Brachysporium helgolandicum nov. sp., ein neuer Deuteromycet auf Treibborke im Meer

Abstract

The new fungus described differs from the known species of the genus by its large, 2- to 3-septate, broadly pyriform conidia, which are attached to the conidiophore by long, spirally coiled pedicels. With regard to the modern classification system of the Hyphomycetes, the fungus belongs to the series "Aleuriosporae" sensu Barron (1968). Within the genus Brachysporium (Sacc.)Mason et Hughes, B. helgolandicum is the first species reported from marine habitats. © 1973 Biologischen Anstalt Helgoland.
