“…From Solitario zone, 4.6 -0.15% of the species were 'sterile mycelium'. In relation with Antarctic ecosystem (MÖLLER and DREYFUSS 1996), sterile mycelia found both in Veado (118 -3.9%) and Solitario (66 -4.9%) formed a small proportion of isolates (Tables 2 and 3). In relation with tropical ecosystems (FOKKEMA 1991, BILLS andPOLISHOOK 1994) the ratio of sterile mycelia was similar.…”

“…The numbers of taxa of psychrophilic and psychrotolerant fungi recorded on Beaufort Island were 9 and 5, respectively. Robinson (2001) highlighted the predominance of psychrotolerance in the mycobiota of the Arctic and Antarctic noting that, although the most of fungi isolated from the Antarctic are able to grow at around 0°C, the temperature of substrata in some periods of the year can be much higher than the air temperature (see also Möller et Dreyfuss 1996). Azmi et Seppelt (1998) observed that fungal diversity was low in guaniferous soil in the centre of active penguin colonies.…”

This paper presents the results of a biodiversity study of microfungi in ornithogenic soils from Beaufort Island (Ross Sea, continental Antarctic). During the 2004/05 austral summer, we sampled a wide range of soil habitats from an abandoned penguin rookeries to examine the biodiversity of soil microfungi. Beaufort Island is predominantly ice and snow covered, isolated, difficult to access and known to have been visited only infrequently. Warcup's soil plating method was used for fungal cultivation. A total of ten fungal taxa were isolated, consisting of seven ascomycetes, two anamorphic fungi and one yeast. In terms of their thermal classes, a total of four psychrophilic, five psychrotolerant and 1 mesophilic fungi were isolated. Thelebolus microsporus, Geomyces sp. and Thelebolus sp. were the most common isolated fungi. Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and 18S rDNA sequences were obtained from 17 fungal isolates, confirming their identification as Thelebolus microsporus, Thelebolus sp., Phoma herbarum and Geomyces sp.

“…alba, a species isolated from the heartwood of beech (van Beyma Thoe Kingma 1943) that produces ampulliform phialides with inconspicuous collarettes and subglobose hyaline conidia. Phialophora alba is poorly represented in culture collections, and the name has been applied to few isolates apart from a phialophora-like species from diseased kiwifruit wood in New Zealand (Johnston et al 2010) and a limited number of strains from coldtemperature environments, freshwater sediments, and wood (Ayer and Trifonov 1994;Möller and Dreyfuss 1996;Ravelet et al 2001;Singh and Singh 2012). Isolates of Ph.…”

PhialophorasectionCatenulataedisassembled: New genera, species, and combinations and a new family encompassing taxa with cleistothecial ascomata and phialidic asexual states

The Pleuroascaceae (Leotiomycetes) is introduced for Phialophora hyalina (section Catenulatae) and its closest relatives based on analyses of DNA sequences of five gene regions and the comparison of cultural and micromorphological characters. The family is resolved as a strongly supported clade that encompasses Pleuroascus and the new anamorph genera Entimomentora and Venustampulla. The latter includes V. parva, a species placed formerly in Scopulariopsis, and V. echinocandica, which is established for the echinocandin-producing isolate BP-5553. Entimomentora includes E. hyalina, a species based on the ex-type strain of Ph. hyalina. Additional isolates identified as Ph. hyalina are distantly related to the Pleuroacaceae and include Psychrophila antarctica (Arachnopezizaceae) and Cryonesomyces dreyfussii, the sole member of the new genus Cryonesomyces (incertae sedis). Isolates identified or deposited as Ph. alba are also not closely related; they include a species for which we propose the name Neobulgaria koningiana (Gelatinodiscaceae) and a second psychrophilic species that we describe as Psychrophila lagodekhiensis. Of the 13 isolates assessed for in vitro antifungal activity, only V. echinocandica inhibited the growth of Candida albicans.
