Degradation of Phytophthora cactorum hyphal cell walls in mycelial mats was effected by incubation in a mixture of cellulase and hemicellulase for 7 days; fragments of homogenized mycelium were degraded after only 2 days. Oospore suspensions free from debris were obtained from the enzyme-treated cultures by washing them through nylon nets.

The enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDH, succinate: (acceptor) oxidoreductase, EC 1.3.99.1) was localized by the combined techniques of cytochemistry and electron microscopy in the hyphae of a self-parasitizing isolate of Saprolegnia megasperma Coker. The enzyme was localized in the mitochondrial membranes; its activity was inhibited by malonate. Electron-dense deposits, whose formation was not prevented by the addition of malonate, appeared outside of the hyphal cell walls. No evidence was found at the ultrastructural level within the vegetative hyphae for any abnormalities which could be linked to the phenomenon of self-parasitism.

Fungal Hyphae

Mature Psilotum gametophytes found in greenhouse pots containing plants of Hoya, Philodendron, Aspidistra, or Diffenbachia were processed for microscopy. An endophytic fungus was abundant in the rhizoids and in most cortical parenchyma cells except at the growing apices. Although the fungus has not been identified, it is an aseptate fungus with coarse hyphae which occasionally form vesicles. Endophytic fungal hyphae store quantities of lipid which appear to be released into the host cytoplasm upon fungal degeneration. This lipid and the remnants of hyphal cell walls may be used as an energy source by the achlorophyllous gametophyte. Gametophyte cell organelles, including the nucleus, appear to degenerate after fungal breakdown, and the cells presumably die. Although reinfection of cells containing degenerated hyphae was found, it was not particularly common.

Thallus morphology has traditionally played a major role in the classification of lichenised fungi. We have used a combined dataset of nuITS, nuLSU and mtSSU rDNA sequences to evaluate the phylogenetic relationships between the subcrustose genus Karoowia and the mostly foliose genus Xanthoparmelia. Our phylogenetic analyses using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and a Bayesian approach show that Karoowia species do not form a monophyletic group but cluster in different clades nested within Xanthoparmelia. The monophyly of Karoowia either as a separate clade from Xanthoparmelia, or nested within Xanthoparmelia is significantly rejected using alternative hypothesis testing. These results suggest that the usefulness of the phenotypic features used to define Karoowia has been overestimated because the subcrustose growth form has evolved independently in several clades within Xanthoparmelia. Other characters used to circumscribe Karoowia, such as the presence of cylindrical conidia, also occur in Xanthoparmelia, and the differences in rhizine morphology are minimal. Consequently, we propose to reduce Karoowia to synonymy with Xanthoparmelia. The enlarged genus is characterised by the presence of Xanthoparmelia-type lichenan in the hyphal cell walls and the presence of an arachiform vacuolar body in the ascospores. Fifteen new combinations in Xanthoparmelia and the new name Xanthoparmelia mucinae for Karoowia squamatica are made.

AbstractThe thallus structure of a common epiphytic lichen Hypogymnia physodes growingon the bark of Pinus sylvestris under a variety of microclimatic conditions was studied by means of fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy. The disparity between the thallus layer thicknesses of specimens growing in different habitats proved to be small though obvious, and differences also appeared in the amount of gelatinous substances in the hyphal cell walls ofthe cortex and algal layer. Furthermore, the occurrence of a pored epicortex of H. physodes at dry sites is reported. The size distribution of the thalli, thallus area and the production of soralia showed a complex interaction with microclimate. Against a background of the microclimatic data collected here, humidity is considered to be the most important factor affecting the anatomy and morphology of the thallus.

Culturally and morphologically, P. mutabilis manifest wide variation in regard to pigmentation and colonial and microscopic appearance(1) . A composite of all the cultural characteristics of this fungus manifested only when a variety of media was employed for cultivation. Colonies grown on Sabouraud ' s dextrose agar, malt extract and Wort agar generally contained a central pigmented mycelial mat and a yeast-like peripheral zone. The colonies were completely yeast-like on corn meal agar. Microscopic examination from slide cultures on different media revealed conidia, chlamydospores and rare phialides.This is the first ultrastructural analysis of P. mutabilis. Culture from Sabouraud's dextrose agar were examined first. The outer surface of the hyphal cell walls is electron dense with a fibrillar network.

Hyphal cell walls were prepared by ultrasonication. Glucose was the only sugar detected in both species. Evidence was obtained indicating that the Pythium butleri Subram. glucan is beta 1,2-linked, and that the glucan of Pythium myriotylum Drechsler is beta 1,4-linked. Sixteen amino acids were detected in P. butleri cell wall hydrolysates. Four of these amino acids were absent from P. myriotylum preparations. Similar quantities of lipid were found in both species. The significance of these data for fungal classification is discussed.
