Polyketide-Derived Secondary Metabolites from a Dothideomycetes Fungus, Pseudopalawania siamensis gen. et sp. nov., (Muyocopronales) with Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities

“…The closest matched taxa were determined through nucleotide BLAST searches online in GenBank (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/). Combined LSU: 28S large subunit of the nrRNA gene; ITS: internal transcribed spacer regions 1 and 2 including 5.8S nrRNA gene; SSU: 18S small subunit of the nrRNA gene; TEF1: partial translation elongation factor 1-α gene; and RPB2: partial RNA polymerase II second largest subunit gene sequence data from representative closest relatives to our strains were selected following Hongsanan et al [20], Crous et al [21], Hernández-Restrepo et al [22], and Mapook et al [23,24], to confirm the phylogenetic placement of our new strains. The phylogenetic analysis based on maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) were following the methodology as described in Mapook et al [23,24].…”

Heliocephala variabilis and Pseudopenidiella vietnamensis: Two New Hyphomycetous Species in the Microthyriaceae (Dothideomycetes) from Vietnam

“…Since a similar topology of the phylogenetic trees obtained from the previous analyses was observed, a combined analysis of the two markers was performed to obtain a more robust phylogeny of the fungi studied. All the sequences, which were mainly taken from previous studies [7,9,12,13,[17][18][19][20], were retrieved from GenBank, including those of Venturia catenospora and Venturia inaequalis used as outgroup ( Table 1). The alignments were made in the MEGA (Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis) software v.6.0.…”

“…Its very diverse ecological niches, climatic conditions, and high level of plant endemism would suggest that the country also has great fungal diversity, although this has been not extensively studied so far [4][5][6]. During a survey of asexual microfungi from plant debris carried out in the Northeast of Vietnam, two interesting specimens, belonging to the genera Heliocephala and Pseudopenidiella (Microthyriaceae, Microthyriales, Dothideomycetes) [7] were isolated and deposited in the culture collection at the Medicine Faculty of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Reus, Spain) for subsequent studies.…”

Conioscypha tenebrosa sp. nov. (Conioscyphaceae) from China and notes on Conioscypha species

“…The related sequences (TABLE 1) used for this study were obtained from GenBank according to the results of blast searches and other published researches (Réblová & Seifert 2004, Zelski et al 2015, Réblová et al 2016, Chuaseeharonnachai et al 2017, Crous et al 2018Luo et al 2019). Partial nucleotide sequences of the LSU, SSU, ITS and RPB2 ribosomal RNA were used to determine the phylogenetic position of the new taxon.…”
