    Occurrence of Glomeromycota Species in Aquatic Habitats: a Global Overview

    Occurrence of Glomeromycota species in aquatic habitats: a global overview MARIANA BESSA DE QUEIROZ1, KHADIJA JOBIM1, XOCHITL MARGARITO VISTA1, JULIANA APARECIDA SOUZA LEROY1, STEPHANIA RUTH BASÍLIO SILVA GOMES2, BRUNO TOMIO GOTO3 1 Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sistemática e Evolução, 2 Curso de Ciências Biológicas, and 3 Departamento de Botânica e Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Campus Universitário, 59072-970, Natal, RN, Brazil * CORRESPONDENCE TO: [email protected] ABSTRACT — Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are recognized in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The latter, however, have received little attention from the scientific community and, consequently, are poorly known in terms of occurrence and distribution of this group of fungi. This paper provides a global list on AMF species inhabiting aquatic ecosystems reported so far by scientific community (lotic and lentic freshwater, mangroves, and wetlands). A total of 82 species belonging to 5 orders, 11 families, and 22 genera were reported in 8 countries. Lentic ecosystems have greater species richness. Most studies of the occurrence of AMF in aquatic ecosystems were conducted in the United States and India, which constitute 45% and 78% reports coming from temperate and tropical regions, respectively. KEY WORDS — checklist, flooded areas, mycorrhiza, taxonomy Introduction Aquatic ecosystems comprise about 77% of the planet surface (Rebouças 2006) and encompass a diversity of habitats favorable to many species from marine (ocean), transitional estuaries to continental (wetlands, lentic and lotic) environments (Reddy et al. 2018). Despite this territorial representativeness and biodiversity already recorded, there are gaps when considering certain types of organisms, e.g. fungi. Fungi are considered a common and important component of almost all trophic levels.

    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.

IMA Fungus (2020) 11:25 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43008-020-00048-6 IMA Fungus NOMENCLATURE Open Access Setting scientific names at all taxonomic ranks in italics facilitates their quick recognition in scientific papers Marco Thines1,2* , Takayuki Aoki3, Pedro W. Crous4, Kevin D. Hyde5, Robert Lücking6, Elaine Malosso7, Tom W. May8, Andrew N. Miller9, Scott A. Redhead10, Andrey M. Yurkov11 and David L. Hawksworth12,13,14 Abstract It is common practice in scientific journals to print genus and species names in italics. This is not only historical as species names were traditionally derived from Greek or Latin. Importantly, it also facilitates the rapid recognition of genus and species names when skimming through manuscripts. However, names above the genus level are not always italicized, except in some journals which have adopted this practice for all scientific names. Since scientific names treated under the various Codes of nomenclature are without exception treated as Latin, there is no reason why names above genus level should be handled differently, particularly as higher taxon names are becoming increasingly relevant in systematic and evolutionary studies and their italicization would aid the unambiguous recognition of formal scientific names distinguishing them from colloquial names. Several leading mycological and botanical journals have already adopted italics for names of all taxa regardless of rank over recent decades, as is the practice in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, and we hereby recommend that this practice be taken up broadly in scientific journals and textbooks. Keywords: Format of names of taxa, Italics, Publication standards, Scientific names, Scientific practice BACKGROUND names governed under nomenclatural Codes within The International Commission on the Taxonomy of publications, as compared to informal names such as Fungi (ICTF) is an international body devoted to its mis- those sometimes used to differentiate clades.

Sinang Hongsanan1, Rungtiwa Phookamsak2,6,9,10, Ishani D. Goonasekara2,3,4, Kasun M. Thambugala7,8, Kevin D. Hyde2,3, Jayarama D. Bhat5, Nakarin Suwannarach11,12 & Ratchadawan Cheewangkoon1* Collections of microfungi on bamboo and grasses in Thailand revealed an interesting species morphologically resembling Lophiostoma, but which can be distinguished from the latter based on multi-locus phylogeny. In this paper, a new genus, Sublophiostoma is introduced to accommodate the taxon, S. thailandica sp. nov. Phylogenetic analyses using combined ITS, LSU, RPB2, SSU, and TEF sequences demonstrate that six strains of the new species form a distinct clade within Pleosporales, but cannot be assigned to any existing family. Therefore, a new family Sublophiostomataceae (Pleosporales) is introduced to accommodate the new genus. The sexual morph of Sublophiostomataceae is characterized by subglobose to hemisphaerical, ostiolate ascomata, with crest-like openings, a peridium with cells of textura angularis to textura epidermoidea, cylindric-clavate asci with a bulbous or foot-like narrow pedicel and a well-developed ocular chamber, and hyaline, fusiform, 1-septate ascospores surrounded by a large mucilaginous sheath. The asexual morph (coelomycetous) of the species are observed on culture media. Pleosporales Luttr. ex M.E. Barr is the largest order of Dothideomycetes O.E. Erikss. & Winka 1–8. Tis order was invalidly introduced by Luttrell 9 and subsequently validated by Barr 10, based on the family Pleosporaceae Nitschke and its type species Pleospora herbarum (Pers.) Rabenh11. Lumbsch & Huhndorf12 listed 28 families and 175 genera in Pleosporales, while 12 genera were listed as Pleosporales, genera incertae sedis.

Phylogenetic analyses based on LSU and ITS sequence data revealed that this new species with a distinct sexual morph belongs to Requienellaceae (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota). Acrocordiella yunnanensis is closely related to Acrocordiella omanensis in Requienellaceae.

However, much remains unknown about the diversity of edible mushrooms, including the number of wild edible mushroom species and their distributions. In this study, we collected and analyzed 3585 mushroom samples from wild mushroom markets in 35 counties across Yunnan Province from 2010 to 2019. Among these samples, we successfully obtained the DNA barcode sequences from 2198 samples. Sequence comparisons revealed that these 2198 samples likely belonged to 159 known species in 56 different genera, 31 families, 11 orders, 2 classes, and 2 phyla. Significantly, 51.13% of these samples had sequence similarities to known species at lower than 97%, likely representing new taxa.
