Abstract

Aquatic hyphomycetes, an important mitosporic fungal community, are involved in organic matter processing and energy flow in the lotic ecosystems worldwide. They have been studied widely in the past century and present on their morphology, taxonomy, phylogeny, anamorph-teleomorph connections, distribution, ecology, physiology, metabolites, and role in the food web. Owing to the community structure, the fascinating field of aquatic hyphomycetology attracted the attention of scientists throughout the world. The Indian subcontinent is of special significance owing to its unique geographical setup (tropical, subtropical, and temperate climatic conditions) with innumerable number of water bodies. The first report on aquatic hyphomycetes in India was in the year 1953 without the acquaintance that they are natives of lotic habitats. The real study in India was initiated five decades ago in a stream located in the northern region of Tamil Nadu followed by various studies on morphology, taxonomy, diversity, distribution, ecology, and detritus breakdown. Major studies have been carried out from the lotic habitats of Western Ghats and Himalayas. The current scenario in the Indian subcontinent reveals the growth of literature on aquatic hyphomycetes pertaining to basic aspects followed by their ecology, while applications are being initiated. This review encompasses historical perspectives, literature resource, habitats, methods of evaluation, diversity, distribution, ecology, and human interference with future perspectives.
