Abstract

Aquaphila albicans gen. and sp. nov. from submerged wood in the tropics is described and illustrated. It produces hyaline, multiseptate, fusoid or falcate conidia resembling the macroconidia of Fusarium species, but differs by its conidiogenesis and the aquatic habitat. The conidiophores of A. albicans are septate, hyaline, sympodially proliferating with conidiogenous denticles. Conidial development in A. albicans has been studied in culture and results are presented. The genus is compared with similar genera.
