Abstract The phylogeny and systematics of cordycipitoid fungi have been extensively studied in the last two decades. However, systematic positions some taxa family Cordycipitaceae not yet thoroughly resolved. In this study, a new phylogenetic framework is reconstructed using multigene (nr SSU , nr LSU, tef-1α, rpb1 rpb2 ) sequence data with large-scale taxon sampling. addition, ITS species belonging to Lecanicillium lineage are used further determine their placements. Based on molecular...
A new invertebrate-associated fungus, Ophiocordyceps furcatosubulata, is reported from China, Vietnam and Laos. It characterized by solitary stromata, clavate slender stipes, cylindrical fertile parts, furcate subulate sterile apices, immersed perithecia, short asci, filiform ascospores with multi-septa, secondary ascospores, hirsutella-like asexual morph polyphialidic conidiogenous cells, broadly ellipsoid or conidia, on larvae of elaterid beetles buried in soil. Both morphological...
SARS-CoV-2, which emerged in Wuhan, China, is a new global threat that has killed millions of people and continues to do so. This pandemic not only threatened human life but also triggered economic downturns across the world. Researchers have made significant strides discovering molecular insights into SARSCoV- 2 pathogenesis developing vaccines, there still no successful cure for SARS-CoV-2 infected patients.The present study proposed drug-repositioning pipeline design discovery an...
Ophiocordyceps sinensis is a famous traditional Chinese medicine adapted to the alpine environment of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and adjacent regions. Clarification species diversity its relatives could expand medicinal resources provide insights into speciation adaptation. The study prompted by discovery new species, O. megala, described here from biodiversity hotspot in Hengduan Mountains, China. Combined morphological, ecological, phylogenetic evidence supports distinctiveness sinensis,...
Clonostachys, a genus with rich morphological and ecological diversity in Bionectriaceae, has wide distribution among diverse habitats.In the present study, phylogenetic framework is reconstructed for family Bionectriaceae focusing on Clonostachys through increased taxon-sampling using nrLSU sequence. Through surveying China, Vietnam, Thailand over past 3 years, seven spp. were found identified. Two new species, C. chuyangsinensis kunmingensis, are described illustrated based characteristics...
Abstract Some Ophiocordyceps species infecting ants are able to manipulate the host behavior. The hosts manipulated in order move location that advantageous for fungal spore transmission. ant's behavior called "zombie-ant fungi". They widespread within tropical forests worldwide, with relatively few reports from subtropical monsoon evergreen broad-leaf forest. Zombie-ant fungi have been described and reported different countries worldwide. However, there were a China. This study proposed six...
Ophiocordyceps lanpingensis (O. lanpingensis) belongs to the genus Ophiocordyceps, which is often found in Yunnan Province, China. This species pharmacologically important for treatment of renal disorders induced by oxidative stress and an inadequate immune response. In present study, mitogenome O. was determined be a circular molecule 117,560 bp length, have 31% G + C content 69% A T content. comprised 82% whole genome that codes significant genes. The protein-coding regions mitogenome,...
Two new termite-pathogenic species, Ophiocordyceps globiperitheciata and O. longistipes , are described from Yunnan Province, China. Six-locus (ITS, nrSSU, nrLSU, tef-1α rpb1 rpb2 ) phylogenetic analyses in combination with morphological observations were employed to characterize these two species. Phylogenetically, is most closely related Hirsutella cryptosclerotium communis whereas shares a sister relationship fusiformis . However, differs H. by parasitizing Blattodea producing clavate,...
Polycephalomyces yunnanensis is described as a new species that parasitizes Ophiocordyceps nutans and stink bugs (hemipteran adults). It characterized by the production of viscous mass at apex its synnema, it has two types conidia (α- β-conidia) phialides β-phialides). A morphological ecological investigation revealed P. distinct from any known in genus. Phylogenetic analyses based on ITS 5-locus (nrSSU, nrLSU, tef-1α, rpb1 rpb2) data supported treatment this fungus species.
The fungus Ophiocordyceps sinensis is endemic to the vast region of Qinghai-Tibetan plateau (QTP). unique and complex geographical environmental conditions have led "sky island" distribution structure O. sinensis. Due limited unbalanced sample collections, previous data on regarding its genetic diversity spatial been deemed insufficient. In this study, we analyzed phylogeographic structures using internally transcribed spacer (ITS) 5-locus datasets by a large-scale sampling. A total 111...
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of O. gracilis was sequenced and assembled before being compared with related species. As second largest mitogenome reported in family Ophiocordycipitaceae, (voucher OG201301) is a circular DNA molecule 134,288 bp that contains numerous introns longer intergenomic regions. UCA detected as anticodon tRNA-Sec gracilis, while comparative analysis nine Ophiocordycipitaceae fungi indicated order contents PCGs rRNA genes were considerably conserved...
The mycoparasite fungi of Clonostachys have contributed to the biological control plant fungal disease and nematodes. strains were isolated from Ophiocordyceps highlandensis, Ophiocordycepsnigrolla soil, which identified as Clonostachyscompactiuscula, Clonostachysrogersoniana, Clonostachyssolani sp. To explore evolutionary relationship between mentioned species, mitochondrial genomes four species sequenced assembled. mitogenomes consisted complete circular DNA molecules, with total sizes...
Nuclear safety-class DCS is used for nuclear reactor protection function, which one of the key facilities to ensure power plant safety, maintenance keep system in a high reliability significant. In this paper, developed by Power Institute China investigated, model estimation considering emergency trip control process carried out using Markov transfer process. According System-Subgroup-Module hierarchical iteration calculation, evolution curve failure probability established, and preventive...
Cochliobolus miyabeanus is known as a significant causal agent in relation to brown spot disease of rice and causes yield losses. In the present study, complete mitochondrial genome was determined using next-generation sequencing technology. This mitogenome circular molecule 124,887 bp length. It contains 13 conserved protein-coding genes, 21 transfer RNA 2 ribosomal genes 9 open reading frames. The overall base composition C. 35.4% A, 34.4% T, 14.4% C, 15.8% G, with CG content 30.2%....
The Cordyceps militaris complex, which is a special group in the genus Cordyceps, rich species diversity and widely distributed nature. Throughout investigations of arthropod-pathogenic fungi national reserves Vietnam parks, collections C. attacking lepidopteran pupae or larvae were located soil on leaf litter. phylogenetic analyses combined nrSSU, nrLSU, TEF, RPB1, RPB2 sequence data indicated that fungal materials collected belonged to two hidden complex. morphological comparisons...
Samsoniella is a ubiquitous genus of cosmopolitan arthropod-pathogenic fungi in the family Cordycipitaceae. The have economic, medicinal, and ecological importance. Prior taxonomic studies these relied predominantly on phylogenetic inferences from five loci, namely, nuclear ribosomal small large subunits (nr SSU nr LSU), 3’ portion translation elongation factor 1 alpha (3P_ TEF ), RNA polymerase II 2 ( RPB1 RPB2 ). Despite many new species being described, not all recognized inside this...
The genus Metarhizium is one of the most significant entomopathogenic fungi with diverse morphological characteristics and host species. Species have been widely used for pest control as an environmentally safe alternative to chemical pesticides. This study reports a new species record M. bibionidarum from China. taxonomic positions two within were assessed by multi-gene phylogenetic data. assessment confirmed that dianzhongense on white grubs (Coleoptera) sister ellipsoideum adult...
