Abstract

Fungi in water bodies play an important role in recycling of nutrients and they form the very basis of food chain and sustain aquatic and terrestrial life. Water borne conidial fungi grow in aquatic ecosystem located in water bodies. My work is on Lower Lake of Bhopal situated towards the eastern  end of upper lake and is almost fully surrounded by built areas.

During the tenure i.e. 2007 -2008, 1234 isolations were obtained which comprises of 36 genera and 78 species. These conidial fungi belongs to various orders of group Ascomycotina and Deuteromycotina. Members of order Moniliales were dominant over the rest of the order of conidial fungi reported from 4 different sites of Lower Lake.
