文摘During our survey on marine-based ascomycetes of southern Thailand,fallen mangrove twigs were collected from the intertidal zones.Those specimens yielded a novel asexual morph of Jattaea(Calosphaeriaceae,Calosphaeriales),Jattaea bruguierae,which is confirmed as a new species by morphological characteristics such as nature and measurements of conidia and conidiophores,as well as a multigene analysis based on combined LSU,SSU,ITS andβ-tubulin sequence data.Jattaea species are abundantly found from wood in terrestrial environments,while the asexual morphs are mostly reported from axenic cultures.Jattaea bruguierae is the first documentation of an asexual morph species from marine-habitats.
文摘Bamboos not only provide socio-economic benefits to communities within the region,but also provide ecosystem services such as soil-water conservation,stabilization of sandy soils and restoration of soil nutrients.Bambusicolous ascomycetes refer to ascomycetous fungi living on any substrate of bamboo.As the largest group of fungi on bamboo,they play a significant ecological value in species composition and the structure of the fungal community,circulation of materials and energy flow of nutritional elements.In an effort to document the bambusicolous Ascomycota found in China,we assessed all major sources of academic literature,journal papers,and the USDA database(https://nt.ars-grin.gov/fungaldatabases/fungushost/fungushost.cfm)for reports of these fungi from China.As a result,we produced a systematic and comprehensive checklist of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China.Current names of fungi,bamboo host name,bamboo substrate,details of collected localities,references and latest classification for every bambusicolous ascomycete in China are also provided.In addition,we focused on the species richness of bambusicolous Ascomycota in China with an emphasis on southwest China.

文摘Species with relatively small,membraneous,black ascomata,with or without long necks,unitunicate,cylindrical asci with apical rings and fusiform,hyaline ascospores with or without mucilaginous sheaths are common in freshwater habitats in tropical and temperate regions.Many of these taxa have originally been recorded as Annulatascaceae-like taxa.Twenty genera have been included in the family Annulatascaceae,mostly based on morphological characters,while molecular work and phylogenetic analyses are lacking for many genera.In this study,nine new Annulatascaceae-like taxa collected from Thailand were morphologically examined.Pure cultures obtained from single ascospores were used in molecular studies.The nine new strains and several other strains of Annulatascaceae-like Sordariomycetes species were used to establish phylogenetic and evolution relationships among the taxa,based on combined LSU,SSU,ITS and RPB2 sequence data.Phylogenetic analyses provide evidence to introduce one new order and six new families,to accommodate taxa excluded from Annulatascaceae sensu stricto.A new order Atractosporales is established based on the molecular study,including three new introduced families Conlariaceae,Pseudoproboscisporaceae and Atractosporaceae.Conlariaceae is introduced for the genus Conlarium which comprises two species,Conlarium duplumascosporun and a new Hyphomycetous asexual morph taxon Conlarium aquaticum which has subglobose or irregular,brown,clathrate,muriform conidia.Pseudoproboscisporaceae includes Pseudoproboscispora and Diluviicola,while Atractosporaceae includes the genera Rubellisphaeria and Atractospora.Barbatosphaeria,Xylomelasma and Ceratostomella form a distinct stable lineage which is introduced as a new family Barbatosphaeriaceae in Diaporthomycetidae families incertae sedis.A new family Lentomitellaceae is introduced in Diaporthomycetidae families incertae sedis,to accommodate the genus Lentomitella.Woswasiaceae is introduced to accommodate Woswasia,Xylochrysis and Cyanoannulus in Diaporthomycetidae families incertae sedis.Three new species of Fluminicola viz.F.saprophytica,F.thailandensis and F.aquatica are introduced.A new sexual morph,Dictyosporella thailandensis,is reported and Dictyosporella is excluded from Annulatascaceae and placed in Diaporthomycetidae genera incertae sedis.The first sexual morph of Sporidesmium,S.thailandense is also described.The new species Atractospora thailandensis,Diluviicola aquatica and Pseudoproboscispora thailandensis are also introduced.Platytrachelon is added to Papulosaceae based on phylogenetic analysis and morphological characters.Aquaticola,Fusoidispora and Pseudoannulatascus are excluded from Annulatascaceae and placed in Diaporthomycetidae genera incertae sedis.Mirannulata is accommodated in Sordariomycetes,genera incertae sedis.

文摘Sordariomycetes is one of the largest classes of Ascomycota that comprises a highly diverse range of fungi mainly characterized by perithecial ascomata and inoperculate unitunicate asci.Freshwater Sordariomycetes play an important role in ecosystems and some of them have the potential to produce bioactive compounds.This study documents and reviews the freshwater Sordariomycetes,which is one of the largest and important groups of fungi in aquatic habitats.Based on evidence from DNA sequence data and morphology,we introduce a new order Distoseptisporales,two new families,viz.Ceratosphaeriaceae and Triadelphiaceae,three new genera,viz.Aquafiliformis,Dematiosporium and Neospadicoides,47 new species,viz.Acrodictys fluminicola,Aquafiliformis lignicola,Aquapteridospora fusiformis,Arthrinium aquaticum,Ascosacculus fusiformis,Atractospora aquatica,Barbatosphaeria lignicola,Ceratosphaeria aquatica,C.lignicola,Chaetosphaeria aquatica,Ch.catenulata,Ch.guttulata,Ch.submersa,Codinaea yunnanensis,Conioscypha aquatica,C.submersa,Cordana aquatica,C.lignicola,Cosmospora aquatica,Cylindrotrichum submersum,Dematiosporium aquaticum,Dictyochaeta cangshanensis,D.ellipsoidea,D.lignicola,D.submersa,Distoseptispora appendiculata,D.lignicola,D.neorostrata,D.obclavata,Hypoxylon lignicola,Lepteutypa aquatica,Myrmecridium aquaticum,Neospadicoides aquatica,N.lignicola,N.yunnanensis,Ophioceras submersum,Peroneutypa lignicola,Phaeoisaria filiformis,Pseudostanjehughesia lignicola,Rhodoveronaea aquatica,Seiridium aquaticum,Sporidesmiella aquatica,Sporidesmium lageniforme,S.lignicola,Tainosphaeria lunata,T.obclavata,Wongia aquatica,two new combinations,viz.Acrodictys aquatica,Cylindrotrichum aquaticum,and 9 new records,viz.Chaetomium globosum,Chaetosphaeria cubensis,Ch.myriocarpa,Cordana abramovii,Co.terrestris,Cuspidatispora xiphiago,Sporidesmiella hyalosperma,Stachybotrys chartarum,S.chlorohalonata.A comprehensive classification of the freshwater Sordariomycetes is presented based on updated literature.Phylogenetic inferences based on DNA sequence analyses of a combined LSU,SSU,RPB2 and TEF1a dataset comprising species of freshwater Sordariomycetes are provided.Detailed information including their habitats distribution,diversity,holotype,specimens collected and classification are provided.

文摘During a north–south latitudinal survey of aquatic fungi on submerged wood and herbaceous material in streams in the Asian region,we collected several hyphomycetous taxa.This paper is part of a series where we provide illustrated accounts of these taxa and place them in a natural classification in the fungi.DNA sequence based phylogenies in recent literature have shown that Dendryphion,Sporidesmium and Torula-like species are polyphyletic in the phylum Ascomycota and their taxonomyhas been problematic due to a lack of understanding of the importance of morphological characters used to delimit taxa,as well as the lack of ex-type or reference strains.Based on multi-locus phylogenies together with morphology,we propose the novel family Distoseptisporaceae(Sordariomycetes)and three novel genera Neotorula(Pleosporales,Dothideomycetes),Distoseptispora(Sordariomycetes)and Pseudosporidesmium(Sordariomycetes).In addition,Dendryphion aquaticum,D.submersum,Distoseptispora fluminicola,D.aquatica,Kirschsteiniothelia submersa,Neotorula aquatica,Sporidesmium aquaticum,S.submersum and S.fluminicola are introduced as new species.Pseudosporidesmium knawiae comb.nov.is proposed to accommodate Sporidesmium knawiae in Sordariomycetes.The polyphyletic nature of Dendryphion,Sporidesmium and Torula-like species are partially resolved,but further sampling with fresh collections and molecular data of species are needed to obtain a natural classification.
文摘Astrosphaeriella sensu lato is a common genus occurring on bamboo,palms and stout grasses.Species of Astrosphaeriella have been collected from various countries in tropical,subtropical or temperate regions.In Asia,species have been collected in Brunei,China,Indonesia,Japan,Philippines and Vietnam.There have been several morphological studies on Astrosphaeriella,but molecular work and phylogenetic analyses are generally lacking.Taxa included in Astrosphaeriella were characterized in three main groups 1)typical Astrosphaeriella species(sensu stricto)having carbonaceous,erumpent,conical ascostromata 2)atypical Astrosphaeriella species(sensu lato)having immersed,coriaceous ascostromata with short to long papilla and 3)lophiostoma-like species having immersed ascostromata with slit-like openings.Some of the latter Astrosphaeriella species,having slit-like openings,have been transferred to Fissuroma and Rimora in Aigialaceae.In this study five type specimens of Astrosphaeriella were loaned from herbaria worldwide and re-examined and are re-described and illustrated.Collections of Astrosphaeriella were also made in Thailand and morphologically examined.Pure cultures were obtained from single spores and used in molecular studies.The asexual morph was induced on sterile bamboo pieces placed on water agar.Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU,SSU and TEF1 sequence data of astrosphaeriella-like species using Bayesian,Maximum parsimony(MP)and Randomized Accelerated Maximum Likelihood(RAxML)analyses were carried out.Phylogenetic analyses show that species of Astrosphaeriella can be distinguished in at least three families.Species of Astrosphaeriella sensu stricto with erumpent,carbonaceous ascostromata,form a strongly supported clade with Pteridiospora species and a new family,Astrosphaeriellaceae,is introduced to accommodate these taxa.The genera are revised and Astrosphaeriella bambusae,A.neofusispora,A.neostellata,A.thailandica,A.thysanolaenae and Pteridiospora chiangraiensis are introduced as new species.Astrosphaeriella exorrhiza is reported on a dead stem of Thysanolaena maxima and is the first record for Thailand.Reference specimens for A.fusispora and A.tornata are designated to stabilize the taxonomy of Astrosphaeriella.The coelomycetous asexual morph of A.bambusae is reported and forms hyaline,globose to subglobose,aseptate conidia.Species of Astrosphaeriella sensu lato with immersed,coriaceous ascostromata,with short to long papilla and striate ascospores,form a sister clade with Tetraplosphaeriaceae.The genus Pseudoastrosphaeriella is introduced to accommodate some of these taxa with three new species and three new combinations,viz.P.aequatoriensis,P.africana,P.bambusae,P.longicolla,P.papillata and P.thailandensis.A new family Pseudoastrosphaeriellaceae is introduced to accommodate this presently monotypic lineage comprising Pseudoastrosphaeriella.The asexual morph of P.thailandensis is described.Astrosphaeriella bakeriana forms a distinct clade basal to Aigialaceae.Astrosphaeriella bakeriana is excluded from Astrosphaeriella and a new genus Astrosphaeriellopsis,placed in Dothideomycetes genera incertae sedis,is introduced to accommodate this taxon.Fissuroma aggregata(Aigialaceae)is re-visited and is shown to be a cryptic species.Three new species of Fissuroma and a new combination are introduced based on morphology and phylogeny viz.F.bambusae,F.fissuristoma,F.neoaggregata and F.thailandicum.The asexual morph of Fissuroma bambusae is also reported.

文摘This article provides morphological descriptions and illustrations of microfungi associated with the invasive weed,Chro-molaena odorata,which were mainly collected in northern Thailand.Seventy-seven taxa distributed in ten orders,23 families(of which Neomassarinaceae is new),12 new genera(Chromolaenicola,Chromolaenomyces,Longiappendispora,Pseudocapulatispora,Murichromolaenicola,Neoophiobolus,Paraleptospora,Pseudoroussoella,Pseudostaurosphaeria,Pseudothyridariella,Setoarthopyrenia,Xenoroussoella),47 new species(Aplosporella chromolaenae,Arthrinium chromolae-nae,Chromolaenicola chiangraiensis,C.lampangensis,C.nanensis,C.thailandensis,Chromolaenomyces appendiculatus,Diaporthe chromolaenae,Didymella chromolaenae,Dyfrolomyces chromolaenae,Leptospora chromolaenae,L.phraeana,Longiappendispora chromolaenae,Memnoniella chromolaenae,Montagnula chiangraiensis,M.chromolaenae,M.chromo-laenicola,M.thailandica,Murichromolaenicola chiangraiensis,M.chromolaenae,Muyocopron chromolaenae,M.chromo-laenicola,Neomassarina chromolaenae,Neoophiobolus chromolaenae,Neopyrenochaeta chiangraiensis,N.chromolaenae,N.thailandica,N.triseptatispora,Nigrograna chromolaenae,Nothophoma chromolaenae,Paraleptospora chromolaenae,P.chromolaenicola,Patellaria chromolaenae,Pseudocapulatispora longiappendiculata,Pseudoroussoella chromolaenae,Pseudostaurosphaeria chromolaenae,P.chromolaenicola,Pseudothyridariella chromolaenae,Pyrenochaetopsis chromolae-nae,Rhytidhysteron chromolaenae,Setoarthopyrenia chromolaenae,Sphaeropsis chromolaenicola,Tremateia chiangraiensis,T.chromolaenae,T.thailandensis,Xenoroussoella triseptata,Yunnanensis chromolaenae),12 new host records,three new taxonomic combinations(Chromolaenicola siamensis,Pseudoroussoella elaeicola,Pseudothyridariella mahakashae),and two reference specimens(Torula chromolaenae,T.fici)are described and illustrated.Unlike some other hosts,e.g.bamboo(Poaceae)and Pandanaceae,the dominant group of fungi on Siam weed were Dothideomycetes.Only 15 species previously recorded from northern Thailand were found in this study.Most of the taxa are likely to have jumped hosts from surrounding plants and are unlikely to be a specialist to Siam weed.Most fungal families found on Siam weed had divergence estimates with stem ages in the Cretaceous,which coincided with the expected origin of the host family(Asteraceae).This further indicates that the species have jumped hosts,as it is unlikely that the taxa on the alien Siam weed came from the Americas with its host.They may,however,have jumped from other Asteraceae hosts.In a preliminary screening 40(65%)of the 62 species tested showed antimicrobial activity and thus,the fungi associated with C.odorata may be promising sources of novel bioactive compound discovery.We provide a checklist of fungi associated with C.odorata based on the USDA Systematic Mycology and Microbiology Laboratory(SMML)database,relevant literature and our study.In total,130 taxa(116 identified and 14 unidentified species)are distributed in 20 orders,48 families and 85 genera.Pseudocercospora is the most commonly encountered genus on Siam weed.
文摘This paper provides illustrated descriptions of micro-fungi newly found on Pandanaceae in China and Thailand.The fungi are accommodated in 31 families.New taxa described include a new family,seven new genera,65 new species,16 previously known species.A new family:Malaysiascaceae(Glomerellales).New genera are Acremoniisimulans(Plec-tosphaerellaceae),Pandanaceomyces,Pseudoachroiostachy(Nectriaceae),Pseudohyaloseta(Niessliaceae),Pseudoor-natispora(Stachybotriaceae)and Yunnanomyces(Sympoventuriaceae).New species are Acremoniisimulans thailandensis,Beltrania krabiensis,Beltraniella pandanicola,B.thailandicus,Canalisporium krabiense,C.thailandensis,Clonostachys krabiensis,Curvularia chonburiensis,C.pandanicola,C.thailandicum,C.xishuangbannaensis,Cylindrocladiella xishuangbannaensis,Dictyochaeta pandanicola,Dictyocheirospora nabanheensis,D.pandanicola,D.xishuangbannaen-sis,Dictyosporium appendiculatum,Di.guttulatum,Di.hongkongensis,Di.krabiense,Di.pandanicola,Distoseptispora thailandica,D.xishuangbannaensis,Helicoma freycinetiae,Hermatomyces biconisporus,Lasiodiplodia chonburiensis,L.pandanicola,Lasionectria krabiense,Menisporopsis pandanicola,Montagnula krabiensis,Musicillium pandanicola,Neofusicoccum pandanicola,Neohelicomyces pandanicola,Neooccultibambusa thailandensis,Neopestalotiopsis chiang-maiensis,N.pandanicola,N.phangngaensis,Pandanaceomyces krabiensis,Paracylindrocarpon nabanheensis,P.pan-danicola,P.xishuangbannaensis,Parasarcopodium hongkongensis,Pestalotiopsis krabiensis,P.pandanicola,Polyplosphaeria nabanheensis,P.pandanicola,P.xishuangbannaensis,Pseudoachroiostachys krabiense,Pseu-doberkleasmium pandanicola,Pseudochaetosphaeronema pandanicola,Pseudohyaloseta pandanicola,Pseudoornatispora krabiense,Pseudopithomyces pandanicola,Rostriconidium pandanicola,Sirastachys phangngaensis,Stictis pandanicola,Terriera pandanicola,Thozetella pandanicola,Tubeufia freycinetiae,T.parvispora,T.pandanicola,Vermiculariopsiella hongkongensis,Volutella krabiense,V.thailandensis and Yunnanomyces pandanicola.Previous studies of micro-fungi on Pandanaceae have not included phylogenetic support.Inspiration for this study came from the book Fungi Associated with Pandanaceae by Whitton,McKenzie and Hyde in 2012.Both studies reveal that the micro-fungi on Pandanaceae is particularly rich in hyphomycetes.All data presented herein are based on morphological examination of specimens,coupled with phylogenetic sequence data to better integrate taxa into appropriate taxonomic ranks and infer their evolu-tionary relationships.

文摘Coelomycete is a general term used for asexual fungi which produce conidia in fruiting bodies:pycnidial,acervular,cupulate,pycnothyria or stromatic conidiomata.The group contains numerous plant pathogenic,saprobic and endophytic species associated with a wide range of hosts.Traditionally,morphological characters and host associations have been used as criteria to identify and classify coelomycetes,and this has resulted in a poor understanding of their generic and species boundaries.DNA based taxonomic studies have provided a better outlook of the phylogenetic and evolutionary trends in coelomycetes.However,the present outcomes represent only a preliminary step towards the understanding of coelomycetes.Many genera have not been revisited since they were first described.The present study revises the classification of the hyaline-spored coelomycetes and provides a modern taxonomic framework based on both morphology and phylogeny.In total,248 genera were investigated,of which less than 100 are known to have sequence data.Multi-locus sequence data analyses of 28S nrDNA,18S nrDNA,ITS,RNA polymerase II second largest subunit(rpb2),and part of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene(tef1)andβ-tubulin(tub2)gene regions were analysed.As a result,three new genera and 23 new species are introduced.In addition,three new links between sexual and asexual genera are provided.There are 138 genera that lack sequence data,and these are treated as Ascomycota,genera incertae sedis.Line drawings and descriptions are provided based on the examination of types and fresh collections and on the literature.

文摘t Coelomycetous fungi are an artificial taxonomic group which produce conidia inside a cavity i.e.conidiomata.Coelomycetes comprise about,1000 genera and 7000 species,which can be endophytic,pathogenic or saprobic.Traditional classification of coelomycetes was previously based on morphology,such as the shape of conidiomata and mode of conidiogenesis,while it was treated as a distinct group i.e.Deuteromycotina.Sequence based taxonomic studies has been used to accommodate asexual fungi in a natural classification system,resolve generic boundaries of polyphyletic genera and species complexes,as well as establish asexual-sexual links.Nevertheless,most of genera lack sequence data,thus,morphology based identification is still important when introducing new genera or species.In this paper we illustrate,describe,and provide taxonomic notes for 235 dematiaceous coelomycetous genera,including five new genera viz.Apiculospora,Didymellocamarosporium,Melanocamarosporium,Melnikia and Paulkirkia.Phylogenetic analyses of combined sequence data are provided to show placements of dematiaceous coelomycetes in Dothideomycetes,Leotiomycetes and Sordariomycetes.One-hundred and fifty-two(65%)of genera have sequence data,thus,their taxonomic placement in a natural classification system,is listed as an outline.However,83 genera still lack sequence data,hence,they are treated as Ascomycota,genera incertae sedis.In addition,separate analyses are provided where better taxonomic resolution is needed.
