Outline of Final Research Achievements

Inventory researches on "Zygomycota" were carried out at temperate to tropical regions of Japan and adjacent areas in Southeast Asia. Dynamic evolutionary process, especially focused on the“terrestrialization” of the kingdom Fungi was discussed based on the investigations on newly obtained following fungal materials; 1) taxa showing interaction with animals (new life style of Kickxellomycotina living both inside and outside of guts of arthropods hosts), 2) taxa showing interaction with plants (taxonomic and phylogenetic studies on Endogonales of Mucoromycotina indicating the origin of mycorrhizae and some possible interaction with bacteria), 3) taxa for considering the loss of flagella (phylogenetic and cytological investigations on Chytridiomycota as an ancestral taxon of Zygomycota, and some Entomophthoromycotina).
