臺灣產卵孢球托黴（毛黴菌目）之形態觀察

Morphological Study of Gongronella Butleri (Mucorales) from Taiwan

1988年由臺灣北部與中部土壤中分離到一種毛黴菌目的卵孢球托黴Gongronella butlerr (Lendner) PeyroneI & Dal Vesco，以光學及掃描式電子顯微鏡觀察其形態特徵，並證明本菌接合胞子內壁（endospore）是屬於光滑型。

From a study of Mucoraceous fungi during 1988, Gongronella butleri (Lendner) Peyronel & Dal Vesco was isolated from many forest soil samples over this island. The genus Gongronella is closely related to Absidia because both possess an apophysis beneath the sporangium. However it differs from Absidia in having more distinct, swollen to oval-shaped apophysis and reduced columella (Zycha, 1969). According to Hesseltine C. W. & J. J. Ellis (1964), there are only two species in this genu: Gongronella butleri and Gongronella lacrispora Hesseltine & Ellis. The former species is different from the latter in having oval sporangiospores and sporangia borne erect. G. butleri has been isolated frequently during the course of study. Although this species is first reported from Taiwan, we thought it is widely distributed throughout this island. Pure culture was made and morphological characters were observed under light and scanning electron microscope.
