Data Partitions, Bayesian Analysis and Phylogeny of the Zygomycetous Fungal Family Mortierellaceae, Inferred from Nuclear Ribosomal DNA Sequences

Abstract: Although the fungal order Mortierellales constitutes one of the largest classical groups of Zygomycota, its phylogeny is poorly understood and no modern taxonomic revision is currently available. In the present study, 90 type and reference strains were used to infer a comprehensive phylogeny of Mortierellales from the sequence data of the complete ITS region and the LSU and SSU genes with a special attention to the monophyly of the genus Mortierella. Out of 15 alternative partitioning strategies compared on th… Show more

“…Due to lacking species material the newly proposed and described genus Echinochlamydosporium (Jiang et al 2011) was also excluded from the current analysis. Although the pre-molecular classification schemes defined morphologically well-supported clades (Linnemann 1941, Zycha et al 1969, Gams 1977) these clades could not be retained in any molecular based analyses (White et al 2006, Petkovits et al 2011, this study). The present study extended a previous study by addition of sequence information for 407 specimens.…”

“…According to previous studies (White et al 2006, Petkovits et al 2011), the major genus of the Mortierellales , Mortierella , appears as paraphyletic genus since the genera, Dissophora , Gamsiella and Lobosporangium are nested within. Since there is no sequence data or living material available for Aquamortierella and Modicella (White et al 2006) these genera were not included.…”

“…It is already well known that the large genera of asexual species Candida and Cryptococcus are polyphyletic (54). Other large genera, like Mortierella (55) and Mucor (56), also require revision. Thus, given the poorly defined boundaries of some genera and lack of ITS variability in several species, classifying an unknown ITS sequence to species, and sometimes genus rank will not always produce a definitive answer.…”

“…Not even the famous Early Devonian Rhynie chert (~410 Ma), which is the single-most important source of information on fossil fungi to date relative to paleoecosystem functioning (Taylor et al 2004), has produced conclusive evidence of zygomycetous fungi. As a result, efforts in reconstructing the evolutionary history and phylogeny of the zygomycetous fungi or of lineages within this group are to date based exclusively on the analysis of extant members (e.g., White et al 2006, Liu et al 2009, Petkovits et al 2011). …”
