| a functional interpretation of the role of the reticuloperidium in whole-ascoma dispersal by arthropods. | auxarthron conjugatum (onygenaceae) and myxotrichum deflexum (myxotrichaceae) are distantly related cleistothecial (gymnothecial) ascomycetes that form ascomata with strikingly similar peridia in which rigid, branched and anastomosed, thick-walled hyphae create a cage- or mesh-like enclosure (reticuloperidium). we tested the hypothesis that the reticuloperidium plays a role in dispersal mediated by arthropods by enclosing ascomata of these fungi together with flies from the family sarcophagidae. ... | 2003 | 12735247 |
| morphology and development of the reticuloperidial ascomata of auxarthron conjugatum. | light and electron microscopy showed that the reticuloperidium of thick-walled hyphae, characteristic of the mature ascoma of auxarthron conjugaturn, originated from branches that grew from the broad, gyre-like hyphal loops making up the ascomatal initials. within the developing peridium, short, acropetally proliferating chains of prototunicate asci each arose from a single crozier and matured from base to tip. the walls of young asci were two-layered but evanesced as they matured with the outer ... | 2006 | 17040073 |
| incidence of keratinophilic fungi from the soils of vedanthangal water bird sanctuary (india). | summary fifty-three soil samples were collected from various sites in the vicinity of vedanthangal water bird sanctuary and screened for the presence of keratinophilic fungi using the hair baiting techniques for isolation. twenty-eight isolates were recovered and identified by recognition of their macro- and micromorphological features. seven species related to five genera were recorded viz. auxarthron conjugatum (1.89%), chrysosporium fluviale (3.77%), chrysosporium indicum (20.75%), chrysospor ... | 2010 | 20406397 |
