Editorial: Celebrating 50 years of Fungal Biodiversity Research

PW Crous ^a, ME Noordeloos ^b

The year 2009 represents the 50th anniversary of Persoonia as an international journal of mycology. Since 2008, Persoonia is a full-colour, Open Access journal, and from 2009 onwards, will also appear in PubMed, which we believe will give our authors even more exposure than that presently achieved via the two independent online websites, www.IngentaConnect.com, and www.persoonia.org. The enclosed free poster depicts the 50 most beautiful fungi published throughout the year. We hope that the poster acts as further encouragement for students and mycologists to describe and help protect our planet’s fungal biodiversity. As 2010 is the international year of biodiversity, we urge you to prominently display this poster, and help distribute the message that without fungi as basal link in the food chain, there will be no biodiversity at all.

May the Fungi be with you!

Book Review

PW Crous

W Mułenko, T Majewski, M Ruszkiewicz-Michalska. (eds). 2008. A preliminary checklist of micromycetes in Poland. Biodiversity of Poland, Vol. 9. Pp. 752; soft cover. Price 74 €. W. Szafer Institute of Botany, Polish Academy of Sciences, Lubicz, Kraków, Poland. 978-83-89648-75-4. Inline graphic

The present book forms part of the series depicting the Biodiversity of Poland. To date four published volumes of the series have been devoted to fungi, namely Basidiomycetes, Ascomycetes, lichens and lichenicolous fungi, and slime moulds. The present book covers the Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Chytridiomycota, Glomeromycota, Hypochytriomycota, Oomycota, Plasmodiophoromycota, Zygomycota, as well as anamorphic fungi which belong mostly to the Ascomycota (micromycetes), with the latter category representing the larger part of the book. In general the classification follows the latest scheme, with the various fungal orders linked to different authors. Taxa are well documented, and supported by the substrate on which they occur, numerous references, and in many cases nomenclatural synonymies and other relevant data. This represents an impressive book, which is far more than just a checklist of fungal taxa and their hosts, and will make a valuable contribution to all mycological libraries.

Book Review

PW Crous

M Gryzenhout, BD Wingfield, MJ Wingfield. . 2009. Taxonomy, phylogeny, and ecology of bark-inhabiting and tree-pathogenic fungi in the Cryphonectriaceae. Pp. 136; soft cover, 14 colour and 38 black & white plates, 16 line drawings. Price: $119.00. APS Press, 3340 Pilot Knob Road, St. Paul, MN 55121. ISBN: 978-0-89054-367-2. Inline graphic

The Cryphonectriaceae include some of the most important tree pathogens in the world. Over the years I have personally helped collect populations of some species in Africa and South America, and have witnessed the devastation that these pathogens can bestow on trees and plantations. As such it is wonderful to finally have a treatment that summarises all mycological information known about the topic to date. The book has a section treating the history of the various taxonomic genera, as well as a section covering the diseases and their ecology. Of interest to many would be the sections on pathogen identification, as well as the dichotomous and synoptic keys. The Cryphonectria complex was the PhD topic of the first author, and the notes supporting each species in the book shows that she has an intimate knowledge of all species treated. The incredible and almost fanatical ability of MJW to recollect all these taxa from all corners of the world should also be acknowledged, as without such collections new hypotheses and significant progress would not be possible. The thorough approach, and detailed illustrations and descriptions, supported by numerous cultures and specimens in publicly accessible collections, sequences in GenBank, alignments in TreeBASE, and nomenclature in MycoBank, make this a gold standard for such monographic works. The authors need to be congratulated for many years of hard work, as they have once again moved the goalposts in a new direction. Of course every book leaves room for improvement. In spite of all the appendixes and indexes, I would have appreciated a strictly alphabetical treatment of taxa. I personally hate reading instruction manuals and indexes, and simply want to find things where they should be: alphabetical. The anamorphs and teleomorphs are all named, which is superfluous in this day and age, as one name per genus is more than enough. The complex is split into 10 genera, but these are not supported by LSU data, so it remains to be seen if these genera survive the test of time. The book itself is beautiful, but the printer did not do justice to some black and white plates, as I have seen the originals. In conclusion, if you like trees and tree diseases, you should order this book – it’s a jewel, and will be the benchmark for many years to come.

Dr Machiel Noordeloos receives the Clusius Award

J Geml ^a

Dr. Machiel E. Noordeloos, mycologist at the Leiden University branch of the National Herbarium of the Netherlands, received the prestigious Clusius Award of the Hungarian Mycological Society on October 22, 2009, during the 27th International Cortinarius Conference, a six-day scientific meeting held in Nyíregyháza, Hungary, organized by the Hungarian Mycological Society.

The medal and the certificate, named after Carolus Clusius, a pioneering botanist and mycologist of the 16th and early 17th century, is awarded on special occasions to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to fungal taxonomy, marking a distinguished career in mycology. The award was presented to Machiel Noordeloos by Prof. Imre Rimóczi and Prof. Erzsébet Jakucs (President of the Hungarian Mycological Association), who praised his internationally renowned mycological work, and in particular his efforts to make his work accessible to a broad audience.

Machiel Noordeloos is one of the leading experts on fungal taxonomy, particularly that of the Agaricales and Boletales in Europe. He is the world authority on Entoloma, a speciose and morphologically and ecologically highly diverse genus. Noordeloos has been editor of the long-term Flora Agaricina Neerlandica project since 1990, a critical flora in 11 volumes of all 2200 species occurring in Western Europe. In addition, he is currently involved in monographic studies on the Entolomataceae in Europe, North America, Australia, and Malesia.

Carolus Clusius was not only the ’Erasmus of the Botanical Sciences’ but he is also regarded as the founder of mycology in connection with his pioneer mycological work on mushrooms in Central Europe. It is particularly amusing that, with Machiel Noordeloos, the award now “comes home” to Leiden, where Clusius founded the Hortus botanicus, became the first professor of Botany, and spent the last sixteen years of his life.

Prof. dr Z.A. Pretorius awarded the Christiaan Hendrik Persoon Gold Medal by the Southern African Society for Plant Pathology (SASPP)

PW Crous ^a

In January 2009 Prof. dr Z.A. (Sakkie) Pretorius (Professor and Chairperson of the Department of Plant Sciences, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa) was awarded the Persoon Gold Medal by the SASPP, in recognition for outstanding achievement in Plant Pathology.

Prof. Pretorius has been professionally involved with plant pathology for over 30 years since his appointment at the ARC - Small Grain Institute at Bethlehem in 1978. Among his many achievements in this field have been the first comprehensive and ongoing characterisation of pathogenic variation in the wheat leaf rust fungus in South Africa, identification of germplasm with effective genetic resistance (with emphasis on field resistance) to local leaf and stem rust pathotypes and the establishment of evaluation and selection protocols. By means of backcrossing, he has successfully introduced eight leaf rust resistance genes into well adapted wheat cultivars for use in larger breeding programmes in South Africa and has also identified adult-plant leaf rust resistance in wild relatives of wheat. As a result of his inputs, more directed selection or breeding for rust resistance is now possible in South Africa. The economic impact of this work is impossible to calculate but has resulted in savings of many millions of South African Rands for small grain farmers which can be illustrated by the fact that a reduction of only one spray in rust-prone areas results in a total financial saving of approximately ZAR24 million per season. Prof. Pretorius has also made major contributions to our understanding of other devastating diseases such as Puccinia striiformis on wheat, P. helianthi on sunflower, P. coronata and P. graminis on oat, P. hordei on barley, and P. sorghi on maize.

He has played an essential role in providing continuity in rust pathology in Southern Africa, and his scientific contributions have been widely recognised, as can be seen from the numerous awards he has received to date. It is thus fitting that the SASPP bestowed on him their highest honour, namely the Christiaan Hendrik Persoon Gold Medal, in recognition for a career of excellence in fungal research.

Update on Fungal DNA Barcoding Campaigns

Network for the Indoor Mycobiota Barcode of Life (IM-BOL)

About 200 culturable mould species are common in buildings in North America and Europe. The uncultured profile of indoor moulds is poorly understood. Recent studies show that uncultured fungi occur in great abundance, but their significance and frequencies remain unknown. We assembled a set of dust samples from all continents except the Antarctic, and subjected them to standard protocols for isolation and morphological identification, high throughput dilution to extinction, and to 454 pyrosequencing. The internal transcribed spacer of the ribosomal operon (ITS) was used as a standard barcoding marker in all work, but we are also mining available fungal genomes searching for barcode markers with higher resolution. About 1000 cultures have been isolated and identified using conventional techniques. The high-throughput method was adapted for house dust and implemented on the global sample, and the first set of 600 cultures is now being sequenced. First pyrosequencing results demonstrate a taxonomically diverse and geographically patterned mycobiota, with diversity higher in temperate zones than in the tropics; a subset of 36 taxa (Dothideomycetes) has a cosmopolitan distribution, with regional fungal profiles exhibiting spatial autocorrelation at national and hemispheric scales.

Quarantine Barcoding of Life (QBOL)

QBOL, a project funded by the European Commission Framework 7 Programme, is generating barcode sequences from a set of genetic regions for a selected set of quarantine organisms: arthropods, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, phytoplasms and viruses. The research on these organisms is carried out in six different work packages and more information on the whole project is available from its website, www.qbol.org. QBOL follows the European Union Directive list with all the regulated Q-organisms and the EPPO (European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization) list where 90 % of all Q-organisms are listed (A1-list with organisms that do not exist in the EU, and the A2-list of organisms that are present but controlled in Europe). The research coordinators represent organizations with a huge expertise on taxonomy as well as on sequencing activities regarding the taxa involved.

The following genera were selected from the EU Directive 2000/29/EC (8 May 2000) and EPPO (September 2008) lists for quarantine organisms important to the European Union:

– Ceratocystis (C. fagacearum; C. fimbriata f. sp. platani; C. virescens)
– Melampsora (M. farlowii; M. medusae)
– Monilinia (M. fructicola)
– Mycosphaerella (M.dearnessii; M. gibsonii; M. laricis-leptolepidis; D. populorum; Ph. angolensis; S. lycopersici var. mailagutii)
– Puccinia (P. pittieriana)
– Thecaphora (T. solani)

These selections were based on the high level of expertise present in each of the partners involved, as well the availability of starting material and related species for comparison. To have a good and efficient barcode it is very important to also have closely related species so that it is possible to identify the most effective part of a sequence that can serve as the barcode region. Other important genera (Alternaria, Colletotrichum, Guignardia, Phytophthora and Phoma) are already being addressed in other programmes (mainly in the UK and the Netherlands) and are therefore not included in the QBOL project. However, QBOL has an agreement with these programmes that their data will be made available to the QBOL fungal database. The ‘Barcoding Fungi’ work package aims to obtain effective barcode regions that can be used to accurately identify the species listed above. To achieve this, the work package aims to target at least 15 individuals (preferably from different localities) for each quarantine species and at least two individuals from three or more close relatives.

One of the more crucial parts of the project for the group is to identify a gene(s) that can be used as a reliable barcode region(s). The Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions of the nuclear ribosomal RNA genes are commonly used for fungi, but lacks barcoding resolution in some genera. For many fungi, the general tendency therefore is to use ITS as a starting marker to identify to genus or species-complex level, and then to apply an additional gene(s) to identify the species in question. A screening process is currently underway to evaluate the variation for various loci between individuals of the same species and also between different species. The hope is to find a single region suitable for the identification of all these species, but a worst-case scenario can also be envisaged where a system might need to be implemented where two regions are used. All of the reference data generated for the project will be placed in the online version of the QBOL database. If you have material that could contribute to or expand the fungal database, please contact the co-ordinator of the Barcoding Fungi work package: Ewald Groenewald (e.groenewald@cbs.knaw.nl).

Ulocladium populi E.G. Simmons, G. Newcombe & A. Shipunov, sp. nov.

Alexey Shipunov ^a, Anil Kumar Raghavendra ^b, Rebecca J Ganley ^c, George Newcombe ^d

Conidia in cultura praecoci (1–2 d) conspicue longe ovoidea vel longe ellipsoidea, ad 30–40 × 8–12 μm, 3–6 transverse septata et 1–4 longiseptata. Conidia alia abunda, obovoidea vel sphaeroidea, ad 12–18 × 10–15 μm, 1–3 transverse septata et 1–2 longe vel oblique septata. Conidiophora plerumque 25–50 × 4–5 μm, 6–8 geniculata et conidiogena; interdum ad 150 μm longa, in maturitate multigeniculata et 15–20 conidiogena.

Etymology. Named after its host, Populus trichocarpa.

Conidium production begins readily and is abundant within the first 1–2 d of hyphal development in potato-carrot agar (PCA)¹ plates. The most conspicuous sporulation elements in young growth are alternarioid; they originate with a typical apiculate ulocladioid base but become long-ovoid to long-ellipsoid and remain so in a large proportion as they mature. Unlike other Ulocladium taxa with multiplex conidium morphology described¹ alternarioid conidia of U. populi constitute a high percentage of the 5–7 d sporulation population. Conspicuously obovoid and sphaeroid conidia that develop with a narrow, typically ulocladioiod base are equally abundant but less conspicuous in 1–2 d growth. In older colonies these ulocladioid conidia dominate the population without obscuring the abundant alternarioid elements. Sporulation is extremely abundant on a turf of erect or inclined conidiophores which, however, are individually distinguishable at 50 × magn., each with an apical cluster of conidia. Most conidiophores are short, 25–50 × 4–5 μm. Each bears a solitary terminal conidium. Subsequently the conidiophore apex develops into a series of 6–8 short, consecutive, closely sympodial extensions, each with a solitary conidium. Longer conidiophores also arise at the agar surface. These are abundant but not dominant within the colony and are interspersed among the far more abundant short conidiophores. The longer conidiophores usually are branched, with each branch developing its own sympodial apical region of conidiogenous cells. The longer conidiophore complex is up to 150 μm long, commonly with a terminal cluster of 15–20 conidia. Long-ovoid and ellipsoid conidia become 30–40 × 8–12 μm with 3–6 transverse septa and a single longiseptum in each of 1–4 of the transverse segments; these alternarioid spores are smooth, rarely becoming inconspicuously ornamented in age. Obovoid and sphaeroid conidia become 12–18 × 10–15 μm with 1–3 transverse septa and 1 longitudinal or oblique septum in 1–2 of the transverse segments; the outer wall of these typically ulocladioid spores develop a densely pustulate ornamentation that often obscures internal septation in mature conidia. Conidium colour becomes a dilute dull brown, with ulocladioid conidia becoming a darker brown as ornamentation matures. Nearly all conidia remain solitary. Within the extremely large population of conidia only a rare individual generates an apical or lateral short conidiophore with 1–4 conidiogenous sites. The U. populi colony on PCA at 5–6 d under a daily light/dark cycle of 8/16 h is c. 5 cm diam with 5 pairs of concentric rings of growth and sporulation. The colony is totally conidial, in that all surface hyphae produce abundant conidiophores; non-sporulating aerial hyphae are not present. Closest species is U. atrum.

Typus. USA, Idaho, in the stem of Populus trichocarpa; holotypus: CBS H-20385, a dried culture preparation ex E.G.S. 53.001 = CBS 123360, from George Newcombe isolate no. CIDU1, Lapwai Canyon, Idaho, USA, March 2, 2005. GenBank EF589900 and EF589845, MycoBank MB515393.

Notes — Following extensive sampling of endophytic isolates of Ulocladium and Alternaria ² a phylogenetic tree was constructed that demonstrates the affinities of U. populi to a group of isolates and taxa associated with U. atrum. Our analyses support the monophyly of the U. atrum group. As in previous analyses³, a clade comprised of U. chartarum, Alternaria cheiranthi, and Embellisia indefessa was sister to the U. atrum complex. However, two isolates identified on the basis of morphology as representative of U. atrum were phylogenetically distinct: ATCC 18040 (AF229486, AY563318) shown as U. atrum, and EGS 30-188 that is identical to haplotype ‘068g’. Also problematic from a taxonomic point of view is the identity of the ex-type culture of U. dauci with one of the representative cultures of U. atrum, EGS 30-188. Apart from U. populi, described above, the resolution of other members of the complex appears to be poor. The paraphyly of Alternaria is clearly seen in the tree. There were at least four different clades. One comprised all Lewia (Alternaria teleomorph) sequences, A. oregonensis, A. photistica, and 12 endophytic haplotypes of Alternaria isolated from Centaurea stoebe. The second comprised A. alternata, A. arborescens, A. tenuissima, A. longipes and 15 of the endophytic haplotypes of Alternaria isolated from C. stoebe. The third (A. crassa and others) and fourth (A. carotiincultae and others) clades did not include endophytes obtained from C. stoebe. The ‘674n’ haplotype from C. stoebe (close to Alternaria malorum sequences from GenBank) did not ally with the first Alternaria clade in MP trees (not shown); even on ML trees its branch was quite long. None of the 27 endophytic haplotypes of Alternaria and Lewia belonged to the U. atrum complex.

For phylogenetic tree and line drawing see MycoBank MB515393.

Etymology. The specific epithet ‘reshetovae’ is in honour of the Russian microbiologist Irina S. Reshetova for her contributions to the studies of soil yeasts.

On Glucose Peptone Yeast extract Agar (GPYA), after 1 mo at 25 °C, the streak culture is white to cream, dull and smooth. The margin is entire. After growth on malt extract agar for 3–5 d at 25 °C, cells are spheroid to ovoid (1.5–2.5 × 2.5–5.0 μm), occurring singly, in pairs or in small clusters and proliferating by multilateral budding. Pseudohyphae and true hyphae are not observed after 3 wk in plate culture on Yeast extract Malt extract malt (YM) and potato-dextrose agar (PDA, Difco) at 20–25 °C.

Teleomorphic stage was obtained on PDA after incubation for 3 wk at 16 °C. Ascospores were also observed on GPYA after replating from PDA. Ascus formation may be preceded by either conjugation between independent cells or by conjugation between a parent cell and a bud. Asci contain two ovoid ascospores with a small ring, and after maturation, ascospores are liberated from the ascus and tend to agglutinate.

Glucose is fermented. Assimilation of carbon compounds: D-galactose, L-sorbose, D-xylose, L-rhamnose (weak), sucrose, D-maltose, a,a-trehalose, cellobiose, salicin, glycerol, ribitol (delayed), D-glucitol, D-mannitol, ethanol, DL-lactate (weak), succinate (weak) and citric acid (weak). No growth occurs on D-glucosamine, L-arabinose, D-arabinose, lactose, raffinose, melezitose, inulin, soluble starch, erythritol, galactiol, and myo-inositol. Assimilation of nitrogen compounds: potassium nitrate and nitrite (negative), L-lysine and ethylamine (positive). Starch-like compounds are not produced. Urease activity is negative. Growth on vitamin-free medium is negative. Maximal growth temperature: 30 °C.

Typus. Germany, Thuringia, National Park Hainich, soil collected at the grassland, 51.2239 N, 10.3807 E, April 2008, HEG-9-BEB; holotype, culture ex-type HEG-9-2 = CBS 11556, A.

Notes — During a project aimed to study yeasts in soils under different land use, several cultures representing a novel teleomorphic yeast were isolated by plating soil suspensions on a solid acidified GPYA medium. Physiological analysis and phylogenetic placement showed this species to be related to the ascomycetous genus Clavispora (1979), Metschnikowiaceae ¹,². The novel species belongs to the cluster with two known Clavispora spp., namely C. lusitaniae and C. opuntiae, and several anamorphic Candida spp. Clavispora lusitaniae occurs in different substrates of plant and animal origin, whereas C. opuntiae is assumed to be associated with necrotic cacti². Although there is no strong support for this clade, we propose the novel species to be described in the genus Clavispora, as it resembles many of the properties and does not contradict the current diagnosis of the genus.

For phylogenetic tree see MycoBank MB515101.

Notes — Thirty-eight species of Tilletia have been reported from Australia¹,²,³ of which 14 are endemic to northern Australia. Worldwide, 12 species of Tilletia are known to occur on Panicum. One of these, T. narayanaraoana on Pancium trachyrachis, is known from Australia. Tilletia challinorae differs from T. narayanaraoana in having smaller sori, larger spores (T. narayanaraoana has spores 20–28 × 16–25 μm) with acute, single warts rather than blunt, agglutinated, filiform warts. Ten species of Tilletia occur as localised infections on Panicum. Of these, the most morphologically similar is T. pulcherrima, which has smaller spores (20–29.5 × 20–28 μm) that also differ in colour, ornamentation and the presence of a mucilaginous sheath surrounding the spores.

BLASTn results of the ITS sequence of T. challinorae had high identity to sequences of T. horrida on Oryza sativa (AF398435.1, 87 % identical over 97 % query coverage), T. pulcherrima on Panicum virgatum (EU915293.1, 91 % identical over 70 % query coverage) and T. narayanaraoana on Pancium trachyrachis (GQ497894, 87 % identical, over 90 % query coverage). Genomic DNA and cloned ITS plasmid of T. challinorae (holotype) are stored in the Australian Biosecurity Bank (http://www.padil.gov.au/pbt/).

Majority-rule consensus tree (TL = 445; CI = 0.775; RI = 0.552; RC = 0.428) obtained using parsimony in an exhaustive search from an ITS sequence alignment using PAUP v4.0b10. The bootstrap support values from 1 000 replicates are shown at the nodes. The species described here is printed in bold face. The tree was rooted to Entyloma chrysosplenii (GenBank AY854960). There is little statistical support for this tree, but it serves to show that T. challinorae is more closely related to species of Tilletia on grasses in the tribe Panicoideae than the tribe Pooideae, a host-pathogen relationship previously reported in a phylogenetic analysis of combined morphological and LSU sequence data⁴.

Notes — Macalpinomyces is a polyphyletic genus with many species referable to either Ustilago or Sporisorium ¹. Macalpinomyces is represented in Australia by 12 taxa². Macalpinomyces mackinlayi is best placed in Macalpinomyces until the Ustilago-Sporisorium-Macalpinomyces genus complex is resolved. It lacks columellae, typically present in Sporisorium and has sterile cells, which are not a character of Ustilago. It is morphologically similar to other Macalpinomyces species that have sterile cells, hypertrophied sori derived from host material, and densely echinulate spores, e.g. M. arundinella-setosae, M. tubiformis and M. siamensis. Macalpinomyces mackinlayi occurs on Eulalia mackinlayi, which is only known from the Mitchell Plateau region in north-western Australia. Eight Sporisorium species have been recorded on Eulalia, seven of which destroy the entire inflorescence or all the spikelets in an inflorescence. Sporisorium tripsicate has localised sori and can be distinguished from M. mackinlayi by the white sorus derived from fungal cells, the presence of spore balls and the verrucose rather than echinulate spores.

BLASTn results of the ITS sequence of Macalpinomyces mackinlayi (GU014817) had high identity to sequences of M. tristachyae on Loudetiopsis chrysothrix (GenBank: AY740164, 96 % identical over 90 % query coverage), M. bursus (as Sporisorium bursum) on Themeda quadrivalvis (GenBank: AY740154, 94 % identical over 90 % query coverage), Ustilago trichophora on Echinochloa colona (GenBank: AY345009, 94 % identical over 83 % query coverage) and M. loudetiae on Loudetia flavida (GenBank: AY740151, 91 % identical over 90 % query coverage). Genomic DNA of M. mackinlayi (holotype) is stored in the Australian Biosecurity Bank (http://www.padil.gov.au/pbt/).

Analysis of the ITS region of Macalpinomyces mackinlayi and some closely related taxa from GenBank in an exhaustive parsimony search using PAUP v4.0b4 yielded one tree (TL = 696; CI = 0.838; RI = 0.552; RC = 0.462). Bootstrap values from 1 000 replicates are shown above nodes and decay indices shown below nodes. The species described here is printed in bold face. The tree was rooted to Moesziomyces bullatus (GenBank DQ831012), a known outgroup of the Ustilago-Sporisorium-Macalpinomyces genus complex¹. A maximum likelihood analysis resolved a similar tree topology, except M. mackinlayi was sister to the M. tristachyae clade. This tree highlights that Macalpinomyces is a non-monophyletic group.

Etymology. The specific epithet ‘vustinii’ is in honour of the Russian zymologist Dr Michael M. Vustin for his contributions to the studies of Williopsis species and his suggestions concerning the observation of sexual stages of this novel species.

On Glucose Peptone Yeast extract Agar (GPYA), after 1 mo at 25 °C, the streak culture is white to cream, dull and smooth. The margin is entire. After growth on Yeast extract Malt extract malt (YM) agar for 3–5 d at 25 °C, cells are spheroidal to short ovoidal (2–3 × 2.5–5 μm), occurring singly, in pairs or in small clusters, and proliferating by multilateral budding. Pseudohyphae and true hyphae are not observed after 3 wk in plate culture, neither on YM nor on potato-dextrose (PDA, Difco) agar at 20–25 °C. The sexual stage was obtained for all studied strains after consequent incubation of the culture on GPYA, Malt extract Yeast extract Peptone (MYP) agar and GPYA (3–7 d on each medium). Ascus formation preceded by conjugation between a parent cell and a bud. Asci contain 2–4 hat-shaped or saturn-shaped ascospores.

Glucose is fermented. Assimilation of carbon compounds: D-glucose, L-sorbose, D-xylose, L-rhamnose, cellobiose, glycerol, ethanol, D-glucitol, D-mannitol, DL-lactate and succinate. No growth occurs on D-galactose, D-glucosamine, L-arabinose, D-arabinose, sucrose, D-maltose, a,a-trehalose, lactose, raffinose, melezitose, inulin, soluble starch, erythritol, ribitol, myo-inositol, D-glucoronate, citrate, D-glucarate and L-Tartaric acid. Assimilation of nitrogen compounds: potassium nitrate, sodium nitrite, L-lysine and ethylamine. Starch-like compounds are not produced. Urease activity is negative. Growth on vitamin-free medium is negative. Maximal growth temperature: 28 °C (normal growth), 30 °C (weak).

Typus. Germany, Thuringia, National Park Hainich, soil collected at the forest, 51.3558 N, 10.517 E, Apr. 2008, HEW-8-BEB; holotype, culture ex-type HEW-8-5 = CBS 11554, A. Yurkov, GenBank FN555431 (ITS-region), FN428955 (D1/D2 domain of 26S rRNA gene), FN555430 (16S rRNA gene), MycoBank MB515234.

Notes — Yeasts with saturn-shaped ascospores, formerly accommodated in the genus Williopsis, have been observed in soils and rhizospheres in different regions of the world¹. Several attempts have been made to reclassify this genus due to certain heterogeneity in their physiology¹, life cycle², distribution in different soil types³ and ribosomal gene sequence analyses¹,⁴. Recently, on the basis of multigene phylogenetic analysis, the genera Pichia and Williopsis were re-classified⁴. Williopsis californica, W. pratensis and several members of the genus Pichia were transferred to the novel genus Barnettozyma ⁴.

During a project aimed to study yeasts in soils under different land use regimes, multiple cultures resembling morphological properties of Williopsis californica were isolated by plating soil suspensions on GPYA plates. Detailed physiological and phylogenetic analyses showed that the strains belong to the genus Barnettozyma, Saccharomycetales (Ascomycota, Saccharomycotina), but did not correspond to any of the hitherto recognised species.

For phylogenetic tree see MycoBank MB515234.

Zasmidium macluricola R.G. Shivas, A.J. Young & U. Braun, sp. nov.

Roger G Shivas ^a, AJ Young ^a, Kerensa J McCallie ^b, Steven G Pearson ^c, Uwe Braun ^d

Conidiomata sporodochialia, hypophylla, densa. Mycelium internum. Conidiophora multa, compacta, densis fasciculis tegentibus superficiem stromatum, 15–45 × 4–6 μm, 0–1-septata. Conidia sola vel catenis breviter ramosis, subcylindracea ad fusoidea, recta, 15–45 × 4–5 μm, 0–3-septata.

Etymology. Named after the host plant Maclura (Moraceae).

Leaf spots circular to irregular with irregular margin, up to 2 cm diam, often coalescing, covering entire leaf; upper leaf surface chlorotic, becoming pale brown and necrotic, lower leaf surface dark from abundant sporulation. Conidiomata sporodochial, hypophyllous, dense, punctiform, pulvinate, confluent, dark brown to black. Mycelium internal. Stromata well-developed, erumpent. Conidiophores numerous, compact, in dense fascicles, erect, subcylindrical to geniculate-sinuous, unbranched, 15–45 × 4–6 μm, 0–1-septate, pale reddish brown, tips paler, wall smooth; conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells or integrated, terminal, 10–20 μm long, proliferation sympodial, scars conspicuous, terminal and lateral, aggregated, 1.5–2 μm diam, thickened, darkened, sometimes subdenticulate, truncate. Conidia solitary or in short branched chains, subcylindrical to fusoid, straight, slightly curved or sinuous, 15–45 × 4–5 μm, 0–3-septate, often slightly constricted at septa, minutely verruculose, pale reddish brown, ends rounded, hila slightly thickened and darkened.

Typus. Australia, Queensland, Conway National Park, alt. 200 m, on leaves of Maclura cochinchinensis, 8 Aug. 2008, S.G. Pearson, BRIP 52143, holotype; cultures ex-type BRIP 52143, GenBank GU108499; MycoBank MB515310.

Notes — The new species on Maclura fits well into the concept of Stenellopsis, which was a Stenella-like genus with fasciculate conidiophores and verruculose conidia, but lacking superficial mycelium. Stenellopsis was reduced to synonymy with Stenella as the formation of superficial mycelium was not considered a reliable feature within cercosporoid hyphomycetes¹. There are about 210 species of Stenella, which is an aggregate of similar cercosporoid species that mostly have solitary conidiophores, arising from superficial hyphae with catenate or solitary, verruculose conidia². Placement of species in Stenella is problematic because it appears to have evolved more than once in Mycosphaerella. The new species on Maclura has conidiophores in dense fascicles which is not typical for Stenella in its traditional circumscription. Cercospora prosopidis, which is morphologically similar to the Maclura hyphomycete in its well-developed stromata, fasciculate conidiophores, but lacking superficial mycelium was transferred to Stenella.

ITS sequence analysis indicates that the new species is closely related to S. queenslandica, isolated from Musa banksii in north Queensland, Australia, and is positioned within a clade containing Z. cellare (the type species of Zasmidium) as well as several species of Stenella and Ramichloridium within the Mycosphaerellaceae ³. Zasmidium is the oldest name for Stenella-like hyphomycetes in the Mycosphaerellaceae as well as being morphologically and phylogenetically indistinguishable from them. The type species of Stenella, S. araguata, clusters within the Teratosphaeriaceae and differs from Stenella-like Mycosphaerella anamorphs in having pileate conidiogenous loci (versus planate loci in Zasmidium). We prefer to maintain two phylogenetic genera and assign the new species on Maclura to Zasmidium, although most former Stenella spp. have not yet been transferred. Several anamorphic members of the Mycosphaerellaceae have been recorded on Maclura, e.g. Mycovellosiella, Prathigada, Pseudocercospora, Ramularia and Stigmina, which prompted us to choose a new epithet for fear of designating a future homonym as the current classification of these fungi is not stable.

Notes — Avicennia marina (grey mangrove) is a pantropical mangrove species that is commonly found on the seaward edge of mangrove habitats across northern Australia. Molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of Avicennia in the monogeneric family Avicenniaceae ¹. We were unable to find records of either Pseudocercospora or other anamorphic Mycosphaerellaceae on Avicennia. Of interest is the close affinity of P. avicenniae with another newly-discovered fungus from far north Queensland, P. mangifericola, differing in only three bases over 500 bases of ITS1, 5.8S rRNA and ITS2 sequence. This result was validated by obtaining sequences from three separate DNA extractions from each new species. An ITS neighbour-joining tree constructed using MEGA4². The scale bar shows 0.005 changes per site, and bootstrap support values from 1 000 replicates are shown at the nodes. The species described here is printed in bold face. The tree was rooted to Mycosphaerella heimii (GenBank EU882122).

Nawawia malaysiana Crous & S.S. Lee, sp. nov.

Pedro W Crous ^a, Johannes Z Groenewald ^a, Su See Lee ^b

Sporodochia ex conidiophoris dense aggregatis, subcylindraceis, 1–5-septatis composita. Cellulae conidiogenae in conidiophoris integratae, terminales vel laterales, monophialidicae, 5–10 × 2.5–3.5 μm. Conidia solitaria, (4–)5(–6) μm diam. sine protuberationibus, hyalina, laevia, aseptata, quinquelobata, (4–)5(–6) protuberationibus, 1–2 μm longis, cum appendicibus gracilibus, trichoidibus, 3–9 μm longis.

Etymology. Named after the country from which it was collected, Malaysia.

Colonies sporulating on tap water agar supplemented with sterile nettle stems, on oatmeal agar (OA) and 2 % malt extract agar (MEA; Oxoid). Conidiomata sporodochial on all media, but at times also immersed in agar on OA, appearing semi-cupulate; sporodochia after 1 mo on nettle stems brown, up to 100 μm diam. Mycelium consisting of pale brown, smooth to somewhat roughened, septate, branched, 3–4 μm wide hyphae. Conidiophores pale brown, smooth, subcylindrical, densely aggregated, frequently branched, rarely loose or solitary on mycelium, 1–5-septate, 10–40 × 3–4 μm; conidiophores can also be reduced to clavate cells giving rise to 7–8 conidiogenous cells arranged like sun rays around the apex of the conidiophore cell. Conidiogenous cells terminal and lateral on conidiophores, monophialidic, pale brown, smooth, subcylindrical to somewhat ampulliform, 5–10 × 2.5–3.5 μm; tapering towards apex, 1–1.5 μm diam, with inconspicuous collarette (at times somewhat flaring, but mostly cylindrical), and periclinal thickening visible. Conidia in olivaceous, slimy masses, solitary, hyaline, smooth, round, 5-lobed, aseptate, with (4–)5(–6) projections, 1–2 μm long, that are bluntly rounded, and from the centre give rise to a thin, hair-like appendage, 3–9 μm long; conidium body (4–)5(–6) μm in height and diam; when viewed from the side conidia are fusoid to ellipsoid, 3–3.5 μm diam; the fifth conidium projection is basal, 1–2 μm long, and has a truncate base which was attached to the conidiogenous cell, 1 μm diam.

Culture characteristics — Colonies on MEA at 25 °C in the dark after 2 wk: 12 mm diam, flat, spreading, with sparse aerial mycelium and feathery margins; surface smoke-grey; reverse fawn to hazel. On OA similar, with sparse aerial mycelium, reaching 15 mm diam; surface hazel.

Typus. Malaysia, Sarawak, on leaves of Eucalyptus urophylla, 20 April 2009, S.S. Lee, CBS H-20345, holotype, cultures ex-type CPC 16757 = CBS 125544, CPC 16758; GenBank (ITS: GU229886; LSU: GU229887), MycoBank MB514707.

Notes — Four species of Nawawia have thus far been described, though none are known from culture. Members of the genus are recorded as being aero-aquatic¹. Nawawia malaysiana was isolated from the apex of a conidiomatal spore mass of a Satchmopsis species sporulating on a Eucalyptus leaf in a moist chamber. The latter provides additional support for its potential ecological role as an aero-aquatic fungus. Other species known to date form pigmented, solitary to synnematal conidiophores², and N. malaysiana is the first species observed to form sporodochia. However, as no other molecular data are available, this taxon is presently best accommodated in this genus.

BLASTn results of the LSU sequence were 91 % identical over approx. 910 bp with species of Chaetosphaeria (Chaetosphaeriales, Sordariomycetes), for example Chaetosphaeria fuegiana (GenBank EF063574), Chaetosphaeria lateriphiala (GenBank AF466071) and Chaetosphaeria callimorpha (GenBank AF466062).

Etymology. Derived from the name of the host plant Mangifera in the Anacardiaceae.

Leaf spots amphigenous; conspicuous on abaxial surface, polyangular to irregular, often vein-limited, 2–8 mm wide, margins diffuse or narrowly water-soaked, dark brown in centre becoming paler towards margin, often widespread over the entire leaf surface, lesions sometimes covered with abundant sporulation; inconspicuous on adaxial leaf surface, irregular, margins diffuse, pale to yellowish brown, always smaller than the corresponding lesion on the abaxial surface. Mycelium internal and external, pale to medium brown; superficial hyphae septate, smooth, branched, 2.5–4.5 μm wide. Stromata absent. Conidiophores solitary or in loose fascicles of up to 6, arising from superficial hyphae, lateral, erect, ampulliform to subcylindrical, straight or occasionally geniculate, 8–45 × 3.0–4.5 μm, rarely branched. Conidiogenous cells terminal, pale brown becoming paler towards the apex, proliferating percurrently or occasionally sympodially, smooth or minutely roughened from torn annulations, rounded at apex. Conidia solitary, pale brown, subcylindrical, 10–47 × 2.5–3.5 μm, straight or partially curved, apex rounded, base obconically truncate to subtruncate, 0–5-septate, sometimes constricted at one or more septa, smooth; hila inconspicuous.

Culture characteristics — Colonies on malt extract agar (Difco) circular, up to 30 mm diam after 28 d at 25 °C, grey to pale olivaceous-grey, reverse olivaceous-black, radially furrowed, flat and raised in the centre, margin entire, smooth.

Typus. Australia, Queensland, Tolga, 17° 13’ S, 145° 28’ E, Mangifera indica cv. Kensington Pride, 28 Aug. 2009, K.R.E. Grice & P. Holt, BRIP 52776b, holotype; cultures ex-type BRIP 52776b, GenBank GU188048, MycoBank MB515467.

Notes — Pseudocercospora mangifericola parasitised mango (Mangifera indica) leaves that were also infected at low levels with Scolecostigmina mangiferae (syn. Cercospora mangiferae, Stigmina mangiferae), which differs symptomatically by producing angular, black lesions with chlorotic haloes visible on both leaf surfaces (see middle photograph in adjacent illustrations) and is clearly distinguishable based on ITS sequence. The only other cercosporoid fungus reported on mango is C. mangiferae-indicae, which differs by having broader conidia measuring 3–6 μm in width¹.

An ITS neighbour-joining tree constructed using MEGA4². The scale bar shows 0.005 changes per site, and bootstrap support values from 1 000 replicates are shown at the nodes. The species described here is printed in bold face. The tree was rooted to Mycosphaerella heimii (GenBank EU882122).

Saccharata intermedia Crous & Joanne E. Taylor, sp. nov.

Pedro W Crous ^a, Johannes Z Groenewald ^a, Joanne E Taylor ^b

Saccharatae proteae similis, sed conidiis minoribus, (17–)18–20(–22) × (3.5–)5–6 μm.

Etymology. Named after its conidial dimensions, which are intermediate in size between those of S. proteae and S. kirstenboschensis.

Conidiomata on potato-dextrose agar (PDA) pycnidial, black, up to 300 μm diam, with a single, central ostiole; wall consisting of 2–3 layers of brown textura angularis. Conidiophores subcylindrical, hyaline, smooth, frequently reduced to conidiogenous cells or branched in apical part, 1–2-septate, 10–20 × 2–3.5 μm. Conidiogenous cells terminal, subcylindrical, hyaline, 10–15 × 2–3 μm; apex with periclinal thickening, rarely with percurrent proliferation. Paraphyses intermingled among conidiophores, unbranched hyaline, smooth, 0–1-septate, 2–3 μm wide, extending above conidiophores. Conidia hyaline, smooth, fusiform to narrowly ellipsoid, apex subobtuse, base truncate with minute marginal frill, minutely guttulate, thin-walled, (17–)18–20(–22) × (3.5–)5–6 μm.

Culture characteristics — Colonies on PDA at 25 °C in the dark after 2 wk: 20 mm diam, spreading, erumpent, surface crumpled, irregular, with smooth margin and moderate aerial mycelium, lavender-grey with patches of leaden-black; leaden-grey in reverse; similar on oatmeal agar (OA) and 2 % malt extract agar (MEA; Oxoid).

Typus. South Africa, Western Cape Province, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, on leaves of Protea sp., 9 Aug. 2008, J.E. Taylor, CBS H-20347, holotype, culture ex-type CPC 15557 = CBS 125546, CPC 15558, 15559; GenBank (ITS: GU229888; LSU: GU229889), MycoBank MB514708.

Notes — Three species of Saccharata are presently known, namely S. proteae (conidia 20–30 × 4.5–6 μm), and S. capensis (conidia 13–18 × 3.5–5.5 μm) on Proteaceae, and S. kirstenboschensis (conidia (16–)18–22(–24) × 3.5–4(–5) μm), which occurs on Encephalartos ¹ ^– ³. Saccharata intermedia, which also occurs on Proteaceae, represents an intermediate species, and has conidia similar in length to those of S. kirstenboschensis, though somewhat wider (17–)18–20(–22) × (3.5–)5–6 μm. All species of Saccharata described to date occur on host plants indigenous to South Africa.

BLASTn results of the ITS sequence (Genbank GU229888) revealed that S. intermedia is 97 % identical to Saccharata proteae (Genbank FJ150708) and Saccharata kirstenboschensis (Genbank FJ372392) and 95 % identical to Saccharata capensis (Genbank EU552129). BLASTn results of the LSU sequence (Genbank GU229889) supported the association of this species with Saccharata with 99 % identity to both Saccharata proteae (Genbank EU552145) and Saccharata capensis (Genbank EU552129).

Etymology. Named after Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, South Africa, where this fungus was collected.

Leaf spots grey-brown, epiphyllous, irregular, 2–5 mm diam, coalescing. Conidiomata on host immersed, black, opening by irregular rupture, acervuloid, up to 300 μm diam; in culture on 2 % malt extract agar (MEA; Oxoid) similar, but pale brown; wall consisting of 3–4 layers of pale brown textura angularis; opening by means of irregular rupture. Conidiophores hyaline, smooth, subcylindrical, branched, 2–4-septate, 10–30 × 2–3 μm; or reduced to ampulliform conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells hyaline, smooth, ampulliform to subcylindrical, terminal or lateral on septate conidiophores, 5–15 × 2–3 μm; monophialidic with minute periclinal thickening. Conidia solitary, hyaline, smooth, curved, widest in middle, tapering to acutely rounded apex and truncate base, 0–1-septate, (17–)22–27(–32) × (1.5–)2(–3) μm.

Culture characteristics — Colonies on MEA at 25 °C in the dark after 2 wk: 5 mm diam, spreading, erumpent, slow-growing, surface crumpled, irregular, with smooth, lobate margin and sparse aerial mycelium; surface and reverse dirty cream with patches of scarlet. On potato-dextrose agar (PDA) similar, on oatmeal agar (OA) more flattened, spreading, flesh to scarlet, with sparse aerial mycelium. In conidiomata developed on OA, microconidia were observed in addition to the typical macroconidia, produced from similar conidiomata. Microconidia cylindrical, hyaline, smooth, straight or curved, rounded at the top, (sub)truncate at the base, 0-septate, (5–)6–10 × 1 μm.

Typus. South Africa, Western Cape Province, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, 33°59’ 21.5" S, 18°25’ 45.4" E, on leaves of Encephalartos friderici-guilielmi, 13 Jan. 2009, P.W. Crous, CBS H-20346, holotype, culture ex-type CPC 16311, 16312 = CBS 125545; GenBank (ITS: GU229890; LSU: GU229891), MycoBank MB514710.

Notes — Based on its acervular conidiomata, phialides, and hyaline, curved conidia, this present collection appears to represent a species of Cylindrosporium, the differences being that in Cylindrosporium the conidiomata are shallow, and less well-developed, and the conidia are cylindrical, and aseptate. Furthermore, it also clusters apart from the type species of Cylindrosporium, C. concentricum (teleomorph Pyrenopeziza brassicae, Helotiales)¹. As Cylindrosporium is representative of a generic complex², a new genus, Xenocylindrosporium, is herewith introduced to accommodate the fungus occurring on Encephalartos. Although nothing is known about the ecology of X. kirstenboschense, it is associated with leaf spots on E. friderici-guilielmi, and appears to be pathogenic to this host. Although the infected plants occurred among several other Encephalartos species in the Kirstenbosch gardens, X. kirstenboschense was not observed on any other host, and may well be host specific.

BLASTn results of the ITS sequence (GenBank GU229890) revealed that the species has 85 % identity to Phaeomoniella chlamydospora (GenBank AB278179; incertae sedis), Phaeomoniella capensis (GenBank FJ372391; incertae sedis) and Cladophialophora minutissima (GenBank EF016377; Chaetothyriales); and 86 % identity to Cyphellophora laciniata (GenBank EU035416; Chaetothyriales). BLASTn results of the LSU sequence (GenBank GU229891) also supported its association with Phaeomoniella capensis (93 % identity; GenBank FJ372408; incertae sedis), Amorphotheca resinae (92 % identity; GenBank EU030277; incertae sedis), and Rhynchostoma proteae (91 % identity; GenBank EU552154; incertae sedis).

Colour illustrations. Leaves of Encephalartos friderici-guilielmi with leaf spot symptoms; leaf spot with black, immersed conidiomata; conidiophores giving rise to curved conidia; single conidiogenous cell and curved conidia. Scale bar = 10 μm.
