“…It was also recovered from the submerged mud of the River Nile (EL-HISSY and EL-NAGDY 1983), from different soils of Egyptian deserts (EL-NAGDY 1991) and from the mud collected from mangroves of Red Sea (KHALLIL et al 1991). Moreover, Allomyces species were also isolated from a variety of soil groups, especially when the soil is moist, in several other parts of the world: Congo, Uganda and Rhodesia (EMERSON 1941), Hong Kong (YUNG andSTENTON 1964), in Australia (JEFFERY and WILLOUGHBY 1964), in Taiwan (CHIU-YUAN 1974), Nigeria (ALABI 1974), Denmark (LUND 1978), Spain (WILLOUGHBY 1984) and India (PRABHUJI 1984). Phytophthora was also of low frequency of occurrence (15 out of 76 mud samples) matching 15.14% of total count of isolates and it was found in the four lakes.…”

Twenty-six identified and three unidentified species belonging to eight genera of zoosporic fungi were recovered from seventy-six mud samples of Egyptian lakes using sesame seeds as baits. Nineteen samples were collected along the borders of four major lakes. Pythium, Phytophthora and Allomyces, yielded the highest spectra of zoosporic species, while Aqualinderella, Blastocladia and Dictyuchus, had one species. Pythium, Aphanomyces, Allomyces, Aqualinderella, Phytophthora and Saprolegnia were the dominant zoosporic genera while Blastocladia and Dictyuchus were rare. The most prevalent species of zoosporic fungi were Aqualinderella fermentans, Aphanomyces laevis and unidentified Pythium species while the other isolated species in this study were rare. Menzalah was the richest lake with zoosporic species followed by Borolous and Karoon. Some zoosporic fungal genera were recovered from the mud of the four tested lakes (participator genera) and others from three lakes or from only two lakes. Physicochemical characteristics of the mud samples (pH, total soluble salts and organic matter) revealed no correlation with the fungal occurrence and distribution in these lakes.

One hundred and eleven identified and seven unidentified species in addition to 5 varieties belonging to forty-three aquatic fungal genera were recovered from 452 soil samples collected randomly from different localities in Nile Delta and Suez canal regions including eleven governorates. The investigated soil samples were collected seasonally during the period from autumn 1990 to summer 1991 (1 13 samples each season). The richest season (85 identified and 5 unidentified species in addition to 2 varieties) in aquatic fungi was the winter season (10.0-15.5 "C) whereas the poorest (32 identified and 5 unidentified species in addition to one variety) was summer (24.0-27.5 "C). The richest soil samples in aquatic fungi were those of low or moderate temperature seasons, high contents of organic matter and considerably poor in total soluble salts. The pH value did not show any regular seasonal variation and did not exhibit any considerable influence on fungal populations. Some aquatic fungal genera and species were disappeared completely in certain seasons and vice versa.The most dominant aquatic fungal genera were Pythium, Allomyces, Aqualinderella and Nowakowskiella. The commonest aquatic fungal species were Allomyces anomalus, Aqualinderella fermentans, Nowakowskiella elegans, Blastocladiopsis parva and Dictyuchus sterilis.The seasonal fluctuations of aquatic fungi were followed in various parts of the world (e.g.
