Lindsay Shepherd Olive

American botanist and mycologist (1917-1988).

Lindsay Shepherd Olive (April 30, 1917 – October 19, 1988) was an American mycologist known for his broad contributions to fungal taxonomy, cytogenetics, genetics, and slime mold biology. Born in South Carolina, Olive was educated at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1942. Throughout his academic career, he held positions at several institutions, notably Louisiana State University, Columbia University, and again at Chapel Hill. Olive's research included pioneering genetic studies with the fungus Sordaria fimicola and extensive work on cellular slime

Myxogastrea (Plasmodial Slime Molds) L.S. Olive 1970
fungi subclass
Myxogastria/Myxogastrea (myxogastrids, ICZN) or Myxomycetes (ICN) is a class of slime moulds that contains 5 orders, 14 families, 62 genera, and 888 species. They are colloquially known as the plasmodial or acellular slime moulds. All Myxogastria species pass through several very different morphologic phases, such as microscopic individual cells, slimy amorphous organisms visible with the naked eye, and conspicuously shaped fruit bodies. Although they are monocellular, in extreme cases they can be up to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) across and weigh up to 20 kilograms (44 lb). The class Myxogastria is
Ascosphaera apis (Chalkbrood) (Maaßen ex Claussen) L.S. Olive & Spiltoir 1955
fungi species in the ascosphaeraceae family
Ascosphaera apis is a species of fungus belonging to the family Ascosphaeraceae. It was one of the first entomopathogen genomes to be sequenced. It has a cosmopolitan distribution. It causes the chalkbrood diseases in bees, which rarely kills infected colonies but can weaken them and lead to reduced honey yields and susceptibility to other pests and diseases.
Ascosphaera L.S. Olive & Spiltoir 1955
fungi genus in the ascosphaeraceae family
Ascosphaera is a genus of fungi in the family Ascosphaeraceae. It was described in 1955 by mycologists Charles F. Spiltoir and Lindsay S. Olive. Members of the genus are insect pathogens. The type species, A. apis, causes chalkbrood disease in honey bees. The reproductive ascospores of the fungus are produced within a unique structure, the spore cyst, or sporocyst.
Filobasidiaceae L.S. Olive 1968
fungi family in the order filobasidiales
The Filobasidiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Filobasidiales. Most species are yeasts, but some form gelatinous fruit bodies that are parasitic on other fungi, including lichens. The family currently contains five genera.
Filobasidium L.S. Olive 1968
fungi genus in the filobasidiaceae family
Filobasidium is a genus of fungi in the family Filobasidiaceae. Most species are only known from their yeast states, but some produce hyphae with haustorial cells, indicating that they are parasites of other fungi. Basidia are tubular with terminal, sessile basidiospores. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are not formed. Filobasidium uniguttulatum (formerly Cryptococcus uniguttulatus) is, rarely, a human pathogen in its yeast state, causing meningitis. Filobasidium floriforme may be of interest in biotechnological applications. It shows an ability to produce lipases which could be used in biofuel
Dicellomyces L.S. Olive 1945
fungi genus in the brachybasidiaceae family
Dicellomyces is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Brachybasidiaceae. The species of this genus are found in Europe, Japan and Northern America. Species: Dicellomyces calami Berndt & N.D.Sharma Dicellomyces gloeosporus L.S.Olive Dicellomyces scirpi Raitv.
