Belozerskaya T.A. Fungal hydrophobins: structure and function. // Mycol. and phytopat. No. 35, Vol. 1, 2001. P.3-12.
Abstract
The ability to synthesize hydrophobins appears to be a unique property of a fungal organism. These proteins appear on 2-3rd day of growth. They are secreted through the hyphal apex into the medium. Formation of a amphipathic film on the surface of conidiospores, aerial hyphae and fruit bodies is the distinctive property of this cystein-rich proteins containing up to 100-25 amino acid residues but the sequence homology between them appears to be rather small. Some hydrophobins have been shpwn to be involved in adherence phenomena. Their ecological significance apparently implicates dissemination of spores, pathogenesis and symbiosis. The property of hydrophobins to coat the surface with a very thin layer (about 10 nm) that dramatically changes the nature of this surface promises the use of these proteins in biotechnology.

Abstract
В результате проводившихся в 1998-1999 гг. в провинциях Ризе и Трабазон (Турция) исследований на деревьях и кустарниках выявлено 76 видов целомицетов. К порядку Melanconiales относятся 36 видов из 17 родов. Они обнаружены на 28 видах из 24 родов лесных деревьев и кустарников. Наиболее многочисленными и широко распространенными здесь были виды родов Cylindrosporium (7) и Pestalotiopsis (5). Остальные роды представлены 1-3 видами. Число выявленных сферопсидальных грибов лишь немногим больше √ 40 видов из 9 родов. Больше всего найдено видов родов Ascochyta (5), Phyllosticta (21) и Septoria (6), остальные роды представлены 1, реже 2-3 видами в каждом.

Data on occurence of rare dematiaceous hyphomycete Ojibwaya perpulchra on Juniperus communis in Byelorussia is given. It is the third record (beside Canada and Malawi) in the world.
Fomina E.A. Ectomycorrhizal fungi in spruce forests of Karelian Isthmus (Leningrad region). I. Species diversity.// Mycol. and phytopat. No. 35, Vol. 1, 2001. P.43-52.
Abstract
Species diversity of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in undisturbed old-growth spruce forests of Karelian Isthmus (middle taiga, Leningrad region) were investigated. 120 species and intraspecific taxa of ECM basidiomycetes were registered on the six permanent plots, se in different types of spruce forests. Majority of the species diversity is composed by Cortinarius, Russula, and Lactarius species. Poorest diversity and lowest rate of fruit bodies formation were detected in bog moss spruce forest, while the highest was typical for bilberry spruce associations. Each plot is characterised by specific complex of dominant (in terms of sporocarp quantity) species. Diversity of dominating species is of high similarity for the plots with resembling soil and phytocenoses features.

Abstract
The new ascomycete of genus Durandiella Seaver was found out. The fungus causes a sub-top damage of Abies sibirica Ledeb. crowns in a number of areas of Central Siberia. The diagnosis of the new fungus and the description of disease are given.

Abstract
More than Trichoderma isolates were obtained from soil in various forests in Middle Siberia. Four species Trichoderma anamorph Hypocrea gelatinosa, T.viride, T.virens, and T.longibrachiatum were identified at the first stage following descriptions of Bissett. Four isolates were selected for disease suppressiveness test. Isolates were tested for antibiotic activity against Fusarium fungi, as major pathogens of spruce and pine seedlings. All tested Trichoderma isolates showed high or moderate activity against Fusarium species. This supported the conclusion that selected strains have a potential to be used for biocontrol of coniferous seedlings pathogens.

Abstract
Pleurotus djamor morphology, growth, fruit body production, and specific environmental demands were studied, and as a result the species is recommended for summer farming. Anti-microbial activity of P.djamor, P.ostreatus, and P.pulmonarius was tested by means of a set of selected micro-organisms. The test demonstrated generic specificity of observed activity.
