“…5 E) and we thus suggest to include this species in the family. In the original description Bullera vrieseae ( Landell et al. 2015 ) was placed together with Bullera sakaeratica and B. miyagiana in a well-supported clade, which is resolved in this study as members of the family Trimorphomycetaceae ( Fig.…”

Families and genera assigned to Tremellomycetes have been mainly circumscribed by morphology and for the yeasts also by biochemical and physiological characteristics. This phenotype-based classification is largely in conflict with molecular phylogenetic analyses. Here a phylogenetic classification framework for the Tremellomycetes is proposed based on the results of phylogenetic analyses from a seven-genes dataset covering the majority of tremellomycetous yeasts and closely related filamentous taxa. Circumscriptions of the taxonomic units at the order, family and genus levels recognised were quantitatively assessed using the phylogenetic rank boundary optimisation (PRBO) and modified general mixed Yule coalescent (GMYC) tests. In addition, a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis on an expanded LSU rRNA (D1/D2 domains) gene sequence dataset covering as many as available teleomorphic and filamentous taxa within Tremellomycetes was performed to investigate the relationships between yeasts and filamentous taxa and to examine the stability of undersampled clades. Based on the results inferred from molecular data and morphological and physiochemical features, we propose an updated classification for the Tremellomycetes. We accept five orders, 17 families and 54 genera, including seven new families and 18 new genera. In addition, seven families and 17 genera are emended and one new species name and 185 new combinations are proposed. We propose to use the term pro tempore or pro tem. in abbreviation to indicate the species names that are temporarily maintained.

Pattersoniomyces tillandsiae gen. et comb. nov.: linking sexual and asexual morphs of the only known smut fungus associated with Bromeliaceae

et al. 2017

The enigmatic species Ustilago tillandsiae is the only known smut fungus associated with Bromeliaceae. Its generic position is evaluated by morphological, physiological, and molecular phylogenetic analyses using large subunit rDNA sequences. Phylogenetic analyses resolved U. tillandsiae as a member of the Ustilaginales in a sister relationship to the lineage containing Tranzscheliella species. However, U. tillandsiae differs from Tranzscheliella species by the development of sori in flowers, a different structure of sori and a different type of spore ornamentation. Consequently, a new genus Pattersoniomyces is described to accommodate U. tillandsiae. The new combination Pattersoniomyces tillandsiae is substantiated. In the sexual stage (teleomorph), this species infects bromeliads: Tillandsia flabellata, Tillandsia leiboldiana, and Tillandsia sp. in Central America between southern Mexico and Costa Rica. The yeast stage (anamorph) of P. tillandsiae was found associated with the phylloplane of Canistrum improcerum and in water tanks (phytotelmata) of Vriesea minarum, two bromeliads occurring in northeast and southeast Brazil, respectively. The link between the teleomorph and anamorphic strains is supported by identical sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rDNA. Pattersoniomyces represents the tenth endemic smut genus to the Americas, but the only one that occurs in both North and South America, being a truly neotropical genus. The host plant families of Ustilaginales are extended to the Bromeliaceae. As far as we know, Pattersoniomyces represents the single event of a host jump from Cyperaceae or Poaceae to Bromeliaceae, apparently without further species radiation on multiple bromeliad species and genera growing in South America.

“…In recent years, several yeasts associated with bromeliads have been described, for example Genolevuria bromeliarum [5], Candida bromeliacearum [6] and Papiliotrema leoncinii [7], moreover some groups of yeasts are endemic with members of the family Bromeliaceae, such as Carlosrosaea spp. [8,9] and Pattersoniomyces tillandsiae [10].…”

Plants are important reservoirs of described and undescribed species of yeast. During a study of yeasts associated with bromeliads from the Northeast region of Brazil (collected in 2013–2017), analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the LSU rRNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region identified eleven strains of yeasts as representing an unknown species of the genus Vishniacozyma. The species may have a diverse habitat in Brazil as a strain was collected from a flowering plant (Acanthaceae) in 1994. As a consequence, we propose Vishniacozyma alagoana sp. nov. as a member of the tremellomycetes yeasts (Agaricomycotina, Basidiomycota). Vishniacozyma alagoana sp. nov. was found in Atlantic Forest (a tropical rainforest) and the Caatinga (a seasonally dry tropical forest) associated with bromeliads in northeast and southeastern Brazil. The proposed novel species is related to Vishniacozyma taibaiensis and distinguished by eight nucleotide substitutions in the D1/D2 domain and seventeen in the ITS region. In addition, Vishniacozyma alagoana sp. nov. differs from V. taibaiensis by the ability to assimilate ribitol. The holotype is CBS 15966T.
