Diversity and Distribution of Microfungi in Tuz Lake, Turkey

Abstract

The aim of this study is to help illuminate the microfungus diversity in Tuz Lake using traditional and molecular diagnostic data and to correlate it with population dynamics. Microfungi were isolated from a total of 24 samples taken from three stations seasonally by membrane filtration method using two types of media. When using DRBC medium, colony counts were 68 CFU / 100 ml in saltpan water and 86 CFU / ml in lake water. On the DRBC17 medium, the number of colonies in both types of water samples was found to be the same 21 CFU / 100 ml. While 52 different species belonging to 19 genera have been isolated on DRBC medium, 30 different species belonging to 11 genera were detected on DRBC17. In total, 54 different species belonging to 21 genera were isolated. According to the variety of species, the leading genera are Penicillium (15 spp), Aspergillus (8 spp), Alternaria (8 spp), Cladosporium (5 spp), Arthrinium (2 spp). This study showed that Tuz Lake mycobiota has a high diversity and most of the isolated species are adapted to saline environments.

The works submitted to our journals are first judged grammatically. After this phase, articles are sent two reviewers. If necessary, the third reviewer is assessed. In the publication of works, a decision is made by evaluating the level of contribution to science and readers within the criteria specified in the writing rules. Reviewers are requested to submit their assessments within 30 days at the latest. The reviewers' evaluations and the answers to these evaluations are reviewed by the editor and it is decided whether the work will be published or not.
