History of Marine Mycology in India

  • First Online:
Progress in Mycology

Abstract

About 225 marine fungi and fungus-like organisms have been listed in India, including Labyrinthulomycetes (14), Chytridiomycetes (4), Oomycetes (4), Ascomycetes (149), Basidiomycetes (3), Hyphomycetes (39) and Coelomycetes (12). All these species were reported from intertidal wood, driftwood, intertidal mangrove wood, salt marsh plants, water and sediment samples, algae and animals, and propagules (ascospores/conidia) of marine fungi in foam samples. The most speciose genera are from Ascomycetes including Aigialus (5 spp.), Aniptodera (7 spp.), Arenariomyces (4 spp.), Bathyascus (5 spp.), Ceriporiopsis (3 spp.), Corollospora (14 spp.), Halosarpheia (6 spp.), Lulworthia (5 spp.), Nimbospora (3 spp.), Saagaromyces (3 spp.), Dyfrolomyces (5 spp.), Savoryella (5 spp.) and Trichocladium (6 spp.). A few species colonize both the marine and freshwater habitats (Aniptodera chesapeakensis, A. lignatilis, Natantispora retorquens, Savoryella lignicola and Zopfiella vlatipes). Seven genera and 44 new species have been described from India. Developments in marine fungal research in India are discussed.
