Trials are currently being conducted in South Africa to establish Amaranthus cruentus as a new pseudocereal crop. During recent surveys, Fusarium species were associated with weevil damage A. fields. Preliminary studies showed that some of these grouped into two distinct clades within the F. fujikuroi complex. The aim this study was characterize isolates based on morphology and phylogeny transl...

Aspergillus is one of the economically most important fungal genera. Recently, the ICN adopted the single name nomenclature which has forced mycologists to choose one name for fungi (e.g. Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium, etc.). Previously two proposals for the single name nomenclature in Aspergillus were presented: one attributes the name "Aspergillus" to clades comprising seven different te...

We examined the phylogenetic relationships of two species that mimic Chaetosphaeria in teleomorph and anamorph morphologies, Chaetosphaeriatulasneorum with a Cylindrotrichum anamorph and Australiasca queenslandica with a Dischloridium anamorph. Four data sets were analysed: a) the internal transcribed spacer region including ITS1, 5.8S rDNA and ITS2 (ITS), b) nc28S (ncLSU) rDNA, c) nc18S (ncSSU...

Abstract The order Onygenales is classified in the class Eurotiomycetes of subphylum Pezizomycotina . Families this have classically been isolated from soil and dung, two lineages contain causative agents superficial, cutaneous systemic infections mammals. ecology habitat choices species are driven mainly by keratin cellulose degradation abilities. present study aimed to investigate whether eco...

Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses were conducted to address the evolution of Clavicipitaceae (Ascomycota). Data are presented here for approximately 5900 base pairs from portions of seven loci: the nuclear ribosomal small and large subunit DNA (nrSSU and nrLSU), beta-tubulin, elongation factor 1alpha (EF-1alpha), the largest and second largest subunits of RNA polymerase II (RPB1 and RPB2), and m...

A revision of Fusarium-like species associated with the plant genus Buxus led to a reconsideration of generic concepts in the Fusarium clade of the Nectriaceae. Phylogenetic analyses of the partial second largest subunit of the RNA polymerase II (rpb2) and the larger subunit of the ATP citrate lyase (acl1) gene exons confirm the existence of a clade, here called the terminal Fusarium clade, tha...

Abstract The current study is dedicated to the taxonomy of genus Phylacia ( Hypoxylaceae ) in Argentina. Fieldwork north country provided several fresh collections that were studied, using a polyphasic approach. secondary metabolite profiles specimens generated by high-performance liquid chromatography hyphenated diode array and mass spectrometry (HPLC–DAD/MS) stromata. This confirmed presence ...

Fungi in the Nidulariaceae, otherwise known as ‘bird's nest fungi’, are among least studied groups of Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota). Bird's fungi globally distributed and typically grow on woody debris or animal dung saprotrophs. This group is morphologically diverse with ca. 200 described species. Phylogenetic relationships bird's were investigated four commonly used loci (ITS, LSU, tef, rpb2...
