“…Our single-locus tree provided enough resolution to identify the major lineages of Ascomycota. The clade delineation followed from the Spatafora et al (2006). On this tree, we often used a single sequence reference to serve as a point for depicting the position of our multiple strains isolated from soda soils.…”

On the diversity of fungi from soda soils

The diversity of filamentous fungi that can grow at high ambient pH values (i.e., 8-11) remains largely understudied. Here we study 100 alkalitolerant and alkaliphilic isolates from the soils around the basin of soda lakes in Asia and Africa to assess the major evolutionary lineages and morphologies pertinent to the alkaliphilic trait in filamentous fungi. The Emericellopsis lineage (Hypocreales, Hypocreomycetidae), along with Plectosphaerellaceae (Hypocreomycetidae), Pleosporaceae (Dothideomycetes), Chaetomiaceae (Sordariomycetidae) families appeared to be overrepresented with strong alkalitolerants and effective alkaliphiles. In particular, Sodiomyces species (Plectosphaerellaceae), Acrostalagmus luteoalbus (Plectosphaerellaceae), Emericellopsis alkalina (Hypocreales), Thielavia sp. (Chaetomiaceae), and Alternaria sect. Soda (Pleosporaceae) grew best at high ambient pH. The pH tolerance of Chordomyces antarcticum, Acrostalagmus luteoalbus and some other species was largely affected by the presence of extra Na + in the growth medium. Moderate alkalitolerants included Scopulariopsis members (Microascales), Fusarium, Cladosporium, and many asexual acremonium-like species from Bionectriaceae. Weak alkalitolerants were represented by sporadic isolates of Penicillium, Purpureocillium lilacinum, and Alternaria alternata species, with the growth optimum at neutral or acidic pH. Weak alkalitolerants develop loose dry chains of spores easily dispersed by air. Their presence at low frequency with the growth optimum at neutral or acidic pH leads us to treat them as transient species in the alkaline soils, as those are also ubiquitous saprobes in normal soils. Our phylogenetic analyses show that the alkaliphilic trait in filamentous fungi has evolved several times. Several lineages harboring strong alkalitolerants derived from the known marine-borne fungi (Emericellopsis, Alternaria sect. Phragmosporae), or fall within the fungi associated with halophytic grasses (Pleosporaceae). Soda soils contain a diversity of fungi that range from weak alkalitolerant to alkaliphilic, which in few cases is associated with darkly pigmented mycelium and formation of microsclerotia. The alkaliphilic trait is spread throughout the Ascomycota, and usually juxtaposes with slime-covered polyphyletic acremonium-, verticillium-, gliocladium-types of asexual morphology, hyphae aggregating in chords, and enclosed fruit bodies.

Molecular data support placement of Cameronia in Ostropomycetidae (Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota)

The phylogenetic position of the Tasmanian endemic genus Cameronia Kantvilas is studied using partial sequences of nuclear LSU and mitochondrial SSU ribosomal DNA. Monophyly of the genus is supported, as is its placement in Ostropomycetidae, although its position within this subclass remains uncertain. Given the lack of close relatives to Cameronia and its morphological differences compared to other families with perithecioid ascomata in Ostropomycetidae, the new family Cameroniaceae Kantvilas & Lumbsch is proposed.

“…To test the two most recent classifications suggested for Cainiella (Kirk et al 2008, Lumbsch andHuhndorf 2009) we aligned mtSSU rDNA and nLSU rDNA sequences of C. borealis and C. johansonii with sequences of the major clades of Sordariomycetidae and Xylariomycetidae obtained from GenBank. Leotia lubrica was used as outgroup based on its sister relationship to Sordariomycetes (Spatafora et al 2006). To further study the phylogenetic relationships of Cainiella we compiled a nLSU rDNA dataset with diaporthalean taxa using Magnaporthe grisea as outgroup (Castlebury et al 2002, Gryzenhout et al 2006, Morocko and Fatehi 2007.…”

“…Due to recent multigene phylogenies published by the research consortium Assembling the Fungal Tree of Life (AFTOL) and others (e.g. Schoch et al 2009, Spatafora et al 2006), a considerable amount of sequence data is available that should enable resolving the affinities of Cainiella.…”

Molecular phylogeny of Sydowiellaceae—resolving the position of Cainiella

Cainiella is an ascomycete genus associated with arctic alpine plants. The systematic position of Cainiella has long been unclear, with current classifications placing the genus in either Sordariales or Xylariales. Our molecular results, based on mtSSU, ITS and nLSU rDNA data, clearly show that the genus belongs in the Sydowiellaceae (Diaporthales). The study also includes new sequences of Sydowiellaceae and contributes to a better knowledge of the phylogenetic relationships of that family.
