Title Chytridium polysiphoniae - A fungal pathogen on the red alga Centroceras clavulatum (C. agardh) Montagne, from Goa
 
Creator Raghukumar, Chandralata
 
Description 42-44
Centroceras clavulatum collected from rocky shores was found to harbour an epiphytic fungus identified as Chytridium polysiphoniae. Maximum infection of the host alga occurred during June-July 1984. Under laboratory conditions optimum infection occurred at 25 x 10 -3 salinity and 30 ᵒC temperature. The infection was restricted to one locality (Anjuna), although the host alga was found at other sites in Goa. C. polysiphoniae could not infect killed host alga and it could not be cultured on artificial media, suggesting its obligate parasitic nature. The fungus and its occurrence on C. clavulatum are reported for the fist time from India.
