Hypoxylon, a large, cosmopolitan genus of Ascomycota is in the focus our current poly-thetic taxonomic studies, and served as an excellent source for bioactive secondary metabolites at same time. The present work concerns survey Hypoxylon fuscum species complex based on specimens from Iran Europe by morphological studies high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry diode array detection (HPLC-MS-DAD). Apart known chemotaxonomic markers like binaphthalene tetrol (BNT)...
In a survey of tropical plant diseases in southern and southeastern Iran, samples diseased Mangifera indica Psidium guava leaves with necrotic symptoms were collected between 2021 2022. Six representative isolates Neopestalotiopsis Robillarda (three for each) studied using morphological characteristics as well multi-locus phylogenetic analysis based on (i) the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region nuclear rDNA, (ii) part translation elongation factor 1-alpha ( tef1 ), (iii) β-tubulin tub2...
During a survey of xylarialean fungi in Northern Iran, several specimens that showed affinities to the Hypoxylon rubiginosum complex were collected and cultured. A comparison their morphological characters, combined with chemotaxonomic study based on high performance liquid chromatography, coupled diode array detection mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD/MS) multi-locus phylogeny ITS, LSU, rbp2 tub2 DNA sequences, revealed new species here described as guilanense . In addition, sensu stricto was...
Contributions of fungal and oomycete communities to freshwater carbon cycling have received increasing attention in the past years. It has been shown that fungi oomycetes constitute key players organic matter ecosystems. Therefore, studying their interactions with dissolved is crucial for understanding aquatic cycle. we studied consumption rates various sources using 17 8 strains recovered from ecosystems EcoPlate™ FF MicroPlate™ approaches. Furthermore, phylogenetic relationships between...
Abstract The xylariaceous genus Dematophora has recently been resurrected and segregated from Rosellinia based on a molecular phylogeny morphological characters. This was an important taxonomic change because in the current sense contains several pathogens, while is limited to mainly saprotrophic species that have endophytic stage their life cycle may even beneficial effects host plants. During our ongoing work functional biodiversity of Xylariales , we encountered new strains rosellinoid...
Kretzschmaria hedjaroudei and iranica are described as new species based on collections from dead wood in northern Iran evidence morphology molecular phylogenetic data.Kretzschmaria is phylogenetically close to deusta, which it differs its stromatal morphology, ascospore size the of apical apparatus.Kretzschmaria similar pavimentosa, but distinguishable by smaller size.Phylogenetic analyses a combined matrix internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region nuclear rDNA α-actin (ACT1) gene sequences...
During a survey of aquatic fungi from Anzali Lagoon in Iran, several fungal specimens were isolated freshwater habitats. Morphological evidence and comparing sequencing based on rDNA (ITS LSU) protein-coding genes (TEF1 TUB2) showed that some isolates belong to undescribed species. These Arthrobotrys Sarocladium, two ascomycetes genera. hyrcanus, sp. nov., differs closely related species such as A. dianchiensis by its larger conidia septation primary conidia. Sarocladium pseudokiliense, was...
In order to identify Daldinia species in Guilan province, several specimens were collected during 2011–13. A total of six taxa, including caldariorum (on Morus alba); D. childiae Parrotia persica, Pterocarya fraxinifolia, alba, Quercus sp., Prunus Citrus sinensis, Gleditschia caspica, Buxus sempervirens, Carpinis betulus and Alnus subcordata); gelatinoides M. cf. loculata fallen wood); pyrenaica B. sempervirens Pt. fraxinifolia), vernicosa Ulmus Ficus P. persica), identified. All identified...
