“…The following reports confirm their world-wide distribution and occurrence in different habitats usually associated with soil environments, e.g. soil in city parks (Papini et al 1998;Vidyasagar et al 2005), flower pots (Singh et al 2009), sand in children´s sandpits (Labuda et al 2008), mud (Zaki et al 2005), poultry farms (Anbu et al 2004;Cano and Guarro 1990), marshy meadows, salt pans, desert, cultivated or uncultivated soils (Cano and Guarro 1990; Chmel and Vláčilíková 1977;Deshmukh 2004;Deshmukh et al 2008;Han et al 2013;Javorekova et al 2012;Zhang et al 2016;Zhang et al 2017) and river sediments (Ulfig et al 1997;Vidal et al 2000;Vidal et al 2002). In general, these fungi are rarely reported as animal pathogens, and in fact, only two species (C. echinulatum and C. pannicola) have been involved in mycoses (Cabanes et al 2014;Crous et al 2016).…”

Four new Keratinophyton species (Ascomycota: Pezizomycotina, Onygenales), K. gollerae, K. lemmensii, K. straussii and K. wagneri, isolated from soil samples originating from Europe (Austria, Italy and Slovakia) are described and illustrated. The new taxa are well supported by phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) region, the nuclear large subunit (LSU) rDNA, and their phenotype. Within the Keratinophyton clade, K. lemmensii is clustered with K. durum, K. hubeiense, K. submersum and K. siglerae, while K. gollerae, K. straussii and K. wagneri are resolved in a separate terminal cluster along with K. minutisporosum. All four new species can be well distinguished from the other asexual taxa in the genus Keratinophyton based on phenotypical characteristics alone. Ten new combinations are proposed for all other Chrysosporium asexual morphs which are resolved in the monophyletic Keratinophyton clade.

“…The samples were dried and stored in plastic bags in a fridge (5-8 °C) till the time of analysis (August 2015 and July 2019). Isolation of the keratinophilic fungi was done as described previously (Javorekova et al 2012). Each sample was divided into 10 subsamples.…”

“…While A. uncinatum is also a geophilic species known to be most frequently isolated from humus-rich soils, the infrequency of this species in the current survey can be attributed to the low degree of acidity in most soils samples from Iran (pH ≥ 7). Statistically substantiated studies from Europe [ 21 , 22 , 24 , 25 ] have reported that A. uncinatum in an exceptionally acidophilic species that is less-abundantly isolated from soils with pH > 6.0. In different inquiries from Iran [ 10 , 12 , 14 ], Tunisia [ 29 ] India [ 1 , 2 , 30 ], Saudi Arabia [ 7 ], the USA [ 18 ] and Brazil [ 27 ], the dermatophytes were isolated from a wide variety of soils, especially from shady and wet places rich in organic substances, e.g., gardens, public grasslands, sludge and cultivated fields, or locations with a high animal keratin content.…”

“…While members of the N. gypsea complex were the dominant species in the soils from different localities in Iran, species other than this complex were more distinguished in the soils from some European countries. In five different reports from 1992 to 2013, T. ajelloi (currently, A. uncinatum ) was the most commonly isolated species from soils in Italy, Poland, Austria and Slovakia [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Such differences in species domination can be justified with differences in the types of soils sampled.…”

A molecular epidemiology study was conducted between 2016 and 2017 by a network of collaborators from 12 provinces in the Islamic Republic of Iran. A total of 1484 soil samples from different habitats were screened for the presence of dermatophytes by using the hair baiting technique. The primary identification of isolates was carried out by amplification and MvaI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the internal transcribed spacers regions of ribosomal DNA (ITS-rDNA). The identifications, especially in the cases of isolates with unknown RFLP patterns, were confirmed by sequencing of the ITS-rDNA region. As a result, 256 isolates were recovered. The isolation rate was higher in soils with pH range 7.1–8.0, collected from animal habitats (n = 78; 34%) and parks and gardens (n = 75; 32%), geographically from Mazandaran Province (n = 115; 49.5%) and seasonally in the spring (n = 129; 50.4%), all of which were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The dermatophytes comprising five species of the two genera, viz., Nannizzia fulva (n = 214), N. gypsea (n = 34), Arthroderma quadrifidum (n = 5), A. gertleri (n = 2) and A. tuberculatum (n = 1), were isolated. The geophilic dermatophytes occurred in various soils from different parts of Iran; however, surprisingly, N. fulva emerged as the dominant species, outnumbering the common geophilic species of N. gypsea. For the definitive identification of soil inhabitant dermatophytes, DNA-based identification is strongly recommended.

The new taxa are well supported by phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) region, the combined data analysis of ITS and the nuclear large subunit (LSU) rDNA, and their phenotype. Based on ITS phylogeny, within the Keratinophyton clade, K. lemmensii is clustered with K. durum, K. hubeiense, K. submersum and K. siglerae, while K. gollerae, K. straussii and K. wagneri are resolved in a separate terminal cluster.
