Microfungi of Mac.Robertson and Enderby Lands, Antarctica

摘要

Filamentous fungi were isolated from soils and plant and animal material using Warcup's soil plate method. Collections were made at eight localities in Mac. Robertson Land and five in Enderby Land, between December 1979 and October 1980. The major taxa isolated werePenicilliumspp., especiallyP. brevi-compactumandP. cyclopium, andCladosporium herbarum. Sterile forms comprised 47 and 60 of isolates from Mac. Robertson and Enderby Lands, respectively.Sporothrix ?ramosissimawas isolated from Mac.Robertson Land soil. This represents the first record of this genus from Antarctica.
