“…Our observations of conidia in culture (15.5-19.5 × 2-3 µm with setulae 4.5-7.5 µm long) correspond to the conidia from nature in the protologue (15-18 × 2.4-3.1 µm with setulae 4.3-5.7 µm long) [9]. Cruz et al [70] reported specimens of A. novae-zelandiae on decaying leaves and petioles in Brazil with smaller conidia and shorter setulae (9.5-11 × 1-1.5 µm, setulae 3-5 µm long). Two of our Thailand strains (CBS 147509, CBS 147510), tentatively identified as A. novae-zelandiae, have longer conidia (18.5-23 × 2.5-3.5 µm) with longer setulae (6-10 µm) and correspond to the measurements given for this species by Matsushima [71].…”

“…CBS 694.74 and MUCL 43189 treated as separate species. Arcuatospora novae-zelandiae with shorter conidia from Brazil [70], for which DNA data are not available, probably represents another undescribed species based on morphology. Based on many published records, A. novae-zelandiae appears to be a common species with a widespread geographical distribution in subtropical and tropical regions.…”

The genera Menisporopsis, Multiguttulispora and Tainosphaeria (Chaetosphaeriaceae) are saprobes inhabiting decaying plant material. This study is based on an integrated morpho-molecular characterisation to assess their generic concepts and explore phylogenetic relationships. Menisporopsis is revealed as polyphyletic, and species with 1-septate conidia and synnemata growing unilaterally along the seta are placed in the new segregate genus Arcuatospora. Codinaea dimorpha and C. triseptata are shown to be congeneric with Multiguttulispora sympodialis, the type species. Two new combinations are proposed: M. sympodialis is found conspecific with M. dimorpha. The Tainosphaeria complex is resolved into three genera. We found that the morphological separation of three groups within the genus is consistent with phylogenetic relationships. Tainosphaeria s. str. is accepted with five species. Tainosphaeria aseptata and T. lunata are transferred to the newly erected Phialoturbella, whereas T. obclavata is revealed as conspecific with Phialogeniculata guadalcanalensis, reducing it to a synonym. A new genus Flectospora is erected for a chloridium-like fungus nested in the Tainosphaeria clade. Based on molecular evidence, we show that asymmetrical, scolecosporous ascospores are a unique teleomorphic characteristic among family members. Therefore, we propose new combinations for Chaetosphaeria hispida in Paragaeumannomyces and Ch. spinosa in the new genus Ericiosphaeria, both exhibiting this rare morphotype.

Saprophytic synnematous microfungi. New records and known species for Mexico

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this contribution, 18 species of synnematous microfungi associated with plant debris are registered for the first time to the Mexican mycobiota. In addition, an account of the current state of knowledge of the synnematous species registered to date is presented. The taxonomic determination was carried out by morphological analysis of the specimens growing in natural substrate incubated in damp chambers. Arthrobotryum stilboideum, Blastocatena pulneyensis, Coremiella cubispora, Menisporopsis multisetula and Phaeoisaria clavulata are new records for the Neotropical region. Blastocatena pulneyensis, Menisporopsis anisospora and Roigiella lignicola, which have not been recorded since their original descriptions were also determined. Including the records of this study, a total of 40 species belonging to 28 genera of synnematous microfungi have been registered for Mexico. No information was found for most of the states in the country. For the 18 species recorded in the present study, descriptions, illustrations and information about their substrates and geographical distribution are provided. Reference material was deposited in the Herbarium of the Instituto de Ecología A.C. (XAL) in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico.

“…O gênero aeroaquático Helicosporium Nees (Webster & Descals 1981;Dix & Webster 1995;Tsui & Berbee 2006), por exemplo, já foi isolado de madeiras e folhas em ambiente terrestre no bioma Caatinga, por Cruz & Gusmão (2009a, b) e Cruz et al (2009). Esse grupo de fungos aeroaquáticos geralmente produz conídios com formas helicoidais (helicosporos), esporulando apenas quando o substrato é exposto ao ar (Webster & Descals 1981;Ando & Tubaki 1984;Alexopoulos 1996).…”

RESUMO(Alguns fungos conidiais aquáticos-facultativos do bioma Caatinga).
