In-vitro evaluation of synthetic dye decolourisation by filamentous ascomycetous fungi isolated from freshwater environments in Sri Lanka and development of a prototype for addressing environmental pollution from synthetic dye contamination Open
Mycoremediation emerges as an alternative strategy for decolourisation of synthetic dyes and is valued for its cost-effectiveness and environmentally friendly attributes. Five fungal strains, Aspergillus sp.1, Lasiodiplodia crassispora , L…

Checklist, typification details, and nomenclature status of ascomycetous fungi originally described in Sri Lanka Open
Despite being a biodiversity-rich country, Sri Lanka’s fungal diversity remains largely unexplored. In the 19th century, British mycologists conducted extensive research, leading to the identification of more than 1,800 fungal taxa, includ…

The Anti-microbial Potential of Lasiodiplodia Theobromae Inhabiting the Lichen Heterodermia sp. Available in Sri Lanka Open
Sri Lanka is well-known for its lichen biodiversity. Lichen is a symbiotic association between a fungal partner a photosynthetic partner. Lichen inhabiting fungi may reside in lichens without involving in symbiosis. Unique secondary metabo…

Current Insight into Culture-Dependent and Culture-Independent Methods in Discovering Ascomycetous Taxa Open
Culture techniques are vital in both traditional and modern fungal taxonomy. Establishing sexual–asexual links and synanamorphs, extracting DNA and secondary metabolites are mainly based on cultures. However, it is widely accepted that a l…
