More than 200 abstracts from all fields of mycology have been submitted and promise a very interesting and fruitful meeting. Twenty-seven speakers were invited for the plenary sessions and 25 scientists were chosen from the submitted abstracts as further speakers. The work of 182 participants will be presented as posters. The Fungal Biology Conference series was started in 1965 in Bristol, UK and was held since then in irregular intervals in Provo (Utah, USA 1973), Gwatt (Switzerland 1980), Stirling (Scotland 1987), Helen (Georgia, USA 1991), Konstanz (Germany 1996), Groningen (The Netherlands 1999), Guanajuato (Mexico 2002), Nancy (France 2006), Ensenada (Mexico 2009), and now in Karlsruhe (2013). The aim of this Conference series is to especially focus on exciting new fields at the frontiers of fungal biology. These fields are often developed by young scientists, who were therefore especially be chosen as speakers in the poster session talks. One of the international policy committee agreements for this meeting series is that all participants shuld be able to attend every talk. In consequence, there will be no concurrent sessions. This will allow broad discussions of all subjects, but of course will reduce the number of oral presentations chosen from submitted abstracts. We therefore appologize if some of the submitted abstracts could not be selected for oral presentations! However, poster sessions are always very lively at these meetings and reach a similar audience as oral presentations in other meetings. The International Fungal Biology Conference will this year be combined with the biannual German Molecular Mycology meeting. 1 Karlsruhe Karlsruhe is a city in South-West Germany in the Rhine valley near the French- German border. Karlsruhe is one of the last major city foundations that have been designed on the drawing board. According to the legend, Charles III William, Margrave of Baden-Durlach, dreamt after a hunting trip in the woods close to the present-days city about founding a new city, which he named Karlsruhe, which translates as “Charles’ repose”. The city was founded on June 17, 1715. Three years later the residence was moved from the close-by city Durlach, and Karlsruhe became the new capital of Baden-Durlach. Built in 1822, the "Ständehaus" was the first parliament building in a German State. In the aftermath of the democratic revolution of 1848, a republican government was elected here. In 1860, the first ever international professional convention, the Karlsruhe Congress, was held in the city. Founding of the city is closely linked to the construction of the palace. The city was planned with the tower of the palace (Schloss) at the center and 32 streets radiating out from it like spokes on a wheel, or ribs on a folding fan, so that a nickname for Karlsruhe in German is the "fan city" (Fächerstadt). The magnificent garden of the castle was founded in 1731, and originally planned in French Baroque style. Already in the 18th century it was rebuild in the style of English landscape gardening, and in 1967 the garden was further development in the same style. You can find numerous rare plant species in the garden, but also pieces of art, monuments and fountains from various eras from Baroque to Modern. At the western edge of the garden is the Botanical Garden of Karlsruhe. Between the Botanical Garden and the main court of the castle resides the “Bundesverfassungsgericht”, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany. 2 University of Karlsruhe (TH), Research Center and KIT Karlsruhe University (TH) The predecessor of the University of Karlsruhe, the “Polytechnicum” was founded in 1825 by Ludwig I, Grand Duke of Baden, from Tullas "Karlsruhe School of Engineering," Weinbrenner's “Architecture School” and other institutions. In 1885, the name was changed to “Technische Hochschule” (Technical University), and since 1899 it was possible to receive the doctoral degree. The Karlsruhe University was the first university in Germany to admit women to a degree program (1904). A number of Nobel laureates studied in Karlsruhe or worked here for some time. Among them is Karl Ferdinand Braun (inventor of the Cathode ray tube, Braun tube), Fritz Haber (synthesis of ammonia, Haber-Bosch process), Georg Karl von Hevesy (father of nuclear medicine by using radioactive tracers to study the metabolism in plants and animals), or Hermann Staudinger (discovery of ketene molecules that allowed the development of polymers). William Barton Rogers, the founding director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), summed up his personal vision of the Polytechnic School of Karlsruhe in 1864 as follows: "The Polytechnic Institute at Carlsruhe, which is regarded as the model school of Germany and perhaps of Europe, is nearer what it is intended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology shall be than any other foreign institution." In 2006, the University of Karlsruhe was selected along with the Ludwig- Maximilians-University Munich and the Technical University of Munich in the framework of the Excellence Initiative as one of the first three “Elite Universities” in Germany. View of the University of Karlsruhe (Campus South) 3 Research Center Karlsruhe Similar to the establishment of the Polytechnical School in Karlsruhe, the founders of “Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe (KfK)” (Nuclear Research Center) entered new territory. In 1962, on a remote site in Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, north of Karlsruhe, the first research reactor (FR 2) that was constructed and build exclusively in Germany, started to operate. Since the early nineties, the focus shifted to environmental, energy and - especially physical - basic research. Accordingly, the institution was renamed in 1995 to Karlsruhe Research Center for Technology and Environment. Other areas that became increasingly important over the last decades include “Health” (Biomedical Research, Medical Technology) or “Key technologies” (Microelectromechanical Systems, Nanotechnology, Scientific Computing) The connection to the University of Karlsruhe reaches back to the founding days of the Research Center: the working group “Reactor Construction” around Karl Wirtz, from Werner Heisenberg's Max Planck Institute for Physics in Göttingen, moved to Karlsruhe; K. Wirtz himself was founding director of the Institute for Neutron Physics and Reactor Technology and at the same time professor at the University of Karlsruhe. View of the Research Center Karlsruhe (Campus North) 4 The merge: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) (http://www.kit.edu/kit/english/index.php) Unique in German Research, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) was founded by a merger of the Research Center Karlsruhe and the Universität Karlsruhe on October 01, 2009. KIT bundles the missions of both precursory institutions: A university of the state of Baden-Württemberg with teaching and

Email: [email protected] Little attention has been given to the mitochondrial genomes of Beauveria but better understanding may led to insights into the nature of species and evolution in this important genus. In this study, we sequenced the mi- tochondrial genomes of four new strains belonging to Beauveria bassiana, Beauveria caledonica and Beauveria malawiensis, and compared them to existing mitochon- drial sequences of related fungi. The mitochondrial gen- omes of Beauveria ranged widely from 28,806 to 44,135 base pairs, with intron insertions accounting for most size variation and up to 39% (B. malawiensis) of the mi- tochondrial length due to introns in genes. Gene order of the common mitochondrial genes did not vary among the Beauveria sequences, but variation was observed in the number of transfer ribonucleic acid genes. Although phylogenetic analysis using whole mitochondrial gen- omes showed, unsurprisingly, that B.

  • A Re-Evaluation of Neotropical Junghuhnia S.Lat. (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) Based on Morphological and Multigene Analyses
    Persoonia 41, 2018: 130–141 ISSN (Online) 1878-9080 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/persoonia.2018.41.07 A re-evaluation of Neotropical Junghuhnia s.lat. (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) based on morphological and multigene analyses M.C. Westphalen1,*, M. Rajchenberg2, M. Tomšovský3, A.M. Gugliotta1 Key words Abstract Junghuhnia is a genus of polypores traditionally characterised by a dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and presence of encrusted skeletocystidia. However, recent molecular studies revealed that Mycodiversity Junghuhnia is polyphyletic and most of the species cluster with Steccherinum, a morphologically similar genus phylogeny separated only by a hydnoid hymenophore. In the Neotropics, very little is known about the evolutionary relation- Steccherinaceae ships of Junghuhnia s.lat. taxa and very few species have been included in molecular studies. In order to test the taxonomy proper phylogenetic placement of Neotropical species of this group, morphological and molecular analyses were carried out. Specimens were collected in Brazil and used for DNA sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer and the large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene, the translation elongation factor 1-α gene, and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II gene. Herbarium collections, including type specimens, were studied for morphological comparison and to confirm the identity of collections. The molecular data obtained revealed that the studied species are placed in three different genera. Specimens of Junghuhnia carneola represent two distinct species that group in a lineage within the phlebioid clade, separated from Junghuhnia and Steccherinum, which belong to the residual polyporoid clade.

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.

Knowledge on morphological mycelial features and asexual reproduction modes of coprini is restricted, with Coprinopsis cinerea being the best described species. This species produces constitutively on monokaryons and light-induced on dikaryons unicellular uninucleate haploid arthroconidia (oidia) on specific aerial structures (oidiophores). The anamorphic name Hormographiella aspergillata was coined for oidia production on monokaryons. Two other Hormographiella species are described in the literature, one unknown (candelabrata) and one (verticillata) identified as Coprinellus domesticus. Another, yet sterile anamorph associated with some coprini is called Ozonium which describes the incidence of tawny-rust mycelial mats of pigmented, well septated and clampless hyphal strands as

Hughesb aDepartment of Biology, Penn State University, University Park, Pennsylvania, United States of America. bDepartment of Entomology and Department of Biology, Penn State University, University Park, Pennsylvania, United States of America. [email protected]; [email protected]; Abstract The entomopathogenic Fungi comprise a wide range of ecologically diverse species. This group of parasites can be found distributed among all fungal phyla and as well as among the ecologically similar but phylogenetically distinct Oomycetes or water molds, that belong to a different kingdom (Stramenopila). As a group, the entomopathogenic fungi and water molds parasitize a wide range of insect hosts from aquatic larvae in streams to adult insects of high canopy tropical forests. Their hosts are spread among 18 orders of insects, in all developmental stages such as: eggs, larvae, pupae, nymphs and adults exhibiting completely different ecologies. Such assortment of niches has resulted in these parasites evolving a considerable morphological diversity, resulting in enormous biodiversity, much of which remains unknown. Here we gather together a huge amount of records of these entomopathogens to comparing and describe both their morphologies and ecological traits. These findings highlight a wide range of adaptations that evolved following the evolutionary transition to infecting the most diverse and widespread animals on Earth, the insects.
