Four data sets were analysed: a) the internal transcribed spacer region including ITS1, 5.8S rDNA and ITS2 (ITS), b) nc28S (ncLSU) rDNA, c) nc18S (ncSSU) rDNA, and d) a combined data set of ncLSU-ncSSU-RPB2 (ribosomal polymerase B2). The traditional placement of Ch. tulasneorum in the Microascales based on ncLSU sequences is unsupported and Australiasca does not belong to the Chaetosphaeriaceae. Both holomorph species are nested within the Glomerellales. A new genus, Reticulascus, is introduced for Ch. tulasneorum with associated Cylindrotrichum anamorph; another species of Reticulascus and its anamorph in Cylindrotrichum are described as new. The taxonomic structure of the Glomerellales is clarified and the name is validly published. As delimited here, it includes three families, the Glomerellaceae and the newly described Australiascaceae and Reticulascaceae. Based on ITS and ncLSU rDNA sequence analyses, we confirm the synonymy of the anamorph generaDischloridium with Monilochaetes.

  • Some Rare and Interesting Fungal Species of Phylum Ascomycota from Western Ghats of Maharashtra: a Taxonomic Approach
    Journal on New Biological Reports ISSN 2319 – 1104 (Online) JNBR 7(3) 120 – 136 (2018) Published by www.researchtrend.net Some rare and interesting fungal species of phylum Ascomycota from Western Ghats of Maharashtra: A taxonomic approach Rashmi Dubey Botanical Survey of India Western Regional Centre, Pune – 411001, India *Corresponding author: [email protected] | Received: 29 June 2018 | Accepted: 07 September 2018 | ABSTRACT Two recent and important developments have greatly influenced and caused significant changes in the traditional concepts of systematics. These are the phylogenetic approaches and incorporation of molecular biological techniques, particularly the analysis of DNA nucleotide sequences, into modern systematics. This new concept has been found particularly appropriate for fungal groups in which no sexual reproduction has been observed (deuteromycetes). Taking this view during last five years surveys were conducted to explore the Ascomatal fungal diversity in natural forests of Western Ghats of Maharashtra. In the present study, various areas were visited in different forest ecosystems of Western Ghats and collected the live, dried, senescing and moribund leaves, logs, stems etc. This multipronged effort resulted in the collection of more than 1000 samples with identification of more than 300 species of fungi belonging to Phylum Ascomycota. The fungal genera and species were classified in accordance to Dictionary of fungi (10th edition) and Index fungorum (http://www.indexfungorum.org). Studies conducted revealed that fungal taxa belonging to phylum Ascomycota (316 species, 04 varieties in 177 genera) ruled the fungal communities and were represented by sub phylum Pezizomycotina (316 species and 04 varieties belonging to 177 genera) which were further classified into two categories: (1).

    Fungal Diversity New species of Chaetosphaeria, Melanopsammella and Tainosphaeria gen. nov. from the Americas Fernando A. Fernández* and Sabine M. Huhndorf The Field Museum, Department of Botany, 1400 S. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60605- 2496, USA Fernández, F.A. and Huhndorf, S.M. (2005). New species of Chaetosphaeria, Melanopsammella and Tainosphaeria gen. nov. from the Americas. Fungal Diversity 18: 15- 57. Ten new species of Chaetosphaeria, and one new species of Melanopsammella are described from North temperate and tropical America. The new genus Tainosphaeria is also described and Chaetosphaeria capitata is reported from the Neotropics for the first time. Seven different, distinctive anamorphs are reported and connected to Chaetosphaeria teleomorphs. The morphological diversity in anamorphs of Chaetosphaeria and its phylogenetic significance is discussed. Key words: anamorph, Chaetosphaeriaceae, Lasiosphaeriaceae, Sordariales, Striatosphaeria, systematics, Trichosphaeriaceae, Zignoëlla. Introduction Chaetosphaeria Tul. and Tul. and related genera are common saprobic pyrenomycetous ascomycetes which reproduce on extensively decomposed plant substrates and are worldwide in distribution. Ascomata are very small (ca. 100-300 µm in diam.), superficial, glabrous or setose, and are commonly found on decorticated and highly decayed wood, at or in close proximity to the ground. In the tropics, any highly decomposed, lignin-containing substrate (logs, branches, twigs, wood fragments, palm petioles) supports the fruiting of these fungi. Chaetosphaeria had been placed in the Lasiosphaeriaceae (Barr, 1990), and it is currently in the Chaetosphaeriaceae (Réblová et al., 1999) in the newly introduced Chaetosphaeriales (Huhndorf et al., 2004). Morphological characters in teleomorphs of Chaetosphaeria are relatively few and generally simple, whereas corresponding anamorphs are, relatively speaking, distinctive and morphologically diverse.

MycoKeys 74: 17–74. https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.74.57824 Abstract The Chaetosphaeriaceae are a diverse group of pigmented, predominantly phialidic hyphomycetes com- prised of several holomorphic genera including Chaetosphaeria, the most prominent genus of the family. Although the morphology of the teleomorphs of the majority of Chaetosphaeria is rather uniform, their associated anamorphs primarily exhibit the variability and evolutionary change observed in the genus. An exception from the morphological monotony among Chaetosphaeria species is a group character- ised by scolecosporous, hyaline to light pink, multiseptate, asymmetrical ascospores and a unique three- layered ascomatal wall. Paragaeumannomyces sphaerocellularis, the type species of the genus, exhibits these morphological traits and is compared with similar Chaetosphaeria with craspedodidymum- and chloridium-like synanamorphs.

MycoKeys 76: 17–30. https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.76.57410 Abstract The asexual taxon Phialolunulospora vermispora gen. et sp. nov., collected from submerged dicotyledonous leaves in Hainan, China, is described and illustrated herein. Phialolunulospora gen. nov. is characterized by macronematous, semimacronematous, septate and pigmented conidiophores and acrogenous, long lunate, vermiform to sigmoid, hyaline conidia with an eccentric basal appendage. Complete sequences of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and partial sequences of nuclear large subunits ribosomal DNA (LSU) genes are provided. Phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS and LSU sequences revealed its placement in the Chaetosphaeriaceae. The new fungus is compared with morphologically similar genera. Keywords Biodiversity, Chaetosphaeriales, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction China is considered an important Asian reservoir of biodiversity.
