Morchella spp. (true morels) are precious edible mushrooms consumed around the world, with a delicious taste, rich nutritional value, and unique healthcare effects. Various fungi and bacteria have been reported to colonize the ascocarps of Morchella, damaging their fruiting bodies and leading to serious economic losses in cultivation. The species identification of these colonizing organisms is crucial for understanding their colonization mechanisms on morels. Slime molds, which have characteristics of both fungi and animals, can occasionally colonize crops and edible fungi. However, there have been no reports of dictyostelid cellular slime molds (dictyostelids) colonizing plants and fungi to date. In this study, we discovered that dictyostelids colonized the surface of one wild ascoma of Morchella in the forest of Chongqing, China, with the tissues being black and rotten. Macro- and micro-morphological observations, along with molecular phylogenetic analyses, identified the specimens investigated in this study as Dictyostelium implicatum and Morchella sp. Mel-21. The results provide new knowledge of dictyostelid colonization on organisms and contribute to the diversity of species colonizing true morels. Moreover, this is also the first report of dictyostelids distributed in Chongqing, China. This study enhances our insights into the life history and potential ecological significance of dictyostelids and updates their distribution area in China. Further research will be conducted to uncover the mechanisms behind the colonization observed in this study.
通过18S rRNA基因V4可变区对西藏廓琼岗日冰川流域3种不同类型冰湖的表层和底层水体进行测序分析，研究冰湖水体真核浮游植物多样性.冰湖中用于注释的序列数碱基占比>97%，表明测得的数据准确可靠.分析结果表明：1）冰湖浮游植物以绿藻门和隐藻门为优势类群，绝对优势种为绿藻门的Chlamydomonadaceae＿sp.(0.127)、Chlorophyta(0.112);2）廓琼岗日冰湖水体整体呈碱性，浊度高且范围广，水温偏低，营养盐和叶绿素a水平偏低，湖泊整体处于贫营养状态；3）同一冰湖不同点位和不同类型冰湖的浮游植物优势种和群落具有显著差异，冰川融水补给源和太阳辐射的空间差异可能是导致这种差异的重要因素；4）冰湖浮游植物优势种和群落与青藏高原大型湖泊具有较大差异，较国外高寒小型湖泊具有一定的相似性，表明浮游植物的整体分布及优势种变化在高寒山区小型湖泊水体变化较为一致.研究为调查和认识高海拔冰湖浮游植物群落结构和分布特征提供方法探索和基础信息，为高海拔冰湖水生态环境研究和保护提供依据.
