Mollisiaceae: An overlooked lineage of diverse endophytes

Abstract: Mollisia is a taxonomically neglected discomycete genus ( Helotiales, Leotiomycetes ) of commonly encountered saprotrophs on decaying plant tissues throughout temperate regions. The combination of indistinct morphological characters, more than 700 names in the literature, and lack of reference DNA sequences presents a major challenge when working with Mollisia . Unidentified endophytes, including strains that produced antifungal or antiinsectan secondary… Show more

“…Based on a megablast search of NCBIs GenBank nucleotide database, the ITS sequence has low similarity with several unidentified Chaetothyriales strains (e.g., GenBank KX822488.1, identities 566/690 (82 %), 43 gaps (6 %); GenBank KF614863.1, identities 566/690 (82 %), 43 gaps (6 %); Gen-Bank KF614863.1, identities 566/690 (82 %), 43 gaps (6 %)) and with Cladophialophora immunda (GenBank MH864254.1, identities 580/715 (81 %), 57 gaps (7 %)). However, the low identity values result from a long insert at the 3' end of the 18S rDNA gene, similarly to what has been found in other fungi (e.g., Tedersoo et al 2015, Cross et al 2017, but that is not present in most GenBank records. When analysing only the partial ITS1 region (nt 551-679) that is homologous to other sequences in GenBank, the megablast search yields highest similarity with 15 environmental sequences originating from a single study (e.g., GenBank MF793689.1, identities 129/129 (100 %), no gaps), and to two unidentified fungi (GenBank MG592689.1, identities 129/129 (100 %), no gaps; GenBank GQ996076.1, identities 127/129 (98 %), 1 gap (0 %)) and two Cladophialophora sp.…”

“…Ophiostomataceae have been associated with wounds on hardwood trees in Poland [ 55 ]. Phaeoacremonium species occurred on European olive, quince and willow [ 27 ]; Phialocephala on rotten deciduous wood [ 56 ]; Phoma on the decaying wood of oak and pine [ 57 ]; Plagiostoma in the stems, twigs, and branches of woody and herbaceous plants from a wide range of plants in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere [ 58 , 59 ]. Pleurophoma ossicola occurred in Scots pine [ 60 ], and Pyrenochaeta occurred in oak [ 57 ].…”
