Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation The fungus forms immersed leaf ascomata, cylindrical asci with an iodine-staining apical ring, and septate oblanceolate ascospores.
- Observation L. amphibia infects senescent leaves on trees and inhabits intertidal fallen leaves.
- Association L. amphibia occurs most frequently late in mangrove leaf decomposition.
- Observation Optimal fungal hyphal growth in culture occurred at 20 ppt salinity and 30°C.
- Observation Optimal fungal sexual reproduction occurred at 10 ppt salinity and 25°C.
- Intervention effect Fresh water depressed fungal growth.
- Mechanism The authors interpret the fungus as adapted to osmotic leaf conditions and subtropical brackish mangrove environments.
