Abstract

Coniochaeta fodinicola is an acidophilic fungus which has been isolated only several times from extremely acidic environments. In this study, Coniochaeta fodinicola was isolated from a sulphurous spring with slightly acidic, nearly neutral pH water (pH = 6.8) in Poland. The identification of this fungus was conducted based on sequencing and phyloge- netic analyses of ITS and LSU rDNA regions. Detailed morphological characteristics were provided for the isolated strain. The finding of C. fodinicola in a slightly acidic environment indicates that the species may occur in a broader range of conditions than previously known.
