“…Vanrija humicola was located outside of the Trichosporon species, which has been reported previously [ 2 , 5 , 6 , 21 , 23 ]. As described above, Weiss et al [ 6 ] proposed the use of genus Vanrijia as the genus name, and we follow their suggestion in this report. The genus Vanrija sensu Moore [ 7 ] is polyphyletic; thus the emendation and subsequent reclassification including new combinations is required.…”

“…Each is traditionally characterized based on a combination of serological properties (serogroup) and the major ubiquinone (as the phenotype), as shown in Fig 1a . In the Cryptococcus species mentioned above, Weiss et al [ 6 ] recently reported the amended concept of the genus Vanrija [ 7 ] by following several discussions on this group [ 2 , 3 , 5 ], and proposed the use of Vanrija as the genus name for Cryptococcus humicola and phylogenetically related species.…”

The order Trichosporonales (Tremellomycotina, Basidiomycota) includes various species that have clinical, agricultural and biotechnological value. Thus, understanding why and how evolutionary diversification occurred within this order is extremely important. This study clarified the phylogenetic relationships among Tricosporonales species. To select genes suitable for phylogenetic analysis, we determined the draft genomes of 17 Trichosporonales species and extracted 30 protein-coding DNA sequences (CDSs) from genomic data. The CDS regions of Trichosporon asahii and T. faecale were identified by referring to mRNA sequence data since the intron positions of the respective genes differed from those of Cryptococcus neoformans (outgroup) and are not conserved within this order. A multiple alignment of the respective gene was first constructed using the CDSs of T. asahii, T. faecale and C. neoformans, and those of other species were added and aligned based on codons. The phylogenetic trees were constructed based on each gene and a concatenated alignment. Resolution of the maximum-likelihood trees estimated from the concatenated dataset based on both nucleotide (72,531) and amino acid (24,173) sequences were greater than in previous reports. In addition, we found that several genes, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase TOR1 and glutamate synthase (NADH), had good resolution in this group (even when used alone). Our study proposes a set of genes suitable for constructing a phylogenetic tree with high resolution to examine evolutionary diversification in Trichosporonales. These can also be used for epidemiological and biogeographical studies, and may also serve as the basis for a comprehensive reclassification of pleomorphic fungi.

“…The mushroomforming species in the Tremellomycetes and Dacrymycetes are paraphyletic jelly fungi to the Auriculariales and the Sebacinales from the Agaricomycetes . The gelatinous to cartilaginous basidiomes of Tremellomycetes (Bandoni and Ginns, 1998;Esser, 2000;Vizzini, 2007;Millanes et al, 2011;Weiss et al, 2014) and Dacrymycetes (Sierra and Cifuentes, 2005;Shirouzu et al, 2009;Oberwinkler, 2014) are less complex structured compared to the elaborately textured fruiting bodies of most of the Agaricomycetes (Cooke and Berkeley, 1875;Breitenbach and Kr€ anzlin, 1986Figs 1e5). The focus of this review is on fruiting body formation in Agaricomycetes given the frequency and variable complexity of the structures in this grouping and that this grouping is the best explored from a research viewpoint.…”

Description of four Apiotrichum and two Cutaneotrichosporon species isolated from guano samples from bat-inhabited caves in Japan

Four new yeast species belonging to the genus Apiotrichum and two new yeast species belonging to Cutaneotrichosporon are described for strains isolated from guano samples from bat-inhabited caves in Japan. In 2005, we reported these isolates as Trichosporon species based on sequence analyses of the D1/D2 domain of large subunit (LSU) rRNA genes according to available basidiomycetous yeast classification criteria; however, to date, they have not been officially published as new species with descriptions. Their phylogenetic positions have been reanalysed based on comparison of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region sequences (including the 5.8S rRNA gene) and the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA gene with those of known species; we confirmed clear separation from previously described species. Physiological and biochemical properties of the isolates also suggest their distinctiveness. Therefore, we describe Apiotrichum akiyoshidainum (holotype JCM 12595T), Apiotrichum chiropterorum (JCM 12594T), Apiotrichum coprophilum (JCM 12596T), Apiotrichum otae (JCM 12593T), Cutaneotrichosporon cavernicola (JCM 12590T) and Cutaneotrichosporon middelhovenii (JCM 12592T) as new species. C. cavernicola showed particularly distinctive morphology including large inflated anomalous cells on the hyphae and germination from the cells, although clear clamp connections on the hyphae were not confirmed. Further study is needed to elucidate the morph of this species.
