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.

Tuz Gölü (Türkiye) Mikrofungus Çeşitliliği ve Dağılımı

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, geleneksel ve moleküler tanılama verileri kullanılarak Tuz Gölü'ndeki mikrofungus çeşitliliğinin aydınlatılması ve popülasyon dinamikleriyle ilişkilendirilmesidir. Mikrofunguslar, mevsimsel olarak üç istasyondan alınan toplam 24 örnekten, iki tip ortam kullanılarak membran filtrasyon yöntemi ile izole edilmiştir. DRBC besiyerinin kullanıldığında koloni sayıları tuzla havuz suyunda 68 CFU / 100 ml ve göl suyunda 86 CFU / ml olmuştur; DRBC17 besiyerinde ise her iki tip su örneğinde de koloni sayısı aynı 21 CFU / 100 ml bulunmuştur. DRBC ortamında 19 cinse ait 52 farklı tür izole edilirken, DRBC17 üzerinde 11 cinse ait 30 farklı tür tespit edilmiştir. Toplamda 21 cinse ait 54 farklı tür izole edilmiştir. Tür çeşitliliğine göre önde gelen cinsler Penicillium (15 tür), Aspergillus (8 tür), Alternaria (8 tür), Cladosporium (5 tür), Arthrinium (2 tür) 'dur. Bu çalışma, Tuz Gölü mikobiyotasının yüksek bir çeşitliliğe sahip olduğunu ve izole edilen türlerin büyük bir kısmının tuzlu ortamlara adapte olmuş türler olduğunu göstermiştir.
