Abstract: Biscogniauxia granmoi, growing on Prunus padus (incl. var. pubescens = Padus asiatica) is reported from Europe and Asia, with material from Austria, Latvia, Norway, Poland, and Far Eastern Russia. It is compared with B. nummulana s. str., B. capnodes and B. simphcior.

Zusammenfassung: Biscogniauxia granmoi, die bisher ausschließlich auf Prunus padus (inkl. var pubescens = Padus asiatica) gefunden wurde, wird aufgrund von Aufsammlungen aus Europa und Asien vorgestellt. Die bisherigen Belege stammen aus Österreich, Litauen, Norwegen, Polen und dem femöstlichen Teil Rußlands. Die Unterschiede zu B. nummulana s. Str., B. capnodes und H simphaor werden diskutiert. Dieses Taxon wurde unter dem Namen "B. pruni Granmo, l.aessoe & Scheuer" nom. prov. schon von JU & al. (1998, Mycotaxon 66: 50) in ihre Revision der Gattung Biscogniauxia aufge- nommen. The genus Biscogniauxia KUNTZE (Xylariaceae) was resurrected and amended by POUZAR (1979, 1986) for a group of Xylariaceae with applanate dark stromata that MILLER (1961) treated in Hypoxylon BULL., and for a group of species with thick, discoid stromata formerly placed in Nummularia TUL. -

This renders H. invadens an interesting target in our efforts to find new bioactive secondary metabolites from members of the Xylariales. So far, only volatile organic compounds have been reported from H. invadens, but no investigation of non-volatile compounds had been conducted. Furthermore, a phylogenetic assignment following recent trends in fungal taxonomy via a multiple sequence alignment seemed practical. A culture of H. invadens was thus subjected to submerged cultivation to investigate the produced secondary metabolites, followed by isolation via preparative chromatography and subsequent structure elucidation by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS). -

A tutti quelli che aspettano l’ora della loro vita... "Dilige, et quod vis fac: sive taceas, dilectione taceas; sive clames, dilectione clames; sive emendes, dilectione emendes; sive parcas, dilectione parcas: radix sit intus dilectionis, non potest de ista radice nisi bonum existere". Sant'Agostino (In Io. Ep. tr. 7, 8) Abstract This thesis has investigated diversity and distribution of "pathogenic" and "non-pathogenic" fungal endophyte communities in twigs, leaves and buds of Fagus sylvatica in beech Italian forest into Monte Cimino area. In last decade European beech has been subject to a number of biotic and abiotic stresses included the increasing impact of drought and, as a consequence, the impact of native parasites that attack weakened hosts. Among these, Biscogniauxia nummularia (Bull.) Kuntze, associated with severe beech- declines, has been studied for its importance as latent pathogen of healthy beech tissues. Understanding how fungal endophyte communities differ in abundance, diversity and taxonomic composition is key to understanding the ecology and evolutionary context of endophyte-plant associations. Fungal ITS sequences were used for validation of morphological identification and phylogenetic analysis. According to the ITS phylogeny, endophytes studied belong to the main non-parasitic and non-lichenised orders of Pezizomycotina. The effects of native tissue, site exposure, and season on endophyte assemblages were investigated. Native tissue was the major factor shaping endophyte assemblages. Exposure and seasonal differences played a significant but lesser role. Several recently developed molecular methods offer new tools for determining the presence and diversity of fungi in complex microbial communities. Terminal restriction fragment (TRF) pattern analysis was tested as a method for assessing the molecular diversity of endophyte fungal community within asymptomatic beech tissues. -
The Phylogenetic Position of Rhopalostroma As Inferred from a Polythetic Approach
Persoonia 25, 2010: 11–21 www.persoonia.org RESEARCH ARTICLE doi:10.3767/003158510X524231 The phylogenetic position of Rhopalostroma as inferred from a polythetic approach M. Stadler1, J. Fournier2, S. Gardt3, D. Peršoh3 Key words Abstract The xylariaceous genus Rhopalostroma comprises a small conglomerate of stromatic, angiosperm- associated pyrenomycetes, which have so far exclusively been reported from the palaeotropics, above all from Ascomycota tropical Africa and South Asia. Morphological and chemotaxonomic studies had suggested their close relationship chemosystematics to the genera Daldinia and Hypoxylon. However, those results were mainly based on herbarium specimens, and extrolites no molecular phylogenetic data were available on Rhopalostroma. During a foray in Côte d’Ivoire, fresh material of fungi R. angolense was collected, cultured and studied by microscopic methods and by secondary metabolite profiling Rhopalostroma using high performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array and mass spectrometric detection. In ad- Xylariales dition, ITS nrDNA sequences of the cultures were generated and compared to those of representative Xylariaceae taxa, to evaluate the phylogenetic affinities of this fungus. The results showed that R. angolense is closely related to the daldinoid Xylariaceae, and in particular to the predominantly neotropical genera Phylacia and Thamnomyces.

On the Ecology and Evolution of Microorganisms Associated with Fungus-Growing Termites
On the ecology and evolution of microorganisms associated with fungus-growing termites Anna A. Visser Propositions 1 Showing the occurrence of a certain organism in a mutualistic symbiosis does not prove a specific role of this organism for that mutualism, as is illustrated by Actinobacteria species occurring in fungus-growing termite nests. (this thesis) 2 Instead of playing a role as mutualistic symbiont, Pseudoxylaria behaves like a weed, competing for the fungus-comb substrate and forcing termites to do regular gardening lest it overgrows their Termitomyces monoculture. (this thesis) 3 Citing colleagues who are no longer active must be considered as an act of true altruism. 4 The overload of literature on recent ‘discoveries’ blinds us from old literature, causing researchers to neglect what was already known and possibly duplicate investigations. 5 Keys to evolution of knowledge lie in recognizing the truth of one’s intuition, and extending the limits of one’s imagination. 6 The presumed creative superiority of left-handed people (Newland 1981), said to be the result of more communication between both sides of the brain, might rather be the result of lifelong selection on finding creative solutions to survive in a right-hand biased environment. 7 An understanding of ‘why good ideas usually come by the time time is running out and how to manage this’, would greatly improve people’s intellectual output and the condition in which they perform.
