abstract = {Recent estimates suggest that there are as many as 10,000 marine fungal species, although the number of currently described species includes just over 500 species. Previous studies predominantly concerned the diversity of marine fungi on various substrata in Europe, north American and Asia, while little research exists on process(es) leading to the current distribution of marine fungi. Therefore, this study was initiated to examine the genetic structure of isolates collected at various geographical locations of a cosmopolitan aquatic fungus, Lignincola laevis and thus its phylogeography. The internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and partial 28S region of the rRNA gene clusters and the partial MCM7 protein gene were sequenced and analysed using maximum parsimony and Bayesian likelihood methods. Three distinct lineages were present in the sampled L. laevis isolates with high mean pairwise distance between the groups. No geographical assemblages could be identified in the phylogeny. These results suggest that Lignincola laevis is a species complex and may contain a group of closely related species with subtle morphological differences including dimension of asci and ascospores.}
