“…We observed a change in marine ascomycete community composition with latitude in both Texas and Florida, similar to patterns found in other geographical locations for marine fungi 54 – 56 , as well as for Ingoldian mitosporic ascomycetes 57 , 58 , and freshwater ascomycetes 41 . The studies of Hughes 50 and Booth and Kenkel 55 both examined larger geographical regions.…”

Fungi are an important and understudied component of coastal biomes including sand beaches. Basic biogeographic diversity data are lacking for marine fungi in most parts of the world, despite their important role in decomposition. We examined intertidal fungal communities at several United States (US) Gulf of Mexico sand beach sites using morphology and ITS rDNA terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analyses. Fungal biogeographical patterns from sand beach detritus (wood, emergent plant [mangrove/ saltmarsh], or marine [algae, seagrass]) from Florida, Mississippi, and Texas were investigated using diversity indices and multivariate analyses. Fungal diversity increased with decreasing latitude at our study sites. Substrate type strongly influenced fungal community structure in this region, with different fungal communities on detrital marine versus emergent substrates, as well as detrital marine versus wood substrates. Thirty-five fungi were identified morphologically, including new regional and host records. Of these, 86% were unique to an individual collection (i.e., sampled once from one site). Rarefaction curves from pooled morphological data from all sites estimate the number of samples required to characterize the mycota of each substrate. As sampling occurred before the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (April-2010), our findings contribute pre-oil spill sand beach biodiversity data and marine fungal distribution trends within this economically important oceanographic region.

“…He also found that the species composition of Ingoldian fungi in streams sampled at the northern latitudes were more similar to each other than either of them was to the southern subtropical region in Japan. Shearer and Burgos (1987) found a change in species composition of lignicolous marine fungi along collection sites between north, central and south Chile. They found that some species occurring in northern subtropical Chile did not occur in the anti-boreal southern part of Chile.…”

Latitudinal, habitat and substrate distribution patterns of freshwater ascomycetes in the Florida Peninsula

Freshwater ascomycetes are important decomposers of dead woody and herbaceous debris in aquatic habitats. Despite evidence of their ecological importance, latitudinal, habitat and substrate distributional patterns of freshwater ascomycetes are poorly understood. In this study, we examined the latitudinal and habitat distributional patterns, and substrate recurrences of freshwater ascomycetes by collecting dead submerged woody and herbaceous debris in lentic and lotic habitats at five selected sites along a north-central-south, temperate-subtropical latitudinal ecotone in Florida. One hundred and thirty-two fungal taxa were collected during the study. Seventy-four were meiosporic and 56 were mitosporic ascomycetes, while two species were basidiomycetes. Canonical analyses of principal coordinates (CAP) and Sørenson's similarity index of species based on presence/absence data revealed a high turnover in species composition between the northern and southern sites, indicating a change in species composition along the temperate-subtropical latitudinal ecotone of the Florida Peninsula. Results from the ordination analysis indicated that freshwater ascomycete community composition is not significantly different between lentic and lotic habitats in Florida. The geographically broadly distributed species and species commonly found in Florida occurred in both habitats, whereas a number of new or rare species occurred in either lentic or lotic habitats, but not both. The same freshwater ascomycete species did not necessarily occur on both woody and herbaceous debris; of the 132 taxa collected, 100 were reported only on woody debris; 14 species occurred exclusively on herbaceous debris; and 18 species were found on both woody and herbaceous debris in lentic or lotic habitats. Implications of data from this study to the conservation and knowledge of biodiversity for freshwater ascomycetes is discussed.

“…Initialy this was focused on temperate water fungi, especially wood-inhabiting taxa (Jones 1968;Schaumann 1968Schaumann , 1969Schaumann , 1975Grasso et al 1985Grasso et al , 1990Cuomo et al 1985Cuomo et al , 1988Shearer and Burgos 1987) with fewer studies in more recent years (Petersen and Koch 1997;Panebianco et al 2002;Abdel-Wahab 2011a, b). The most intensive collections were made by Koch and Petersen (1996), Lintott and Lintott (2002), Jones et al (1998), Jones (2010) and AbdelWahab et al 2008 who reported 75 (Denmark), 38 (New Zealand), 92 (Friday Harbour, USA) and 41 (Italy) fungi, respectively.…”

Fungal Diversity

Marine fungi have been widely studied over the past millennium and considerable progress has been made in documenting their phylogeny, biodiversity, ultrastructure, ecology, physiology and their ability to cause decay of lignocellulosic compounds. These studies have generated a wealth of publications and this review will focus primarily on research undertaken since 1995. During this period new topics have attracted marine mycologists especially: algicolous and manglicolous fungi, deep sea fungi, planktonic fungi, endophytes of marine plants, and the screening of taxa for new chemical structures and bioactive compounds. This review will also highlight areas that warrant further investigation, including surveys for marine fungi in Africa, artic waters and south America, more detailed studies of their physiology and biochemistry, and to determine the marine origin of so called "marine derived" fungi.
