New Species of Ascomycetes from Two Hypersaline Endorheic Lagoon Complexes in Zaragoza Province (Aragon Community, Spain).

ABSTRACT: Although certain hypersaline endorheic lagoons in Spain have been investigated to evaluate the composition, spatial structure, and ecological roles of their macro- and microbiota, the fungi inhabiting these niches remain largely unexplored. In this study, we isolated several microfungi from the Salada Grande de Chiprana and La Playa lagoons, located in the Saladas de Chiprana (Directed Natural Reserve and Ramsar Wetland) and the Saladas de Sástago-Bujaraloz (Ramsar Wetland), respectively. As a result of morphological characterization and phylogenetic analysis using four informative molecular markers, we report the discovery of two new species of the genus Montagnula (M.), M. globospora and M. terricola, as well as one new species of <
