Abstract
An aquatic hyphomycete, Tetracladium nainitalense sp. nov., isolated as a root endophyte from riparian plants from Nainital, Kumaun Himalaya, India, is illustrated and described. The new species is characterized by laterally applanate conidia appearing lobate, with typically four rounded apices and lacking filiform, acicular or subulate elements. An updated key to the species of Tetracladium is provided.
The authors thank Drs E. Descals, Spain, and L. Marvanova, Czechoslovakia, for confirming the novelty of the new species, providing valuable suggestions and for preparing the Latin diagnosis. Financial support from DST, New Delhi, is acknowledged. Authors also thank ATCC (USA), CABI, Surrey, (UK) and the Head of Department of Botany, Kumaun University, Nainital, for providing lab facilities.
