A new species, Chloridium terricola, was isolated from soil in Sichuan province, China. Morphologically, it is characterized by the production of pale brown conidia and a conidiophore bearing a single apical whorl of ampulliform or lageniform phialides. Large subunit (LSU) rDNA
sequence analyses support C. terricola as congeneric with other Chloridium species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
