dc.description.abstractMolecular diversity surveys of marine fungi have demonstrated that the species richness known to date is just the tip of the iceberg and that there is a large exent of unknown fungal diversity in marine habitats. Reports of novel fungal lineages at higher taxonomic levels are documented from a large nubmer of marine habitats, including the various marine oxygen-deficient environments (ODEs). In this chapter, we have reanalyzed the environmental fungal sequences obtained from the molecular diversity survey in 14 different sites to obtain a comprehensive picture of fungal diversity in these marine habitats. The phylogenetic analysis of the fungal environmental sequences from various ODEs have grouped these sequences into seven distinct clades (Clade 1-7) clustering with well-known fungal taxa. Apart from this, four environmental clades (EnvClade A, B, C, and D) with exclusive environmental sequences were also identified. This has provided information on the positioning of the environmental sequences at different taxonomic levels within the major fungal phylums. The taxonomic distribution of these environmental fungal sequences into clusters and clades has also shown that they are not restricted by geographical boundaries. The distribution pattern together with the reports on the respiratory abilities of fungi under reduced oxygen conditions shows that they are highly adaptive and may have a huge ecological role in these oxygen deficient habitats.
