Morphology and phylogeny of root-endophytic fungus Periconia igniaria

Periconia igniaria,isolated as an endophytic fungus from roots of Cheilocostus speciosus from Calangute,Bardez,Goa,India was described in this manuscript.The identity of the endophytic isolate was based on asexual-morphs,cultural characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of internal transcribed spacer rDNA sequence data.To our knowledge,this is the first report of this taxon as root endophyte of Cheilocostus speciosus from Western Ghats forests,Goa,India.

Morphotaxonomic and phylogenetic analysis of Saprolegnia ferax from India

Saprolegnia ferax is isolated from polluted water sample collected from Mula River,Pune,Maharashtra,India.The isolated taxon is illustrated and compared with the morphotaxonomy based first record of Indian S.ferax isolated by Wani et al.(2017).The present study deals with the re-description of the isolated taxon S.ferax based on detail morphological features,sequence analysis and phylogeny of ITS and LSU regions of rDNA.
