ABSTRACT

The main objective of present study was to examine the effects of physico-chemical parameters of the Yashwant sagar dam water on the diversity and growth of aquatic mycoflora. This study was conducted during March 2014-February 2016. Monthly samples were taken to establish the relationship between physical chemical parameters and aquatic fungi diversity. Total 19 species including 12 genera were recorded from the dam water. Temperature, pH, dissolve oxygen, phosphate, chloride were the important parameters to directly affected the distribution and occurrence of mycoflora. Some species found the adaptability to tolerate all the parameters and showed flexible growth were Pythium catenulatum, P. middletoni, P. aphanidermatum, Dictyuchus sterile, Achlya bisexualis, Saprolegnia ferax, S. diclina and Aphanomyces laevis.[4]
