New to Kazakhstan species of zygomycetes in forest soil of Trans-Ili Alatau and Kungey Alatau
Abstract
This article provides data on two species of soil zygomycetes, new to Kazakhstan, found in the rhizosphere of various woody plants in the Trans-Ili and Kungey Alatau (Northern Tien Shan) – Piptocephalis cylindrospora and Lichtheimia corymbifera. P. cylindrospora is an obligate parasite of zygomycetous fungi; in the study area, it was found twice in Kungey Alatau on species Absidia spinosa and Lichtheimia corymbifera in the rhizosphere of Populus tremula. It does not cause a noticeable deterioration in the development of the host. Earlier, in Kazakhstan, only Piptocephalis arrhiza was registered in the rhizosphere of Armeniaca vulgaris, Populus tremula, Picea schrenkiana, Juniperus spp. Lichtheimia corymbifera, previously belonging to the genus Absidia, was recorded in the rhizosphere of Populus tremula in Kungey Alatau and in the rhizosphere of Picea schrenkiana, Salix sp., Crataegus sp. in Trans-Ili Alatau. L. corymbifera is characterized by heights of 1677 m in Kungey Alatau, and from 1516 to 2007 m a. s. l. in Trans-Ili Alatau. Until recently, in Kazakhstan, only a closely related species Absidia spinosa was isolated from the rhizosphere of Malus sieversii, Armeniaca vulgaris, Crataegus spp., Pinus sylvestris, Populus spp., Sorbus tianschanica, Picea schrenkiana, Salix spp. Descriptions of species colonies based on isolated pure cultures, morphological data, information on ecology and distribution are offered. In L. corymbiferacultures, the so-called “self-parasitism” is observed, in which the fungal hyphae colonize sporangiophores, and the latter look like penetrated by hyphae. The sexual stage of both species was not found in our studies.
