A strong response to atmospheric [CO.sub.2] concentration may relate to a
saprobic (growing on dead plant tissues) lifestyle.

kiliense is primarily a

It may be noted that physicochemical environment of Jaboque is restrictive for many AMI that require water with less organic matter and nutrients; thus, those groups that thrive have adapted to the high
saprobic level.
Currently the array of indices used include the Specific Polluosensitivity Index (SPI) [2], the Saprobity Index (SI) [35], the Diatom Assemblage Index for organic pollution (DAIpo) [47], Generic Diatom Index (GDI) [33], the European Economic Community index (EEC) [3], the Trophic Index of van Dam [44], the Trophic Diatom Index (TDI) [13], the
Saprobic Index of Rott [32] and the standardized Biological Diatom Index (BDI) [23].
A few of them are symbiotic and remaining are
saprobic. Its basidiomes are typically solitary, occasionally subcaespitose, filiform to clavate, ligulate or turbinate, in some species truncate and sterile at the expanded apex without marginal growth, light yellow or light orchraceous, brown, rufescent or ferruginous, flesh rather firm, not brittle, spongy in large fruitbodies (Methven, 1990).
2005), plausible arguments can be made for the likelihood of increased fungal biomass (and resulting sporulation) under climate change scenarios that would include increases in both mycorrhizal fungi to facilitate enhanced plant growth and
saprobic fungi to degrade the increased plant biomass generated.
The ubiquitous and
saprobic characteristics of the offending taxon (Aspergillus fumigatus), its reduction, or in some instances elimination, were difficult.
