“…(2011) showed that M. eremophilus does not belong to Monascus , and appears to be related to Penicillium . In order to clarify the difference placements of M. eremophilus in literature, we re-analysed the LSU data set of Park & Jong (2003) and Vinnere-Pettersson et al. (2011) together with the data set generated in this study (data not shown).…”

“…The fact that we did not observe any fertile cleistothecia may indicate that the type strain (FRR 3338) is deteriorating. Molecular data shows that this species is related to Penicillium (Park et al., 2004, Vinnere-Pettersson et al., 2011, Houbraken et al., 2014) and is transferred to Penicillium (this study).…”

“…The position of Monascus (and the Monascaceae ) has been the subject of discussion in various papers and it was often placed outside the order Eurotiales (Benny and Kimbrough, 1980, Arx, 1987, Stchigel and Guarro, 2007), but phylogenetic analyses confidentially places this genus in Aspergillaceae ( Eurotiales ) (Berbee et al., 1995, Ogawa et al., 1997, Ogawa and Sugiyama, 2000, Peterson, 2008, Houbraken and Samson, 2011, Vinnere-Pettersson et al., 2011). The genus Basipetospora was found to be the anamorph of Monascus and is characterized by the production of aleurioconidia in a basipetal manner from undifferentiated conidiogenous cells that progressively shorten (retrogression, Cole & Samson 1979).…”

Phylogenetic analysis of Monascus and new species from honey, pollen and nests of stingless bees

The genus Monascus was described by van Tieghem (1884) to accommodate M. ruber and M. mucoroides, two species with non-ostiolate ascomata. Species delimitation in the genus is still mainly based on phenotypic characters, and taxonomic studies that include sequence data are limited. The genus is of economic importance. Species are used in fermented Asian foods as food colourants (e.g. ‘red rice’ (ang-kak, angka)) and found as spoilage organisms, and recently Monascus was found to be essential in the lifecycle of stingless bees. In this study, a polyphasic approach was applied combining morphological characters, ITS, LSU, β-tubulin, calmodulin and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit sequences and extrolite data, to delimit species and to study phylogenetic relationships in Monascus. Furthermore, 30 Monascus isolates from honey, pollen and nests of stingless bees in Brazil were included. Based on this polyphasic approach, the genus Monascus is resolved in nine species, including three new species associated with stingless bees (M. flavipigmentosus sp. nov., M. mellicola sp. nov., M. recifensis sp. nov., M. argentinensis, M. floridanus, M. lunisporas, M. pallens, M. purpureus, M. ruber), and split in two new sections (section Floridani sect. nov., section Rubri sect. nov.). Phylogenetic analysis showed that the xerophile Monascus eremophilus does not belong in Monascus and monophyly in Monascus is restored with the transfer of M. eremophilus to Penicillium (P. eremophilum comb. nov.). A list of accepted and excluded Monascus and Basipetospora species is given, together with information on (ex-)types cultures and barcode sequence data.

“…The asexual morph of X. bisporus was described as Fraseriella bispora , type of the monotypic genus Fraseriella , thus these generic names are synonyms and compete for use. Although an early study suggested that Xeromyces bisporus belonged in Monascus (Stchigel et al 2004), a more extensive account has shown that Xeromyces is a distinct genus within Eurotiales (Pettersson et al 2011). Xeromyces has priority and is used more extensively than Fraseriella , thus we recommend the use of Xeromyces .…”

Overlooked competing asexual and sexually typified generic names of Ascomycota with recommendations for their use or protection

et al. 2016

With the change to one scientific name for fungal species, numerous papers have been published with recommendations for use or protection of competing generic names in major groups of ascomycetes. Although genera in each group of fungi were carefully considered, some competing generic names were overlooked. This paper makes recommendations for additional competing genera not considered in previous papers. Chairs of relevant Working Groups of the ICTF were consulted in the development of these recommendations. A number of generic names need protection, specifically Amarenographium over Amarenomyces, Amniculicola over Anguillospora, Balansia over Ephelis, Claviceps over Sphacelia, Drepanopeziza over Gloeosporidiella and Gloeosporium, Golovinomyces over Euoidium, Holwaya over Crinium, Hypocrella over Aschersonia, Labridella over Griphosphaerioma, Metacapnodium over Antennularia, and Neonectria over Cylindrocarpon and Heliscus. The following new combinations are made: Amniculicola longissima, Atichia maunauluana, Diaporthe columnaris, D. liquidambaris, D. longiparaphysata, D. palmicola, D. tersa, Elsinoë bucidae, E.caricae, E. choisyae, E. paeoniae, E. psidii, E. zorniae, Eupelte shoemakeri, Godronia myrtilli, G. raduloides, Sarcinella mirabilis, S. pulchra, Schizothyrium jamaicense, and Trichothallus niger. Finally, one new species name, Diaporthe azadirachte, is introduced to validate an earlier name, and the conservation of Discula with a new type, D. destructiva, is recommended.

“…In addition, numerous D1/D2 sequences, corresponding to different classes, orders and families of ascomycetes retrieved from GenBank or NITE/NRBC databases were included in the phylogenetic study (Table 1). Most of these sequences were published by different authors (Sugiyama et al 1999, Sugiyama & Mikawa 2001, Untereiner et al 2002, Reeb et al 2004, Xi et al 2004, Murata et al 2005, Wang et al 2005, Wedin et al 2005, Kodsueb et al 2006, Réblová & Seifert 2007, Tsui et al 2007, Gueidan et al 2008, Boehm et al 2009, Sugiyama et al 2002, Boonmee et al 2011, Pettersson et al 2011, Réblová et al 2011, Giraldo et al 2013). The selection of these sequences was based on the results of a BLAST search using the D1/D2 and ITS sequences from each of the ex-type strains of the different species of Arthrographis and Arthropsis .…”

Numerous members of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota produce only poorly differentiated arthroconidial asexual morphs in culture. These arthroconidial fungi are grouped in genera where the asexual-sexual connections and their taxonomic circumscription are poorly known. In the present study we explored the phylogenetic relationships of two of these ascomycetous genera, Arthrographis and Arthropsis. Analysis of D1/D2 sequences of all species of both genera revealed that both are polyphyletic, with species being accommodated in different orders and classes. Because genetic variability was detected among reference strains and fresh isolates resembling the genus Arthrographis, we carried out a detailed phenotypic and phylogenetic analysis based on sequence data of the ITS region, actin and chitin synthase genes. Based on these results, four new species are recognised, namely Arthrographis chlamydospora, A. curvata, A. globosa and A. longispora. Arthrographis chlamydospora is distinguished by its cerebriform colonies, branched conidiophores, cuboid arthroconidia and terminal or intercalary globose to subglobose chlamydospores. Arthrographis curvata produced both sexual and asexual morphs, and is characterised by navicular ascospores and dimorphic conidia, namely cylindrical arthroconidia and curved, cashewnut-shaped conidia formed laterally on vegetative hyphae. Arthrographis globosa produced membranous colonies, but is mainly characterised by doliiform to globose arthroconidia. Arthrographis longispora also produces membranous colonies, but has poorly differentiated conidiophores and long arthroconidia. Morphological variants are described for A. kalrae and our results also revealed that Eremomyces langeronii and A. kalrae, traditionally considered the sexual and asexual morphs of the same species, are not conspecific.
