Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify diversity) with nomenclature name diversity). Two proposals amend International Code Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), allowing DNA sequences alone (of any region extent) serve as taxon names voucherless fungi (mainly putative taxa from...
The past decade has seen the emergence of multidrug resistant pathogens as a leading cause death worldwide, reigniting interest in field phage therapy. Modern advances genetic engineering bacteriophages have enabled several useful results including host range alterations, constitutive lytic growth, and control over replication. However, slow licensing process genetically modified organisms clearly inhibits rapid therapeutic application novel engineered variants necessary to fight mutant that...
Wild mushroom (macrofungi) picking has become a popular activity in Israel recent years. Besides the estimated 135 edible species, mycobiota of includes also around 65 poisonous and potentially dangerous species. We conducted long-term retrospective study to monitor frequency, severity, seasonal character, species composition, geographic distribution exposure poisoning Israel. Using data collected by Poison Information Center Rambam Health Care Campus, Haifa, during years 2010-2021, we...
Nolanea is a well-known and long-established subgenus of the genus Entoloma traditionally defined mainly by mycenoid basidiocarps included species. Until now, revisions this including molecular data exist only on regional scale. In study, phylogeny species analysed based multi-gene DNA sequences specimens from all continents. New primers are designed for mitochondrial small subunit RPB2 . The performance loci in reconstructing subg. evaluated. An ancestral state reconstruction used to infer...
The boletoid genera
Abstract Only two Coccoloba -associated xerocomoid boletes with smooth basidiospores are currently known from the Dominican Republic, namely Boletus ruborculus and Xerocomus coccolobae . A multilocus phylogenetic analysis of four gene markers (ITS, LSU, RPB2 , TEF1 ) reveals that B forms an autonomous clade in Boletaceae corresponding to a novel genus, which is introduced here as Tropicoboletus gen. nov., whereas X. confirmed member s. str. sister subfamily Xerocomoideae combined / -wide...
This paper presents information about Boletus poikilochromus, B. pulchrotinctus, and pulverulentus in Israel. These species are reported for the first time Israel, also pulchrotinctus poikilochromus Asia. Furthermore, these three association with Quercus calliprinos. Macro- microscopical characteristics, distribution, ecology, illustrations related to morphology anatomy of provided.
Abstract The increasing incidence of bacterial infections caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens worldwide underlines the need to develop novel diagnostic tools enabling early initiation targeted antimicrobial therapy. One promising possibility is unite high specificity and sensitivity phage-based applications with speed provided microfluidic devices. As a prerequisite developing such systems, we aimed at directional immobilization phages on surface Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), material...
Cloning the genes and operons encoding heterologous functions in bacterial hosts is now almost exclusively carried out using plasmid vectors. This has multiple drawbacks, including need for constant selection variation copy numbers. The chromosomal integration of transgenes always offered a viable alternative; however, to date, it been limited use due its tedious nature often being single copy. We introduce here strategy that uses insertion sequences, which are simplest autonomous...
Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows:
A new species, Geastrum juliae, is described from Primorsky Krai in the Russian Far East. Based on analysis of sequences retrieved GenBank, this taxon also found China. The closest species G. rubellum based morphology and phylogenetics. We present with illustrated descriptions molecular data.
