New section and species in Talaromyces

Abstract

<jats:p><jats:italic>Talaromyces</jats:italic> is a monophyletic genus containing seven sections. The number of species in <jats:italic>Talaromyces</jats:italic> grows rapidly due to reliable and complete sequence data contributed from all over the world. In this study agricultural soil samples from Fujiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Shandong, Tibet and Zhejiang provinces of China were collected and analyzed for fungal diversity. Based on a polyphasic approach including phylogenetic analysis of partial ITS, <jats:italic>BenA</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>CaM</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>RPB2</jats:italic> gene sequences, macro- and micro-morphological analyses, six of them could not be assigned to any described species, and one cannot be assigned to any known sections. Morphological characters as well as their phylogenetic relationship with other <jats:italic>Talaromyces</jats:italic> species are presented for these putative new species. <jats:italic>Penicillium resedanum</jats:italic> is combined in Talaromyces section Subinflati as <jats:italic>T. resedanus</jats:italic>.</jats:p>

Discovery and Extrolite Production of Three New Species of Talaromyces Belonging to Sections Helici and Purpurei from Freshwater in Korea

“…The concatenated alignment consisted of 2407 characters (including alignment gaps): 425, 443, 687, and 852 characters used in the ITS, BenA , CaM , and RPB2 , respectively. Eight main lineages are present within Talaromyces , which agrees with the sectional classification by Yilmaz et al [ 3 ] and Sun et al [ 26 ]. In the phylogenetic analysis, a small clade containing T. brunneosporus highlighted by asterisk could not be assigned to any known sections ( Figure 1 ).…”

“…On the basis of multigene phylogeny, morphology, and physiology, Yilmaz et al [ 3 ] placed 88 accepted species in seven well-defined sections, namely, Bacillispori , Helici , Islandici , Purpurei , Subinflati , Talaromyces , and Trachyspermi . However, the lists are rapidly increasing with many new Talaromyces species recently described from all over the world and added to sections Helici , Islandici , Purpurei , Subinflati , Talaromyces , and Trachyspermi [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. To date, 171 species have been reported in the genus Talaromyces [ 27 ], of which only three species: Talaromyces angelicae , Talaromyces cnidii , and Talaromyces halophytorum were reported from Korea [ 28 , 29 ].…”

“…To date, 171 species have been reported in the genus Talaromyces [ 27 ], of which only three species: Talaromyces angelicae , Talaromyces cnidii , and Talaromyces halophytorum were reported from Korea [ 28 , 29 ]. Recently, a new section Tenues was proposed [ 26 ]. Talaromyces contains species that play an important role in agriculture and biotechnology.…”

New Species of Talaromyces (Fungi) Isolated from Soil in Southwestern China

“…Sun et al, and T. yunnanensis Doilom and C.F. Liao were later described [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. In the section (sect.)…”

Screening of Phosphate-Solubilizing Fungi From Air and Soil in Yunnan, China: Four Novel Species in Aspergillus, Gongronella, Penicillium, and Talaromyces

“…Phylogenetic analyses of ITS, BenA , CaM , and RPB2 sequence data were used to determine species delimitation ( Barbosa et al, 2018 ; Guevara-Suarez et al, 2020 ). Section Talaromyces species are usually isolated from soil, indoor air environments and humans ( Chen et al, 2016 ; Yilmaz et al, 2016 ; Lau et al, 2017 ; Pangging et al, 2019 ; Sun et al, 2020 ). We introduce the new species T. yunnanensis into the section.…”
