Nineteen species of the genus Octavius Fauvel, 1873 from Maloti-Drakensberg and Golden Gate National Parks, South Africa were recognised. Thirteen species are described as new: Octavius aureaportalis Janák, sp. nov., O. clarkei Janák, sp. nov., O. flagellatus Janák, sp. nov., O. gracilis Janák, sp. nov., O. gxaligengwanus Janák, sp. nov., O. kambergensis Janák, sp. nov., O. lothenicus Janák, sp. nov., O. monachicucullus Janák, sp. nov., O. penicullatus Janák, sp. nov., O. regius Janák, sp. nov., O. squamatus Janák, sp. nov., O. subulatus Janák, sp. nov. and O. undulatus Janák, sp. nov., distribution records of additional six species of Octavius are presented and all species are illustrated.

Lignocellulolytic enzyme activities of selective fungi Daedalea flavida MTCC 145 (DF-2), Phlebia radiata MTCC 2791 (PR), and non-selective fungus Flavodon flavus MTCC 168 (FF) were studied for pretreatment of cotton stalks. Simultaneous productions of high LiP and laccase activities by DF-2 during early phase of growth were effective for lignin degradation 27.83 ± 1.

A large amount of cotton stalk waste biomass with high cellulose content are incinerated by the farmers causing air pollution. The high cellulose content of cotton stalks can be converted to fermentable sugars by fungal delignification pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass and enzymatic saccharification. The effect of particle size, moisture content, and media supplements was studied for delignification of cotton stalks by Daedalea flavida MTCC 145 (DF-2) in solid-state fermentation.
