The Cladia aggregata complex is one of the phenotypically most variable groups in lichenized fungi, making species determination difficult and resulting different classifications accepting between to eight species. Multi-locus DNA sequence data provide an avenue test delimitation scenarios using genealogical coalescent methods, employing gene trees. Here we tested molecular four loci (nuITS IGS rDNA, protein-coding GAPDH Mcm-7), including 474 newly generated sequences. Using a combination ML...
Cases of mushroom poisoning in Thailand have increased annually. During 2008 to 2014, the cases reported National Institute Health included 57 deaths; at least 15 died after ingestion amanitas, most common lethal wild mushrooms inhabited. Hence, aims this study were identify samples from nine clinically during 7-year period based on nuclear ITS sequence data and diagnose peptide toxins using a reversed phase LC-MS method. Nucleotide similarity was identified BLAST search NCBI database...
A new revised checklist of lichenized fungi in Thailand is presented, including 1,292 species. Recent work on the taxonomy these organisms resulted an enormous increase our knowledge lichen biota country – current includes more than twice as many species previous catalogue published 15 years ago and phylogenetic studies numerous changes generic classification fungi. Hence, a here presented summarizing lichens Thailand. Six records are reported, viz. Acanthothecis salazinica, Bactrospora...
Aeromonas dhakensis stands out as the most potent species causing a range of human diseases. This research marks pioneering effort in isolating and characterizing virulent phages targeting A. dhakensis. Only AM isolate among isolates showed compatibility for phage isolation was identified Computational analysis presence virulence factors antimicrobial resistance genes AM. Phage conducted using this particular strain host, resulting four phages: vB_AdhM_DL, vB_AdhS_TS3, vB_AdhM_TS9,...
Phylogenetic relationships of the genera Cladia, Heterodea and Ramalinora were reconstructed using a combined dataset ribosomal nuclear ITS LSU mitochondrial SSU, protein-coding Mcm7 DNA sequences. Maximum likelihood Bayesian analyses strongly supported monophyletic group in which species foliose genus crustose nested within fruticose Cladia. Alternative hypothesis testing rejected an independent status Ramalinora. We tested that adaptive radiation led to morphological disparity found Cladia...
Abstract Phylogenetic relationships of the genera Cladia and Heterodea were reconstructed using a combined dataset nuclear ITS, LSU mitochondrial SSU rDNA sequences. Based on different analyses (Bayesian approach, maximum parsimony, likelihood), ingroup ( + ) is strongly supported as monophyletic. Pilophorus strumaticus has well sister–group relationship to together they form sister group with well–supported clade, which includes Metus conglomeratus Pycnothelia papillaria . The...
The DNA barcode approach is using a short genetic marker for rapid identification of particular species. internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region has been chosen as fungi. Here we tested the potential ITS to identify distinct lineages in Cladia aggregata complex, group lichenized fungi exhibiting remarkable morphological and chemical diversity. Our recent studies multilocus sequence data coalescent-based species delimitation methods supported 12 scenario. In this study, evaluated ratio...
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are commonly used as probiotics; however, not all LAB strains have the same beneficial effects. To successfully use probiotics in canines, species should originate from canine intestinal tract they display host specificity. The objective of this study was to investigate phenotypic and genomic traits potential probiotic strains. isolated fecal samples. Twenty samples were evaluated for their characteristics including resistance low pH, bile salts, hydrophobicity,...
The frequency of mushroom poisoning has increased worldwide. In Thailand, reports on mycetism between 2013 and 2021 included 18 cases Entoloma poisoning. Incorrect identification toxic species occurs during wild foraging, their consumption results in gastrointestinal irritation. Morphological distinction leftovers is difficult; however, we aimed to characterize 40 clinical samples the genus level using macroscopic microscopic analyses. Furthermore, poisonous was performed based multi-locus...
Alpinia galanga is an important species cultivated as a culinary spice and the type of genus. It hence member sect. subsect. (with non-tubular bracteoles). However, molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest that A. closely related to nigra in Allughas tubular This clade, which includes conchigera, strongly supported with bootstrap value (BS) 100% decay index (DI) >+6. These results are based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region 18S–25S nuclear ribosomal DNA. The (405–423bp) was...
Peltigeralean lichenized fungi were surveyed in the mangroves of Trat Province at eastern coast Thailand. Eleven species found belonging to genera Coccocarpia, Lepidocollema, Leptogium and Physma. Among them, genus Coccocarpia was most abundant diverse. Lepidocollema wainioi also recorded here from Thailand for first time. Based on current classification peltigeralean phylogenetic placement suborder Collematineae evaluated using a combined dataset nuclear ITS mitochondrial SSU rDNA...
A recent discovery of Amanita brunneitoxicaria revealed that this mushroom and A. exitialis are the main causative agents fatal poisoning in Thailand. Poisonous amatoxins present bicyclic octapeptides encoded by MSDIN family macrocyclized prolyl oligopeptidase B enzyme. Diversity toxin-associated genes however, remains unexplored. Therefore, study aimed to characterize members comparison with based on whole genome sequencing, followed gene annotation using bioinformatic tools. Identification...
