Chapter 11 Marine Fungi Associated with Antarctic Macroalgae
Chapter 11 Marine Fungi Associated with Antarctic Macroalgae Mayara B. Ogaki, Maria T. de Paula, Daniele Ruas, Franciane M. Pellizzari, César X. García-Laviña, and Luiz H. Rosa Abstract Fungi are well known for their important roles in terrestrial ecosystems, but filamentous and yeast forms are also active components of microbial communi- ties from marine ecosystems. Marine fungi are particularly abundant and relevant in coastal systems where they can be found in association with large organic substrata, like seaweeds. Antarctica is a rather unexplored region of the planet that is being influenced by strong and rapid climate change. In the past decade, several efforts have been made to get a thorough inventory of marine fungi from different environ- ments, with a particular emphasis on those associated with the large communities of seaweeds that abound in littoral and infralittoral ecosystems. The algicolous fungal communities obtained were characterized by a few dominant species and a large number of singletons, as well as a balance among endemic, indigenous, and cold- adapted cosmopolitan species. The long-term monitoring of this balance and the dynamics of richness, dominance, and distributional patterns of these algicolous fungal communities is proposed to understand and model the influence of climate change on the maritime Antarctic biota. In addition, several fungal isolates from marine Antarctic environments have shown great potential as producers of bioactive natural products and enzymes and may represent attractive sources of biotechno- logical products.

Analysis of fungal diversity of the rotten wooden pillars of a historic building Xingxia Ma ( [email protected] ) Johann Heinrich von Thunen-Institut Bundesforschungsinstitut fur Landliche Raume Wald und Fischerei Bin Zhang Chinese Academy of Forestry Research Institute of Wood Industry Bo Liu Chinese Academy of Forestry Research Institute of Wood Industry Research article Keywords: historical building, building mycology, rotten wooden pillar, fungal diversity, decayed ring Posted Date: February 13th, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.2.23473/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/18 Abstract High-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze the fungal community structure and its association with the cause of decay on the wooden pillars of an ancient archway in Beijing. The dominant fungi on the rotten pillars belonged to Ascomycetes regardless of the sampling position. Compared with the fungal community composition of discolored wood previously studied, the proportion of Basidiomycetes in rotten wood pillars increased at the highest value of 37.9%. High-throughput sequencing showed that the main fungi in the rst pillar were Ascomycetes ( Phoma , Lecythophora , and Scedosporium ) and Basidiomycetes (Sporidiobolales). Ascomycetes Lecythophora and Basidiomycetes Cryptcoccus and Postia were the main fungi in pillar 2. Phoma , Trichoderma, and Entoloma were isolated from pillar 1, whereas Alternaria and Phaeosphaeriaceae were obtained from pillar 2 using culture isolation. Traditional isolation failed to obtain all dominant fungi. The importance of high-throughput sequencing technology in ancient wooden structure building biodeterioration analysis was further explained. At the three sampling sites, the contact-ground fungal community composition was similar to that of in-ground wood, whereas above-ground fungal community composition was signicantly different from the other two sites. -

Biology and recent developments in the systematics of Phoma, a complex genus of major quarantine significance. Fungal Diversity 31: 1-18. Species of the coelomycetous genus Phoma are ubiquitously present in the environment, and occupy numerous ecological niches. More than 220 species are currently recognised, but the actual number of taxa within this genus is probably much higher, as only a fraction of the thousands of species described in literature have been verified in vitro. For as long as the genus exists, identification has posed problems to taxonomists due to the asexual nature of most species, the high morphological variability in vivo, and the vague generic circumscription according to the Saccardoan system. In recent years the genus was revised in a series of papers by Gerhard Boerema and co-workers, using culturing techniques and morphological data. This resulted in an extensive handbook, the “Phoma Identification Manual” which was published in 2004. The present review discusses the taxonomic revision of Phoma and its teleomorphs, with a special focus on its molecular biology and papers published in the post-Boerema era. Key words: coelomycetes, Phoma, systematics, taxonomy. -

Characteristics of Phoma Herbaruh Isolates from Diseased Forest Tree Seedlings
CHARACTERISTICS OF PHOMA HERBARUH ISOLATES FROM DISEASED FOREST TREE SEEDLINGS by I.. L. James, Plant Pathologist Cooperative Forestry and Pest Management USDA Forest Service Northern Region Missoula, Montana April 1985 ABSTRACT PhQma herbarum is frequently isolated from forest tree seedlings displaying tip dieback or stem canker symptoms from nurseries in the northern Rocky Mountains. ~ vitro growth characteristics of fungal colonies are used to differentiate this species from others in the genus Phoma. Descriptions of several isolates and notes Qn nomenclature and habits in nature are discussed. n."Tl'RODU CTION During the course of investigating diseases of forest tree seedlings at two private nurseries in northern Idaho (Clifty View and Nishek Nurseries, Bonners Ferry). the Montana State Nursery in Missoula, Montana (James 1983), and a nursery in Oregon (James 198~), several isolates of Phoma herbarum Westend. were consistently isolated from diseased seedlings. In most cases, this fungus was the most common organism obtained from necrotic t i ssues , Although pathogenicity tests were not conducted, it is suspected that ~. herbarum was important in the etiology of most diseases. This report 'summarizes characteristics 6f several f. herbarum isolates obtained from diseased forest tree seedlings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Taxonomic studies of fungi within the genus Phoma are difficult because of the wide host range and great diversity within individual species. Because of this diversity, species classifications are difficult and often made on the basis of slight morphological differences and host substrates (Sutton 1980). This has resulted in descriptions of more than 2,000 species of Phoma. However, these descriptions have often not reflected fundamental relationships among taxa nor are they of practical value to mycologists or pathologists. -
Phytomyza Vitalbae, Phoma Clematidina, and Insect-Plant
Phytomyza vitalbae, Phoma clematidina, and insect–plant pathogen interactions in the biological control of weeds R.L. Hill,1 S.V. Fowler,2 R. Wittenberg,3 J. Barton,2,5 S. Casonato,2 A.H. Gourlay4 and C. Winks2 Summary Field observations suggested that the introduced agromyzid fly Phytomyza vitalbae facilitated the performance of the coelomycete fungal pathogen Phoma clematidina introduced to control Clematis vitalba in New Zealand. However, when this was tested in a manipulative experiment, the observed effects could not be reproduced. Conidia did not survive well when sprayed onto flies, flies did not easily transmit the fungus to C. vitalba leaves, and the incidence of infection spots was not related to the density of feeding punctures in leaves. Although no synergistic effects were demonstrated in this case, insect–pathogen interactions, especially those mediated through the host plant, are important to many facets of biological control practice. This is discussed with reference to recent literature. Keywords: Clematis vitalba, insect–plant pathogen interactions, Phoma clematidina, Phytomyza vitalbae, tripartite interactions.

Aveskamp, [email protected] #Current address: Mycolim BV, Veld Oostenrijk 13, 5961 NV Horst, The Netherlands Abstract: Fungal taxonomists routinely encounter problems when dealing with asexual fungal species due to poly- and paraphyletic generic phylogenies, and unclear species boundaries. These problems are aptly illustrated in the genus Phoma. This phytopathologically significant fungal genus is currently subdivided into nine sections which are mainly based on a single or just a few morphological characters. However, this subdivision is ambiguous as several of the section-specific characters can occur within a single species. In addition, many teleomorph genera have been linked to Phoma, three of which are recognised here. In this study it is attempted to delineate generic boundaries, and to come to a generic circumscription which is more correct from an evolutionary point of view by means of multilocus sequence typing. Therefore, multiple analyses were conducted utilising sequences obtained from 28S nrDNA (Large Subunit - LSU), 18S nrDNA (Small Subunit - SSU), the Internal Transcribed Spacer regions 1 & 2 and 5.8S nrDNA (ITS), and part of the β-tubulin (TUB) gene region. -
Microplastics Accumulate Fungal Pathogens in Terrestrial Ecosystems
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Microplastics accumulate fungal pathogens in terrestrial ecosystems Gerasimos Gkoutselis1,5, Stephan Rohrbach2,5, Janno Harjes1, Martin Obst3, Andreas Brachmann4, Marcus A. Horn2* & Gerhard Rambold1* Microplastic (MP) is a pervasive pollutant in nature that is colonised by diverse groups of microbes, including potentially pathogenic species. Fungi have been largely neglected in this context, despite their afnity for plastics and their impact as pathogens. To unravel the role of MP as a carrier of fungal pathogens in terrestrial ecosystems and the immediate human environment, epiplastic mycobiomes from municipal plastic waste from Kenya were deciphered using ITS metabarcoding as well as a comprehensive meta-analysis, and visualised via scanning electron as well as confocal laser scanning microscopy. Metagenomic and microscopic fndings provided complementary evidence that the terrestrial plastisphere is a suitable ecological niche for a variety of fungal organisms, including important animal and plant pathogens, which formed the plastisphere core mycobiome. We show that MPs serve as selective artifcial microhabitats that not only attract distinct fungal communities, but also accumulate certain opportunistic human pathogens, such as cryptococcal and Phoma-like species. Therefore, MP must be regarded a persistent reservoir and potential vector for fungal pathogens in soil environments. Given the increasing amount of plastic waste in terrestrial ecosystems worldwide, this interrelation may have severe consequences for the trans-kingdom and multi-organismal epidemiology of fungal infections on a global scale. Plastic waste, an inevitable and inadvertent marker of the Anthropocene, has become a ubiquitous pollutant in nature1. Plastics can therefore exert negative efects on biota in both, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
