Filamentous fungi were isolated from contaminated sediment samples in the Amazon region of Brazil t o select species with potential for benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) degradation, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with high molecular weight and known for its mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. The isolates were submitted to biodegradability test using 2.6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP), gallic acid reaction, and evaluation of BaP influence in the enzymatic (ligninolytic) activity. The selected fungi were submitted to the taxonomic identification and used in biodegradation assays, which were carried out using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A qualitative analysis of the presence of BaP metabolites that have recently been reported in literature was also performed by GC-MS. A total of 146 fungal isolates were recovered. Among them, 63.7 % were positive for the redox indicator DCPIP. From these isolates, 22.6 % showed positive responses to the gallic acid reaction. In enzymatic tests, the fungi Megasporoporia sp. S47 and unidentified Sordariales S69 presented highest activities of laccase and manganese peroxidase in the presence of BaP. Additionally, the white-rot fungus Megasporoporia sp. S47 showed better performance in BaP degradation (54 %). Therefore, Megasporoporia sp. S47, obtained from an environment with considerable PAH contamination, was selected as a promising genetic resource for application in new studies related to enzyme production and characterization and BaP degradation optimization.

“…Polyporus rhizophilus is known mostly from scattered localities in central, southern and eastern europe as well as from northern africa and asia (rauschert 1962; kotlaba 1984). it was recently recorded in south america (silveira, Wright 2005;Gomes-silva, Gibertoni 2009). Polyporus cryptopus, a species with a very similar morphology, biology and ecological requirements, occurs on prairie grasses of the Great Plains in north america.…”

The distribution and ecological conditions of the occurrence of Polyporus rhizophilus in Poland are discussed. The species was previously known from only one locality in Dwikozy near Sandomierz. Further localities were found on the roots of Stipa capillata in the Skorocice reserve near Busko Zdrój and at an anthropogenic site among Dactylis glomerata, Poa annua and P. trivialis grasses in an urban park in Końskie. The latter locality is noteworthy as it is situated outside the occurrence range of xerothermic grasslands in the Wyżyna Kielecko-Sandomierska upland. This locality is isolated ecologically from the two remaining Polish localities situated in the xerothermic grasslands.

“…The most important recent contributions have been made by research groups from the states of Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, and Santa Catarina. During the VI Latin-American Mycology Congress in 2008, a working group of Latin American researchers focused on the diversity of the 2_Baltazar & Gibertoni aphyllophoroid fungi was created with a commitment to publish checklists on this group of fungi for areas or countries in Latin America. Following this commitment, Brazilian researchers are now providing these checklists Gomes-Silva & Gibertoni 2009).…”

The Atlantic Forest is one of the most diverse and threatened biomes of the world. A list with 733 species of aphyllophoroid fungi reported from the Brazilian Altantic Forest is presented based on an intensive search of literature records. These species are distributed in 219 genera and 47 families. Polyporaceae is the most highly represented family with 153 species; Phellinus is the genus with the highest number of species (42).
