Currah 1University of Alberta Microfungus Collection and Herbarium, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada; 3Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, Utrecht, The Netherlands Abstract: Arachnomyces is a genus of cleistothecial ascomycetes that has morphological similarities to the Onygenaceae and the Gymnoascaceae but is not accommodated well in either taxon. The phylogeny of the genus and its related anamorphs was studied using nuclear SSU rDNA gene sequences. Partial sequences were determined from ex-type cultures representing A. minimus, A. nodosetosus (anamorph Onychocola canadensis), A. kanei (anamorph O. kanei) and A. gracilis (anamorph Malbranchea sp.) and aligned together with published sequences of onygenalean and other ascomycetes. Phylogenetic analysis based on maximum parsimony showed that Arachnomyces is monophyletic, that it includes the hyphomycete Malbranchea sclerotica, and it forms a distinct lineage within the Eurotiomycetes. Based on molecular and morphological data, we propose the new order Arachnomycetales and a new family Arachnomycetaceae. All known anamorphs in this lineage are arthroconidial and have been placed either in Onychocola (A. nodosetosus, A. kanei) or in Malbranchea (A. gracilis). Onychocola is considered appropriate for disposition of the arthroconidial states of Arachnomyces and thus Malbranchea sclerotica and the unnamed anamorph of A. gracilis are redisposed as Onychocola sclerotica comb. nov. and O. gracilis sp. nov.

Bacterial keratinases were also included. Temperature and substrate relationship keratinase production has also been discussed. Keratin degradation and industrial involvement of keratinase producing fungi is also reviewed. Key words : Keratinase, keratin, degradation, fungi. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Keratin is an insoluble macromolecule requiring the secretion of extra cellular enzymes for biodegradation to occur. Keratin comprises long polypeptide chains, which are resistant to the activity of non-substrate-specific proteases. Adjacent chains are linked by disulphide bonds thought responsible for the stability and resistance to degradation of keratin (Safranek and Goos, 1982). The degradation of keratinous material is important medically and agriculturally (Shih, 1993; Matsumoto, 1996). Secretion of keratinolytic enzymes is associated with dermatophytic fungi, for which keratin

Abstract: The new genus Morinagamyces is introduced herein to accommodate the fungus Apiosordaria vermicularis as inferred from a phylogenetic study based on sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), the nuclear rDNA large subunit (LSU), and partial fragments of ribosomal polymerase II subunit 2 (rpb2) and β-tubulin (tub2) genes. Morinagamyces vermicularis was analyzed for the production of secondary metabolites, resulting in the isolation of a new depsipeptide named morinagadepsin (1), and the already known chaetone B (3). While the planar structure of 1 was elucidated by extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR analysis and high-resolution mass spectrometry, the absolute configuration of the building blocks Ala, Val, and Leu was determined as -L by Marfey’s method. The configuration of the 3-hydroxy-2-methyldecanyl unit was assigned as 22R,23R by Citation: Harms, K.; Surup, F.; Stadler, M.; Stchigel, A.M.; J-based configuration analysis and Mosher’s method after partial hydrolysis of the morinagadepsin Marin-Felix, Y.

    Ascocarp Development in Anthracobia Melaloma

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF HAROLD JULIUS LARSEN, JR. for the MASTER OF ARTS (Name) (Degree) in BOTANY presented on it (Major) (Date) Title: ASCOCA.RP DEVELOPMENT IN ANTHRACOBIA MELALOMA. Abstract approved:Redacted for privacy William C. Denison Cultural and developmental characteristics of a collection of Anthracobia melaloma with a brown hymeniurn and a barred exterior appearance were examined.It grows well in culture on CM and CMMY agar media and has a growth rate of 17 mm in 18 hours.It is heterothallic and produces asexual rnultinucleate arthrospores after incubation at 300C or above for several days in succession.These arthrospores germinate readily after transfer to fresh media. Antheridial hyphae and archicarps are produced by both mating types although the negative mating type isolates producemore abun- dant archicarps.Antheridia are indistinguishable from vegetative hyphae until just prior to plasmogamy when they become swollen. Septal pads arise on the septa separating the cells of the trichogyne and ascogonium subsequent to plasmogamy and persist throughout development. The paraphyses, the ectal and medullary excipulum, and the excipular hairs are all derived from the sheathing hyphae. Ascogenous hyphae and asci are derived from the largest cells of the ascogonium. A haploid chromosome number of four is confirmed for the species. Exposure to fluorescent light was unnecessary for apothecial induction, but did enhance apothecial maturation and the production of hyrnenial carotenoid pigments.Constant exposure to light inhibited

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.
