    Production and regeneration of protoplasts from orchid Mycorrhizal Fungi Epulorhiza repens and Ceratorhiza sp.
    (Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2010-01) Coelho, Irene da Silva; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de; Costa, Maurício Dutra; Kasuya, Maria Catarina Megumi; Araújo, Elza Fernandes de
    The aim of this work was to study the standardization of conditions to obtain and regenerate Epulorhiza repens and Ceratorhiza sp. protoplasts. For E. repens, the largest number of protoplasts (8.0 × 106 protoplasts/mL) was obtained in 0.6 M KCl, using 15 mg/mL of Lysing Enzymes, and 2-day-old fungal mycelium. When 0.5 M sucrose was used as osmotic stabilizer, the highest frequency of regeneration was achieved (8.5 %); 80.0 % of protoplasts were nucleated, and 20.0 % anucleated. For Ceratorhiza sp., the largest number of protoplasts (4.0 × 107 protoplasts/mL) was achieved in 0.6 M NaCl, when 15 mg/mL of Lysing Enzymes and 15mg/mL of Glucanex, with 2-day-old fungal mycelium were used. The highest frequency of regeneration was 6.7 % using 0.5 M sucrose as osmotic stabilizer; 88.8 % of protoplasts were nucleated, and 11.2 % anucleated.

    Morphological and molecular characterization of mycorrhizal fungi isolated from neotropical orchids in Brazil
    (Canadian Journal of Botany, 2005-01) Pereira, Olinto Liparini; Kasuya, Maria Catarina Megumi; Borges, Arnaldo Chaer; Araújo, Elza Fernandes de
    To initiate a conservation program of the Orchidaceae from the Brazilian Atlantic rain forest with the purpose of ex situ conservation or reintroduction in the State of Minas Gerais, seven mycorrhizal Rhizoctonia-like fungal strains were isolated from roots of seven neotropical orchid species from three different Atlantic rain forest fragments. Taxonomic studies revealed that the isolates belong to the genera Ceratorhiza and Epulorhiza. The Epulorhiza isolates were identified as Epulorhiza repens (N. Bernard) R.T. Moore and Epulorhiza epiphytica Pereira, Rollemberg et Kasuya. RAPD analysis indicated higher polymorphism between Epulorhiza epiphytica and Epulorhiza repens than found in the PCR RFLP analysis. RAPD and morphological analyses indicated a degree of relatedness among the Ceratorhiza isolates obtained from the roots of different Oncidium species. A combination of morphological and molecular characterizations permitted integration of fungal strain identification with genetic relatedness among the isolates, thus allowing some inferences to be made on specificity of these endosymbionts under field conditions.Key words: biodiversity, Ceratorhiza, Epulorhiza, orchid mycorrhiza, Rhizoctonia-like, symbiosis, specificity.
