The fungal communities of mangrove sediments have wide ecological significance and are actively involved in nutrient recycling, decomposition of litter and degradation of recalcitrant substances. The present study focused on comparing the abundance, diversity and composition of fungal community in the sediments of two selected mangrove ecosystems o...

... assigned genera of fungus were identified from the sediments in which genus Talaromyces dominated in both the samples (58.9% EKM and 57.4% KAN) (Fig. 4). The diversity heat map was drawn at the genus level and it gives a comparative abundance data of fungus in the mangrove sediment (Fig. 5). Nigrospora was the next most dominant genus found in EKM (16%) and Alternaria in KAN sediments (25%). 16 genera were exclusive to EKM which included genus Rhodotorula, Acremonium, Malassezia, Wallemia while 5 were exclusive to KAN samples that included genus Epicoccum, Schizophyllum, Humicola, Pichia and Bipolaris. Our findings ...
