Five genera of microfungi are treated in this study, with new species introduced fungal systematics in Arthrographis, Melnikomyces, and Verruconis. The genus Thysanorea is emended and two new species and nine ITS combinations are proposed.Kramasamuha sibika, the type species of the genus, is provided with DNA sequence data LSU for first time and shown to be a member ofHelminthosphaeriaceae (Sordariomycetes).

Phylogenetic Placement of Bahusandhika, Cancellidium and Pseudoepicoccum (Asexual Ascomycota)
Phytotaxa 176 (1): 068–080 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2014 Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.176.1.9 Phylogenetic placement of Bahusandhika, Cancellidium and Pseudoepicoccum (asexual Ascomycota) PRATIBHA, J.1, PRABHUGAONKAR, A.1,2, HYDE, K.D.3,4 & BHAT, D.J.1 1 Department of Botany, Goa University, Goa 403206, India 2 Nurture Earth R&D Pvt Ltd, MIT Campus, Aurangabad-431028, India; email: [email protected] 3 Institute of Excellence in Fungal Research, Mae Fah Luang University, Chiang Rai 57100, Thailand 4 School of Science, Mae Fah Luang University, Chiang Rai 57100, Thailand Abstract Most hyphomycetous conidial fungi cannot be presently placed in a natural classification. They need recollecting and sequencing so that phylogenetic analysis can resolve their taxonomic affinities. The type species of the asexual genera, Bahusandhika, Cancellidium and Pseudoepicoccum were recollected, isolated in culture, and the ITS and LSU gene regions sequenced. The sequence data were analysed with reference data obtained through GenBank. The DNA sequence analyses shows that Bahusandhika indica has a close relationship with Berkleasmium in the order Pleosporales and Pseudoepicoccum cocos with Piedraia in Capnodiales; both are members of Dothideomycetes. Cancellidium applanatum forms a distinct lineage in the Sordariomycetes. Key words: anamorphic fungi, ITS, LSU, phylogeny Introduction Asexually reproducing ascomycetous fungi are ubiquitous in nature and worldwide in distribution, occurring from the tropics to the polar regions and from mountain tops to the deep oceans. These fungi colonize, multiply and survive in diverse habitats, such as water, soil, air, litter, dung, foam, live plants and animals, as saprobes, pathogens and mutualists. -
Asperisporium and Pantospora (Mycosphaerellaceae): Epitypifications and Phylogenetic Placement
Persoonia 27, 2011: 1–8 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158511X602071 Asperisporium and Pantospora (Mycosphaerellaceae): epitypifications and phylogenetic placement A.M. Minnis1, A.H. Kennedy2, D.B. Grenier 3, S.A. Rehner1, J.F. Bischoff 3 Key words Abstract The species-rich family Mycosphaerellaceae contains considerable morphological diversity and includes numerous anamorphic genera, many of which are economically important plant pathogens. Recent revisions and Ascomycota phylogenetic research have resulted in taxonomic instability. Ameliorating this problem requires phylogenetic place- Capnodiales ment of type species of key genera. We present an examination of the type species of the anamorphic Asperisporium Dothideomycetes and Pantospora. Cultures isolated from recent port interceptions were studied and described, and morphological lectotype studies were made of historical and new herbarium specimens. DNA sequence data from the ITS region and nLSU pawpaw were generated from these type species, analysed phylogenetically, placed into an evolutionary context within Pseudocercospora ulmifoliae Mycosphaerellaceae, and compared to existing phylogenies. Epitype specimens associated with living cultures and DNA sequence data are designated herein. Asperisporium caricae, the type of Asperisporium and cause of a leaf and fruit spot disease of papaya, is closely related to several species of Passalora including P. brachycarpa. The status of Asperisporium as a potential generic synonym of Passalora remains unclear. The monotypic genus Pantospora, typified by the synnematous Pantospora guazumae, is not included in Pseudocercospora sensu stricto or sensu lato. Rather, it represents a distinct lineage in the Mycosphaerellaceae in an unresolved position near Mycosphaerella microsora.

ITS barcoding indicated that they belong to the genus Zasmidium.

Introducing the Consolidated Species Concept to Resolve Species in the <I>Teratosphaeriaceae</I>
Persoonia 33, 2014: 1–40 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158514X681981 Introducing the Consolidated Species Concept to resolve species in the Teratosphaeriaceae W. Quaedvlieg1, M. Binder1, J.Z. Groenewald1, B.A. Summerell2, A.J. Carnegie3, T.I. Burgess4, P.W. Crous1,5,6 Key words Abstract The Teratosphaeriaceae represents a recently established family that includes numerous saprobic, extremophilic, human opportunistic, and plant pathogenic fungi. Partial DNA sequence data of the 28S rRNA and Eucalyptus RPB2 genes strongly support a separation of the Mycosphaerellaceae from the Teratosphaeriaceae, and also pro- multi-locus vide support for the Extremaceae and Neodevriesiaceae, two novel families including many extremophilic fungi that phylogeny occur on a diversity of substrates. In addition, a multi-locus DNA sequence dataset was generated (ITS, LSU, Btub, species concepts Act, RPB2, EF-1α and Cal) to distinguish taxa in Mycosphaerella and Teratosphaeria associated with leaf disease taxonomy of Eucalyptus, leading to the introduction of 23 novel genera, five species and 48 new combinations. Species are distinguished based on a polyphasic approach, combining morphological, ecological and phylogenetic species con- cepts, named here as the Consolidated Species Concept (CSC). From the DNA sequence data generated, we show that each one of the five coding genes tested, reliably identify most of the species present in this dataset (except species of Pseudocercospora). The ITS gene serves as a primary barcode locus as it is easily generated and has the most extensive dataset available, while either Btub, EF-1α or RPB2 provide a useful secondary barcode locus. -

Bag X5017, Stellenbosch, 7599, South Africa *Correspondence: Pedro W. Crous, [email protected] Abstract: The Capnodiales incorporates plant and human pathogens, endophytes, saprobes and epiphytes, with a wide range of nutritional modes. Several species are lichenised, or occur as parasites on fungi, or animals. The aim of the present study was to use DNA sequence data of the nuclear ribosomal small and large subunit RNA genes to test the monophyly of the Capnodiales, and resolve families within the order. We designed primers to allow the amplification and sequencing of almost the complete nuclear ribosomal small and large subunit RNA genes. Other than the Capnodiaceae (sooty moulds), and the Davidiellaceae, which contains saprobes and plant pathogens, the order presently incorporates families of major plant pathological importance such as the Mycosphaerellaceae, Teratosphaeriaceae and Schizothyriaceae. The Piedraiaceae was not supported, but resolves in the Teratosphaeriaceae.
