Cultural descriptions of endophytic Xylaria species from an Amazonian palm, Euterpe oleracea, are presented. Eighty-one isolates representing 15 species of Xylaria were examined for isozyme variation by means of horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. Results from the isozyme analysis revealed a high degree of intra- and interspecific diversity among Xylaria species. Keywords: endophytes, isozymes, tropical fungi, Xylariaceae, Euterpe oleracea. The genus Xylaria and other members of the Xylariaceae are commonly isolated endophytes. The identification at the species level of putative endophytic Xylaria grown in culture is still a difficult task because they rarely produce morphologically diagnostic structures, and teleomorphs are seldom formed. Indeed, many of them may differ from free-living forms and some might not produce the teleomorph at all (Brunner & Petrini, 1992). Anamorphs produced in culture are re- latively easy to identify to the genus because of their typical stromata, conidiophores and conidial development.

Received _________; revision accepted ________. Thomas, Vandegrift, Ludden, Carroll, and Roy Spatial Ecology of Cloud Forest Xylaria Abstract: Fungal symbioses with plants are ubiquitous, ancient, and vital to both ecosystem function and plant health. However, benefits to fungal symbionts are not well explored, especially in non- mycorrhizal fungi. Here we examine spatial relationships of Xylaria endophytic fungi in the forest canopy with Xylaria decomposer fungi on the forest floor, to test the hypothesis that some fungi possess alternate life-history strategies, alternating between decomposer and endophytic life stages to aid dispersal and endure resource shortages, known as the Foraging Ascomycete hypothesis. We sampled for fungi of the genus Xylaria using a spatially explicit sampling scheme in a remote Ecuadorian cloud forest, and concurrently carried out an extensive culture- based sampling of fungal foliar endophytes. We found 36 species of Xylaria in our 0.5 ha plot, 31 of which were found to only occur as fruiting bodies. All five species of Xylaria found as endophytes were also found as fruiting bodies. We also tested the relationships of both stages of these fungi to environmental variables. Decomposer fungi were differentiated by species-specific habitat preferences, with three species being found closer to water than expected by chance, but endophytes displayed no sensitivity to environmental conditions, such as host, moisture, or canopy cover.

Mycosphere 8(8), 1070–1079, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/8/8/8 Abstract Two species of Xylaria collected from southern China are reported. Xylaria spinulosa sp. nov. is introduced as a new species based on morphology and sequence data analysis. Xylaria spinulosa differs from other species in the genus mainly by its long spines covering the surface of the stroma. Xylaria atrosphaerica is a new record for China. Descriptions and illustrations for both species are provided in this paper. Key words – morphology – new species – phylogeny – taxonomy – Xylariales Introduction Xylaria belongs in the subclass Xylariomycetidae in the order Xylariales, a group which is presently undergoing considerable revision (Daranagama et al. 2015, 2016). It is not presently clear how many families will be accepted in the genus, but Xylaria Hill ex Schrank is the largest genus in the family with species having been recorded in most countries worldwide (Læssøe 1987, 1999, Ju & Hsieh 2007, Ju et al.

  • Recent Progress in Biodiversity Research on the Xylariales and Their Secondary Metabolism
    The Journal of Antibiotics (2021) 74:1–23 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41429-020-00376-0 SPECIAL FEATURE: REVIEW ARTICLE Recent progress in biodiversity research on the Xylariales and their secondary metabolism 1,2 1,2 Kevin Becker ● Marc Stadler Received: 22 July 2020 / Revised: 16 September 2020 / Accepted: 19 September 2020 / Published online: 23 October 2020 © The Author(s) 2020. This article is published with open access Abstract The families Xylariaceae and Hypoxylaceae (Xylariales, Ascomycota) represent one of the most prolific lineages of secondary metabolite producers. Like many other fungal taxa, they exhibit their highest diversity in the tropics. The stromata as well as the mycelial cultures of these fungi (the latter of which are frequently being isolated as endophytes of seed plants) have given rise to the discovery of many unprecedented secondary metabolites. Some of those served as lead compounds for development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Recently, the endophytic Xylariales have also come in the focus of biological control, since some of their species show strong antagonistic effects against fungal and other pathogens. New compounds, including volatiles as well as nonvolatiles, are steadily being discovered from these fi 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: ascomycetes, and polythetic taxonomy now allows for elucidation of the life cycle of the endophytes for the rst time. Moreover, recently high-quality genome sequences of some strains have become available, which facilitates phylogenomic studies as well as the elucidation of the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC) as a starting point for synthetic biotechnology approaches. In this review, we summarize recent findings, focusing on the publications of the past 3 years.

Emarcea castanopsidicola gen. et sp. nov. is typical of Xylariales as ascomata develop beneath a blackened clypeus, ostioles are papillate and asci are unitunicate with a J+ subapical ring. The ascospores in Emarcea cas- tanopsidicola are, however, 1-septate, hyaline and long fusiform, which distinguishes it from other genera in the Xylariaceae. In order to substantiate these morphological findings, we analysed three sets of sequence data generated from ribosomal DNA gene (18S, 28S and ITS) under different optimality criteria. We analysed this data to provide further information on the phylogeny and taxonomic position of this new taxon. All phylogenies were essentially similar and there is conclusive mo- lecular evidence to support the establishment of Emarcea castanopsidicola within the Xylariales. Results indicate that this taxon bears close phylogenetic affinities to Muscodor (anamorphic Xylariaceae) and Xylaria species and therefore this genus is best accommodated in the Xylariaceae.

Considering that the diversity of endolichenic fungi is little explored, and its phylogenetic relationship with other lifestyles (endophytism and saprotrophism) is still to be explored in detail, this paper presents data on axenic cultures and phylogenetic relationships of three endolichenic fungi, isolated in laboratory. Cladonia curta Ahti & Marcelli, a species of lichen described in Brazil, is distributed at three sites in the Southeast of the country, in mesophilous forests and the Cerrado. Initial hyphal growth of Xylaria spp. on C. curta podetia started four days after inoculation and continued for the next 13 days until the hyphae completely covered the podetia.
