Abstract: The new genus Morinagamyces is introduced herein to accommodate the fungus Apiosordaria vermicularis as inferred from a phylogenetic study based on sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), the nuclear rDNA large subunit (LSU), and partial fragments of ribosomal polymerase II subunit 2 (rpb2) and β-tubulin (tub2) genes. Morinagamyces vermicularis was analyzed for the production of secondary metabolites, resulting in the isolation of a new depsipeptide named morinagadepsin (1), and the already known chaetone B (3). While the planar structure of 1 was elucidated by extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR analysis and high-resolution mass spectrometry, the absolute configuration of the building blocks Ala, Val, and Leu was determined as -L by Marfey’s method. The configuration of the 3-hydroxy-2-methyldecanyl unit was assigned as 22R,23R by Citation: Harms, K.; Surup, F.; Stadler, M.; Stchigel, A.M.; J-based configuration analysis and Mosher’s method after partial hydrolysis of the morinagadepsin Marin-Felix, Y.

The discovery of its teleomorph is documented here based on perithecial ascomata associated with fertile conidiophores of S. macrocarpa on a specimen collected in the Czech Republic; an identical anamorph developed from ascospores isolated in axenic culture. The teleomorph is morphologically similar to species of the genera Carpoligna and Chaetosphaeria, especially in its nonstromatic perithecia, hyaline, cylindrical to fusiform ascospores, unitunicate asci with a distinct apical annulus, and tapering paraphyses. Identical perithecia were later observed on a herbarium specimen of S. macrocarpa originating in New Zealand. Sterigmatobotrys includes two species, S. macrocarpa, a taxonomic synonym of the type species, S. elata, and S. uniseptata. Because no teleomorph was described in the protologue of Sterigmatobotrys, we apply Article 59.7 of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. We epitypify (teleotypify) both Sterigmatobotrys elata and S. macrocarpa to give the genus holomorphic status, and the name S.

  • A Reinterpretation of the Pseudo-Bombardioid Ascomal Wall in Taxa in the Lasiosphaeriaceae
    ©Verlag Ferdinand Berger & Söhne Ges.m.b.H., Horn, Austria, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at A reinterpretation of the pseudo-bombardioid ascomal wall in taxa in the Lasiosphaeriaceae Andrew N. Miller1'* 1 Field Museum of Natural History, Botany Department, Chicago, Illinois 60605-2496, USA and University of Illinois at Chicago, Department of Biological Sciences, Chicago, Illinois 60607-7060, USA Miller, A. N. (2003). A reinterpretation of the pseudo-bombardioid ascomal wall in taxa in the Lasiosphaeriaceae. - Sydowia 55 (2): 267-273. A coriaceous pseudo-bombardioid ascomal wall containing a central layer composed of thick-walled, gelatinized cells has been described in nine species in the Lasiosphaeriaceae (Sordariales). Three different methods of sectioning asco- mata were employed to investigate the composition of this wall layer. Although this wall layer has previously been described as being composed of isodiametric cells, sections made using a freezing microtome revealed that it was actually com- posed of interwoven hyphae. Thus the term pseudo-bombardioid should be emen- ded to describe a non-stromatic ascomal wall containing a gelatinized layer com- posed of interwoven, thin-walled hyphae. Keywords: Ascomycetes, Arnium, Bombardia, Bombardioidea, Cercophora, Podospora, terminology. A unique type of coriaceous ascomal wall referred to as a pseudo-bombardioid wall was defined by Lundqvist (1972: 17) in his seminal work on Nordic Sordariaceae as "a multi-layered, non-stro- matic wall with a second pseudo-parenchymatous layer with very thick-walled, gelatinized cells". Lundqvist (1972: 17) distinguished it from the bombardioid wall, which he described as "a multi-layered wall with at least two outer, stromatic layers, the second of which is fibrous and cartilaginous".

Mycosphere 6(2), 201–215, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/6/2/10 Abstract Coprophilous species of Podospora reported from Brazil are discussed. Thirteen species are recorded for the first time in Northeastern Brazil (Pernambuco) on herbivore dung. Podospora appendiculata, P. australis, P. decipiens, P. globosa and P. pleiospora are reported for the first time in Brazil, while P. ostlingospora and P. prethopodalis are reported for the first time from South America. Descriptions, figures and a comparative table are provided, along with an identification key to all known species of the genus in Brazil. Key words – Ascomycota – coprophilous fungi – taxonomy Introduction Podospora Ces. is one of the most common coprophilous ascomycetes genera worldwide, rarely absent in any survey of fungi on herbivore dung (Doveri, 2008). It is characterized by dark coloured, non-stromatic perithecia, with coriaceous or pseudobombardioid peridium, vestiture varying from glabrous to tomentose, unitunicate, non-amyloid, 4- to multispored asci usually lacking an apical ring and transversely uniseptate two-celled ascospores, delimitating a head cell and a hyaline pedicel, frequently equipped with distinctly shaped gelatinous caudae (Lundqvist, 1972).

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 1923. 63 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0921-7. Genomic diversity is shaped by a myriad of forces acting in different directions. Some genes work in concert with the interests of the organism, often shaped by natural selection, while others follow their own interests. The latter genes are considered “selfish”, behaving either neutrally to the host, or causing it harm. In this thesis, I focused on genes that have substantial fitness effects on the fungus Podospora anserina and relatives, but whose effects are very contrasting. In Papers I and II, I explored the evolution of a particular type of selfish genetic elements that cause meiotic drive. Meiotic drivers manipulate the outcome of meiosis to achieve overrepresentation in the progeny, thus increasing their likelihood of invading and propagating in a population. In P. anserina there are multiple meiotic drivers but their genetic basis was previously unknown.

  • The Genus Fimetariella
    The genus Fimetariella John C. Krug Abstract: The taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of the fungal genus Fimetariella (Ascomycotina, Lasiosphaeriaceae) are discussed. A revised generic description and key are presented. Descriptions and illustrations are provided for all taxa. Fimetanella dunarum n.comb. and Fimetanella apotoma, Fimetanella brachycaulina, Fimetanella dolichopoda, Fimetanella macromischa, Fimetanella microspema, and Fimetanella tetraspora n.spp. are proposed. A phialidic anamorph resembling Cladorrhinum is reported for E microsperma. The ascospores of the type species Fimetariella rabenhorstii are considered to possess two terminal germ pores, one large pore and one very small pore, along with several small, apparently nonfunctional pores.

Because they show no clear Park, Phaholyothin Road, Khlong 1, Khlong Luang, Pathumthani 12120, Thailand, and Department of relationship with any named order we erect a new Plant Pathology, Faculty of Agriculture, Kasetsart order Savoryellales in the subclass Hypocreomyceti- University, 50 Phaholyothin Road, Chatuchak, dae, Sordariomycetes. The genera Savoryella and Bangkok 10900, Thailand Ascothailandia are monophyletic, while the position Charuwan Chuaseeharonnachai of Ascotaiwania is unresolved. All three genera are Satinee Suetrong phylogenetically related and form a distinct clade Veera Sri-indrasutdhi similar to the unclassified group of marine ascomy- Somsak Sivichai cetes comprising the genera Swampomyces, Torpedos- E.B.

Five genera of microfungi are treated in this study, with new species introduced fungal systematics in Arthrographis, Melnikomyces, and Verruconis. The genus Thysanorea is emended and two new species and nine ITS combinations are proposed.Kramasamuha sibika, the type species of the genus, is provided with DNA sequence data LSU for first time and shown to be a member ofHelminthosphaeriaceae (Sordariomycetes). Aureoconidiella is introduced new taxa as a new genus representing a new lineage in the Dothideomycetes. Corresponding editor: U. Braun Editor-in-Chief EffectivelyProf. dr P.W.
