Abstract
Vaginatispora acrostichi sp. nov. was isolated from submerged stems of Acrostichum aureum (Pteridaceae) collected from the mangrove habitats of Pranburi District, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand. Phylogenetic analyses based on the combined dataset of LSU, SSU, ITS, tef1-α, rpb2, and β-tub sequences placed the novel species within Vaginatispora. Vaginatispora acrostichi formed a well-supported sister clade with V. lignicola but differs from it morphologically and phylogenetically. Vaginatispora acrostichi is distinguishable from V. lignicola by ascospore size, septation and colour. The ascospores of V. acrostichi turn light brown at maturity and have a single septum with a minute constriction, while those of V. lignicola appear yellowish at maturity and have 1–3 septa with pronounced constriction. Vaginatispora acrostichi is introduced in this paper as a novel species with a comprehensive description and illustration.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
