Mycosphere 6(3), 290–326, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/6/3/7 Abstract The Dothideomycetes include several genera whose ascomata can be considered as apothecia and thus would be grouped as discomycetes. Most genera are grouped in the family Patellariaceae, but also Agrynnaceae and other families. The Hysteriales include genera having hysterioid ascomata and can be confused with species in Patellariaceae with discoid apothecia if the opening is wide enough. In this study, genera of the family Patellariaceae were re-examined and characterized based on morphological examination. As a result of this study the genera Baggea, Endotryblidium, Holmiella, Hysteropatella, Lecanidiella, Lirellodisca, Murangium, Patellaria, Poetschia, Rhizodiscina, Schrakia, Stratisporella and Tryblidaria are retained in the family Patellariaceae. The genera Banhegyia, Pseudoparodia and Rhytidhysteron are excluded because of differing morphology and/or molecular data. -

Mycosphere 10(1), 310–489, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/7 Abstract Leotiomycetes is regarded as the inoperculate class of discomycetes within the phylum Ascomycota. Taxa are mainly characterized by asci with a simple pore blueing in Melzer’s reagent, although some taxa have lost this character. The monophyly of this class has been verified in several recent molecular studies. However, circumscription of the orders, families and generic level delimitation are still unsettled. This paper provides a modified backbone tree for the class Leotiomycetes based on phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 loci. In the phylogenetic analysis, Leotiomycetes separates into 19 clades, which can be recognized as orders and order-level clades. -
Penicillium Arizonense, a New, Genome Sequenced Fungal Species
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Penicillium arizonense, a new, genome sequenced fungal species, reveals a high chemical diversity in Received: 07 June 2016 Accepted: 26 September 2016 secreted metabolites Published: 14 October 2016 Sietske Grijseels1,*, Jens Christian Nielsen2,*, Milica Randelovic1, Jens Nielsen2,3, Kristian Fog Nielsen1, Mhairi Workman1 & Jens Christian Frisvad1 A new soil-borne species belonging to the Penicillium section Canescentia is described, Penicillium arizonense sp. nov. (type strain CBS 141311T = IBT 12289T). The genome was sequenced and assembled into 33.7 Mb containing 12,502 predicted genes. A phylogenetic assessment based on marker genes confirmed the grouping ofP. arizonense within section Canescentia. Compared to related species, P. arizonense proved to encode a high number of proteins involved in carbohydrate metabolism, in particular hemicellulases. Mining the genome for genes involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis resulted in the identification of 62 putative biosynthetic gene clusters. Extracts ofP. arizonense were analysed for secondary metabolites and austalides, pyripyropenes, tryptoquivalines, fumagillin, pseurotin A, curvulinic acid and xanthoepocin were detected. A comparative analysis against known pathways enabled the proposal of biosynthetic gene clusters in P. arizonense responsible for the synthesis of all detected compounds except curvulinic acid. The capacity to produce biomass degrading enzymes and the identification of a high chemical diversity in secreted bioactive secondary metabolites, offers a broad range of potential industrial applications for the new speciesP. arizonense. The description and availability of the genome sequence of P. arizonense, further provides the basis for biotechnological exploitation of this species. Penicillia are important cell factories for the production of antibiotics and enzymes, and several species of the genus also play a central role in the production of fermented food products such as cheese and meat. -
The Phylogeny of Plant and Animal Pathogens in the Ascomycota
Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology (2001) 59, 165±187 doi:10.1006/pmpp.2001.0355, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on MINI-REVIEW The phylogeny of plant and animal pathogens in the Ascomycota MARY L. BERBEE* Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Blvd, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada (Accepted for publication August 2001) What makes a fungus pathogenic? In this review, phylogenetic inference is used to speculate on the evolution of plant and animal pathogens in the fungal Phylum Ascomycota. A phylogeny is presented using 297 18S ribosomal DNA sequences from GenBank and it is shown that most known plant pathogens are concentrated in four classes in the Ascomycota. Animal pathogens are also concentrated, but in two ascomycete classes that contain few, if any, plant pathogens. Rather than appearing as a constant character of a class, the ability to cause disease in plants and animals was gained and lost repeatedly. The genes that code for some traits involved in pathogenicity or virulence have been cloned and characterized, and so the evolutionary relationships of a few of the genes for enzymes and toxins known to play roles in diseases were explored. In general, these genes are too narrowly distributed and too recent in origin to explain the broad patterns of origin of pathogens. Co-evolution could potentially be part of an explanation for phylogenetic patterns of pathogenesis. Robust phylogenies not only of the fungi, but also of host plants and animals are becoming available, allowing for critical analysis of the nature of co-evolutionary warfare. Host animals, particularly human hosts have had little obvious eect on fungal evolution and most cases of fungal disease in humans appear to represent an evolutionary dead end for the fungus. -

Technologies Underlying Weapons of Mass Destruction
Technical Aspects of Biological Weapon Proliferation 3 iological and toxin warfare (BTW) has been termed “public health in reverse” because it involves the deliberate use of disease and natural poisons to incapac- itate or kill people. Potential BTW agents include Living microorganismsB such as bacteria, rickettsiae, fungi, and viruses that cause infection resulting in incapacitation or death; and toxins, nonliving chemicals manufactured by bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals. Microbial pathogens require an incubation period of 24 hours to 6 weeks between infection and the appearance of symptoms. Toxins, in contrast, do not reproduce within the host; they act relatively quickly, causing incapacita- tion or death within several minutes or hours. The devastation that could be brought about by the military use of biological agents is suggested by the fact that throughout history, the inadvertent spread of infectious disease during wartime has caused far more casualties than actual combat.1 Such agents might also be targeted against domestic animals and staple or cash crops to deprive an enemy of food or to cause economic hardship. Even though biological warfare arouses general repugnance, has never been conducted on a large scale, and is banned by an international treaty, BTW agents were stockpiled during both world wars and continue to be developed as strategic weapons— “the poor man’s atomic bomb’’—by a small but growing number of countries.2 1 John P. Heggers, “Microbial Lnvasion-The Major Ally of War (Natural Biological Warfare),” Military Medicine, vol. 143, No. 6, June 1978, pp. 390-394. 2 This study does not address the potential use of BTW agents by terrorist groups. -
Fusarium Head Blight (Head Scab)
BP-33-W DISEASES OF WHEAT Fusarium Head Blight (Head Scab) Authors: Kiersten Wise, Charles Woloshuk, and Anna Freije In Indiana, Fusarium head blight of wheat (FHB), also called head scab, is caused mainly by the fungus Fusarium graminearum (also known as Gibberella zeae) This disease periodically causes significant yield loss and reduced grain quality. F. graminearum also produces mycotoxins, which are chemicals that are toxic to humans and livestock. This publication describes: • How to identify the disease • Conditions that favor disease develop- ment • Mycotoxins produced by the fungus • Proper handling of diseased grain Figure 1. An individual spikelet infected with Fusarium • How to manage the disease graminearum. During favorable conditions, the fungus may spread into the rachis and infect spikelets above or below the Disease Identification infection point. FHB symptoms are confined to the wheat head, grain, and sometimes the peduncle (stem near the wheat head). Typically, the first noticeable symptom is bleaching of some or all of the spikelets while healthy heads are still green (Figure 1). As the fungus moves into the rachis, spikelets located above or below the initial infection point may also become bleached (Figure 2). If examined closely, pink to orange masses of spores may be visible on infected spikelets. These spore masses are produced www.ag.purdue.edu/BTNY during wet, humid weather (Figure 3). Infected kernels, commonly called tomb- stones, appear shriveled, discolored, and are lightweight (Figure 4). When planted, seeds infected with F. graminearum will have poor germination, Figure 2.
