Abstract

Artificial foam traps conidia of rare species in rich communities of freshwater hyphomycetes as efficiently as it traps conidia in a community showing poor species composition with low conidial numbers. A large number of conidia, particularly the tetraradiate ones, are lost from the stream water as it passes through rapids and waterfalls. Addition of a detergent results in greater loss of conidia in the effluent water. The trapping of conidia in the foam concentrate and their loss while passing through the rapids and waterfalls is not related to conidial concentration. It may be influenced by water chemistry. Key words: artificial foam, conidia, Ingoldian fungi.
