Abstract Mucormycosis (MCM) is a life-threatening infection that carries high mortality rates with devastating disease symptoms and diverse clinical manifestations. This article briefly explains clinical manifestations and risk factors and focuses on putative virulence traits associated with mucormycosis, mainly in the group of diabetic ketoacidotic patients, immunocompromised patients. The diagnosis requires the combination of various clinical data and the isolation in culture of the fungus from clinical samples. Treatment of mucormycosis requires a rapid diagnosis, correction of predisposing factors, surgical resection, debridement and

Stajich7 · Gregory Bonito1,3 Received: 17 February 2020 / Accepted: 25 July 2020 © MUSHROOM RESEARCH FOUNDATION 2020 Abstract Early eforts to classify Mortierellaceae were based on macro- and micromorphology, but sequencing and phylogenetic studies with ribosomal DNA (rDNA) markers have demonstrated conficting taxonomic groupings and polyphyletic genera. Although some taxonomic confusion in the family has been clarifed, rDNA data alone is unable to resolve higher level phylogenetic relationships within Mortierellaceae. In this study, we applied two parallel approaches to resolve the Mortierel- laceae phylogeny: low coverage genome (LCG) sequencing and high-throughput, multiplexed targeted amplicon sequenc- ing to generate sequence data for multi-gene phylogenetics. We then combined our datasets to provide a well-supported genome-based phylogeny having broad sampling depth from the amplicon dataset. Resolving the Mortierellaceae phylogeny into monophyletic genera resulted in 13 genera, 7 of which are newly proposed. Low-coverage genome sequencing proved to be a relatively cost-efective means of generating a high-confdence phylogeny.

Hoffmann1,2, J. Pawłowska3, G. Walther1,2,4, M. Wrzosek3, G.S. de Hoog4, G.L. Benny5*, P.M. Kirk6*, K. Voigt1,2* Key words Abstract The Mucorales (Mucoromycotina) are one of the most ancient groups of fungi comprising ubiquitous, mostly saprotrophic organisms. The first comprehensive molecular studies 11 yr ago revealed the traditional Mucorales classification scheme, mainly based on morphology, as highly artificial. Since then only single clades have been families investigated in detail but a robust classification of the higher levels based on DNA data has not been published phylogeny yet. Therefore we provide a classification based on a phylogenetic analysis of four molecular markers including the large and the small subunit of the ribosomal DNA, the partial actin gene and the partial gene for the translation elongation factor 1-alpha. The dataset comprises 201 isolates in 103 species and represents about one half of the currently accepted species in this order. Previous family concepts are reviewed and the family structure inferred from the multilocus phylogeny is introduced and discussed. Main differences between the current classification and preceding concepts affects the existing families Lichtheimiaceae and Cunninghamellaceae, as well as the genera Backusella and Lentamyces which recently obtained the status of families along with the Rhizopodaceae comprising Rhizopus, Sporodiniella and Syzygites. Compensatory base change analyses in the Lichtheimiaceae confirmed the lower level classification of Lichtheimia and Rhizomucor while genera such as Circinella or Syncephalastrum completely lacked compensatory base changes.

In the present study, 90 type and reference strains were used to infer a comprehensive phylogeny of Mortierellales from the sequence data of the complete ITS region and the LSU and SSU genes with a special attention to the monophyly of the genus Mortierella. Out of 15 alternative partitioning strategies compared on the basis of Bayes factors, the one with the highest number of partitions was found optimal (with mixture models yielding the best likelihood and tree length values), implying a higher complexity of evolutionary patterns in the ribosomal genes than generally recognized. Modeling the ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2, loci separately improved model fit significantly as compared to treating all as one and the same partition.

  • Mortierellaceae Phylogenomics and Tripartite Plant-Fungal-Bacterial Symbiosis of Mortierella Elongata
    MORTIERELLACEAE PHYLOGENOMICS AND TRIPARTITE PLANT-FUNGAL-BACTERIAL SYMBIOSIS OF MORTIERELLA ELONGATA By Natalie Vandepol A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics – Doctor of Philosophy 2020 ABSTRACT MORTIERELLACEAE PHYLOGENOMICS AND TRIPARTITE PLANT-FUNGAL-BACTERIAL SYMBIOSIS OF MORTIERELLA ELONGATA By Natalie Vandepol Microbial promotion of plant growth has great potential to improve agricultural yields and protect plants against pathogens and/or abiotic stresses. Soil fungi in Mortierellaceae are non- mycorrhizal plant associates that frequently harbor bacterial endosymbionts. My research focused on resolving the Mortierellaceae phylogeny and on characterizing the effect of Mortierella elongata and its bacterial symbionts on Arabidopsis thaliana growth and molecular functioning. Early efforts to classify Mortierellaceae were based on morphology, but phylogenetic studies with ribosomal DNA (rDNA) markers have demonstrated conflicting taxonomic groupings and polyphyletic genera. In this study, I applied two approaches: low coverage genome (LCG) sequencing and high-throughput targeted amplicon sequencing to generate multi-locus sequence data. I combined these datasets to generate a well-supported genome-based phylogeny having broad sampling depth from the amplicon dataset. Resolving the Mortierellaceae phylogeny into monophyletic groups led to the definition of 14 genera, 7 of which are newly proposed. Mortierellaceae are broadly considered plant associates, but the underlying mechanisms of association are not well understood. In this study, I focused on the symbiosis between M. elongata, its endobacteria, and A. thaliana. I measured aerial plant growth and seed production and used transcriptomics to characterize differentially expressed plant genes (DEGs) while varying fungal treatments. M. elongata was shown to promote aerial plant growth and affect seed production independent of endobacteria.

Fungal biodiversity in extreme environments and wood degradation potential A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences at The University of Waikato by Joel Allan Jurgens 2010 Abstract This doctoral thesis reports results from a multidisciplinary investigation of fungi from extreme locations, focusing on one of the driest and thermally broad regions of the world, the Taklimakan Desert, with comparisons to polar region deserts. Additionally, the capability of select fungal isolates to decay lignocellulosic substrates and produce degradative related enzymes at various temperatures was demonstrated. The Taklimakan Desert is located in the western portion of the People’s Republic of China, a region of extremes dominated by both limited precipitation, less than 25 mm of rain annually and tremendous temperature variation.

  • 1 Possible Drivers in Endophyte Diversity and Transmission in The
    Possible Drivers in Endophyte Diversity and Transmission in the Tomato Plant Bacterial Microbiome Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Ana María Vázquez, B.S. Graduate Program in Plant Pathology The Ohio State University 2020 Thesis Committee Dr. María Soledad Benítez-Ponce, Advisor Dr. Christine Sprunger Dr. Jonathan M. Jacobs 1 Copyrighted by Ana María Vázquez 2020 2 Abstract It has been documented that beneficial plant-associated bacteria have contributed to disease suppression, growth promotion, and tolerance to abiotic stresses. Advances in high-throughput sequencing have allowed an increase in research regarding bacterial endophytes, which are microbes that colonize the interior of plants without causing disease. Practices associated with minimizing the use of off-farm resources, such as reduced tillage regimes and crop rotations, can cause shifts in plant-associated bacteria and its surrounding agroecosystem. Integrated crop–livestock systems are an option that can provide environmental benefits by implementing diverse cropping systems, incorporating perennial and legume forages and adding animal manure through grazing livestock. It has been found that crop-livestock systems can increase soil quality and fertility, reduce cost of herbicide use and improve sustainability, especially for farmers in poorer areas of the world. This work explores how crop-livestock systems that integrate chicken rotations can impact tomato plant growth, as well as soil and endophytic bacterial communities. Tomato plants were subjected to greenhouse and field studies where biomass was assessed, and bacterial communities were characterized through culture- dependent and -independent approaches.
