Abstract
Acinetospora filamentosa and Microspongium stilophorae are reported as
new records from South Korea based on morphological and molecular analyses. A.
filamentosa is mainly characterized by having the sparsely branched erect filaments,
the scattered meristematic zones, forming crampons, plurilocular sporangia on both
prostrate filaments and lower part of erect filaments, and spherical to oval unilocular
sporangia formed either sessile or with a pedicel. M. stilophorae is an epiphytic thalli
mostly on Stilophora sp. It is characterized by prostrate filaments with irregular cells,
short erect filaments with short ramuli, phaeophycean hairs, uniseriate plurilocular
sporangia on the terminal part of erect filament. Our molecular analyses of rbcL and
cox1 genes reveals that A. filamentosa and M. stilophorae are nested within the clades of
Acinetospora and Microspongium, respectively.
