title: First Report of Mortierella alpina (Mortierellaceae, Zygomycota) Isolated from Crop Field Soil in Korea.
abstract: A new recorded species of Mortierella was recovered during the investigation of fungal communities in soil samples collected from different locations of Gangwon-do, Korea. The species was identified and described as Mortierella alpina on the basis of phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacer sequences and morphological characteristics. This species has not been officially reported from Korea thus far.
