OnGliomastix MurorumandG. Felina

Molecular assessment of fungi in “black spots” that deface murals in the Takamatsuzuka and Kitora Tumuli in Japan: Acremonium sect. Gliomastix including Acremonium tumulicola sp. nov. and Acremonium felinum comb. nov

“…The phenotypic characteristics of the six isolates agreed well with the previous descriptions (Dickinson 1968;Gams 1971;Matsushima 1975;Hammill 1981 Colonies on MA reaching 60-70 mm diameter in 10 days at 208C in darkness, white (25A1), floccose, reverse concolorous. Colonies on OA reaching 30-40 mm diameter in 10 days at 208C in darkness, blackish brown (5F8), velvety to floccose, zonate, reverse concolorous.…”

“…9) Gams's (1971, in Domsch et al 2007) and Hammill's (1981) descriptions and illustrations for A. murorum/G. murorum.…”

“…murorum'. DAOM 22657 was used for the molecular tree based on partial large subunit (LSU) rDNA sequences (Seifert et al 2003), whereas CBS 147.81 was examined by Hammill (1981), who discussed the differences between G. murorum and G. felina. NBRC 31044 is listed in the NBRC online catalogue (http://www.nbrc.nite.go.jp/e/index.html).…”

“…Gliomastix, the so-called dark Acremonium, was moved down by Gams (1971) to a section of Acremonium. The concept of Gliomastix murorum with two varieties was discussed by Hammill (1981). Recently, Acremonium sensu Gams (1971) with the soilborne species has been taxonomically revised and compiled by Gams in Domsch et al (2007).…”

“…Recently, Acremonium sensu Gams (1971) with the soilborne species has been taxonomically revised and compiled by Gams in Domsch et al (2007). Morphology-based taxonomic treatments of dark Acremonium (Gams 1971) and Gliomastix (e.g., Dickinson 1968;Hughes and Dickinson 1968;Hammill 1981) have not yet been challenged. Lechat et al (2010) demonstrated the connection of G. fusigera with a teleomorph in Hydropisphaera.…”
