Study of the effect of different techniques on diversity of freshwater hyphomycetes in the River Nile (Upper Egypt).

Four different techniques were applied, lead mapping of Eucalptus rostrata; randomly leaf sampling; Millipore filtration; spores in foam, for the study of aquatic hyphomycets communities in the River Nile. Triscelophorus monlosporus, Anguilospora longissima, Flagellospora curvula and Tetracladium marchalianum were the dominant species in all the techniques used. Aquatic hyphomycetes diversity was high by using leaf mapping (23 species) and randomly leaf sampling (30 species) but it was low by using Millipore filtration (11 species) and spores in foam (8 species) techniques.

Myxomycetes from upper Egypt.

The results of the first inventory of Myxomycetes from the subtropical region Upper Egypt are reported. The substrates were wood, bark of living and dead tree and leaf litter. 20 species belonging to 17 genera of Myxomycetes were identified. Wood was the best substrate for Myxomycetes colonization. Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, Didymiun melanospermum, Licea biforis and Lycogala epidendrum were the most common species. Brief description and classification of species are provided.
