TI  - Diversity and Distribution of Microfungi in Tuz Lake, Turkey
AB  - The aim of this study is to help illuminate the microfungus diversity in Tuz Lake using traditional and molecular diagnostic data and to correlate it with population dynamics. Microfungi were isolated from a total of 24 samples taken from three stations seasonally by membrane filtration method using two types of media. When using DRBC medium, colony counts were 68 CFU / 100 ml in saltpan water and 86 CFU / ml in lake water. On the DRBC17 medium, the number of colonies in both types of water samples was found to be the same 21 CFU / 100 ml. While 52 different species belonging to 19 genera have been isolated on DRBC medium, 30 different species belonging to 11 genera were detected on DRBC17. In total, 54 different species belonging to 21 genera were isolated. According to the variety of species, the leading genera are Penicillium (15 spp), Aspergillus (8 spp), Alternaria (8 spp), Cladosporium (5 spp), Arthrinium (2 spp). This study showed that Tuz Lake mycobiota has a high diversity and most of the isolated species are adapted to saline environments.
