Abstract

A rare basidiomycete Quambalaria cyanescens, documented so far on various substrates worldwide, was isolated from the skin of edible frog (Pelophylax esculentus) captured in South Banat. The fungal identification was based on sequencing of ITS region and BLAST analyses. The presence of Q. cyanescens in the amphibian skin microbiome is not only the first finding of this fungus in Serbia but also the recording of new ecological habitat for this rare species of micromycetes. Phylogenetic analyses revealed the high similarity of isolate in this study with foliar pathogens of Eucalyptus in Australia.
