genus trichoderma is a monophyletic fungus which some their species is known as biocontrol agent. this study was carried out for phylogenetic analysis of some isolates of the genus trichoderma. in this study 73 sequences (including 33 sequences from t. aspereluum, t. brevicompactum, t. capillare, t. harzianum, t. koningiopsis, t. pleuroticola and t. virens and 40 sequences obtained from geneban...

Abstract The systematic position of the enigmatically mycoparasitic genus Squamanita ( Agaricales , Basidiomycota ) together with Cystoderma Phaeolepiota Floccularia and Leucopholiota is largely unknown. Recently they were recognized as Squamanitaceae but previous studies used few DNA markers from a restricted sample taxa family lacked formal taxonomic treatment. In this study, newly generated ...

Trametes is a cosmopolitan genus of white rot polypores, including the "turkey tail" fungus, T. versicolor. Although Trametes is one of the most familiar genera of polypores, its species-level taxonomy is unsettled. The ITS region is the most commonly used molecular marker for species delimitation in fungi, but it has been shown to have a low molecular variation in Trametes resulting in poorly ...

The members of Amanita sect. Phalloideae (Fr.) Quél. are responsible for many fatalities worldwide. However, some species in this section have previously been reported as non-lethal and lacking deadly toxins. Sequences five genes (ITS, nrLSU, RPB2, TEF1-α, TUB2) belonging to the from tropical Africa, America, Asia, Australia, Europe were included study elucidate phylogenetic relationships among...

Members of the genus Plagiostoma inhabit leaves, stems, twigs, and branches of woody and herbaceous plants predominantly in the temperate Northern Hemisphere. An account of all known species of Plagiostoma including Cryptodiaporthe is presented based on analyses of morphological, cultural, and DNA sequence data. Multigene phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences from four genes (β-tubulin, ITS, r...

The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei was shown to secrete active cellobiohydrolase I and the endoglucanase I catalytic core domain into the culture medium when the fungus was grown on glucose-containing medium. The expression of the proteins was driven by the promoters of the elongation factor 1 alpha, tef1, and the unidentified gene for cDNA1. The cDNA1 promoter gave the best yields. The ...

Phlebiopsis gigantea (Fr.) Jülich is a well-known generalist conifer wood saprobe and biocontrol fungus used in several world countries to prevent stump infection by tree pathogenic Heterobasidion fungal species. Previous studies have reported the presence of regional continental genetic differentiation host-specific fungi, but such for saprobes as P. has not been often studied or demonstrated....

Some species of Trichoderma are fungicolous on fungi and have been extensively studied and commercialized as biocontrol agents. Multigene analyses coupled with morphology, resulted in the discovery of T. hypoxylon sp. nov., which was isolated from surface of the stroma of Hypoxylon anthochroum. The new taxon produces Trichoderma- to Verticillium-like conidiophores and hyaline conidia. Phylogene...

Lentinula edodes, one of the most important edible mushrooms in China, is affected heavily by the infection of green mold that overgrows mushroom mycelia. We collected the diseased samples from main L. edodes cultivation regions in China to characterize the pathogen and to study the effect of Trichoderma spp. on L. edodes species. We identified six Trichoderma species, that is, T. harzianum, T....
