Occurrence and Distribution of Dictyostelid Cellular Slime Molds in Subalpine-Alpine Zone of Mt. Fuji

A study of occurrence and distribution of cellular slime molds (CSM) in Mt. Fuji was carried out. Soil samples were collected from 3 stations, located in subalpine-alpine zone. Dictyostelium mucoroides complex, D. purpureum, Polysphondylium violaceum and P. pallidum were isolated. Number of species,...

Summary:A study of occurrence and distribution of cellular slime molds (CSM) in Mt. Fuji was carried out. Soil samples were collected from 3 stations, located in subalpine-alpine zone. Dictyostelium mucoroides complex, D. purpureum, Polysphondylium violaceum and P. pallidum were isolated. Number of species, absolute density and sample frequency of CSM decreased with increasing elevation. Correlation between the environmental conditions and occurrence of CSM was also discussed.
