| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aiming to isolate anaerobic or semi anaerobic fungi from fresh water and brackish water environments, the two-step low-oxygen isolation method and the anaerobic baiting method were applied. Culture test under different O2 conditions revealed many of the isolates were aerobic species, but a few were anaerobic or semi anaerobic. They also include the wide-range fungi, which grow equally under the anaerobic, semi anaerobic and aerobic conditions. The latter fungi are probably adapted to lower oxygen environments. In the aquatic fungi, Sigmoidea sp., etc. from freshwater habitats and Lulwoana spp. from the brackish habitat, which were found high or high-mid oxygen fungi, were isolated. Because some of these fungi are undescribed species, the new isolation methods under low oxygen might be effective for exploring unknown group of fungi.
