| Research Abstract |
We investigated the ecology of fungi in lakes and their roles in decomposing organic matters. In Lake Inba, we found diverse fungi, among which saprotrophic chytrids were dominant. Saprotrophic chytrids could consume refractory organic matters such as pollen. Chytrids decomposing pollen are found to be important foods for zooplankton. Mathematical models revealed that chytrids affected elemental cycling and trophic transfer efficiency.
