidiomes SEM micrographs illustrating...
La presencia de especies Tomentella ha sido reportada abundantemente en bosques templados, tropicales y regiones circumpolares. Las del género forman típicamente ectomicorrizas (EM) aunque también micorrizas orquioides, ericoides, monotroides arbutoides. descripción caracterización los morfotipos EM constituyen una herramienta muy útil trabajos ecológicos. En este trabajo se presentan descripciones morfo-anatómicas 4 asociadas a Nothofagus pumilio, N. dombeyi, antarctica, Lophozonia alpina...
