| Sumario: | Aquatic hyphomycetes are anamorphic fungal microorganisms occurring in pristine lotic water bodies, which participate in the degradation of plant material facilitating the cycling of nutrients in the freshwater ecosystems, also being ecologically important because they are potential bioindicators of environmental quality, together with having a wide range of enzymes of biotechnological relevance. Investigations of these organisms are scarce in the Neotropical region, such as in the sub-region of Latin America including México, Central America and the Caribbean, where a total of 236 species have been registered, 109 Ingoldian, 24 aero aquatic and 103 transitional. Puerto Rico is the country with the highest number of reports (135; 74,8% Ingoldians), followed by Cuba (73; 52% transitional), coupled with the poor study (only two studies) of these as quality indicators, where their bioindicator role is demonstrated. Therefore, this review seeks to be the basis for promoting new research with this fungal group, in order to increase its registration, validating that the tropical zone is the one with the greatest biodiversity, together with the future establishment of biological indices of environmental quality with these fungi, for ecologically sustainable use. |
