Abstract
Absidia is ubiquitous and plays a critical function in biotechnology and medicine. It is characterized by single sporangiophores, in pairs or groups on stolons, bearing apophysate and pyriform sporangia with a deliquescent wall. This study isolated and proposed Absidia thailandica sp. nov. as an addition to Mucorales from Thailand. Phylogenetic analyses of IITS + LSU rDNA data showed that this species is related to A. ovalispora and A. soli. However, it differs from A. ovalispora by the absence of swollen parts on the sporangiophores and shape of rhizoids and can be distinguished from A. soli by the shape of rhizoids, size of sporangiospores and shape and size of columellae. This study expands the diversity of soil fungi in Thailand.
期刊介绍:
Phytotaxa is a peer-reviewed, international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic and taxonomic botany, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs, floras, revisions and evolutionary studies and descriptions of new taxa. Phytotaxa covers all groups covered by the International Code of Nomenclature foralgae, fungi, and plants ICNafp (fungi, lichens, algae, diatoms, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and vascular plants), both living and fossil. Phytotaxa was founded in 2009 as botanical sister journal to Zootaxa. It has a large editorial board, who are running this journal on a voluntary basis, and it is published by Magnolia Press (Auckland , New Zealand). It is also indexed by SCIE, JCR and Biosis.
All types of taxonomic, floristic and phytogeographic papers are considered, including theoretical papers and methodology, systematics and phylogeny, monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues, biographies and bibliographies, history of botanical explorations, identification guides, floras, analyses of characters, phylogenetic studies and phytogeography, descriptions of taxa, typification and nomenclatural papers. Monographs and other long manuscripts (of 60 printed pages or more) can be published as books, which will receive an ISBN number as well as being part of the Phytotaxa series.
