Checklist of Algerian fungi – Part 1: Protozoan Fungal Analogues (Myxomycetes)
Journal Title: Microbial Biosystems Journal - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Informations on Algerian mycobiota are scattered through a wide array of journals, books, dissertations and the lack of comprehensive catalogs or checklists makes difficult to apprehend it diversity. By screening all available bibliographic sources and herbaria catalogues it was possible to delineate 97 species belonging to 31 genera and from which 9 species have not been yet reported in the literature for Algeria. This checklist is the first comprehensive species list fully dedicated to Algerian Protozoan Fungal Analogues.
