Abstract
During an investigation of fungi of the orders Mucorales and Mortierellales in Korea, a new Backusella species, Backusella terrestris sp. nov., and three new records, Entomortierella sugadairana, Mucor nederlandicus, and Poitrasia circinans, were found in soil and freshwater samples. All species are described based on morphological and molecular evidence. Backusella terrestris is characterized by globose or subglobose sporangiospores, a variable (globose, subglobose, oval, or oblong) columellae, chlamydospore production, and a maximum growth temperature of 34 °C. The distinct characteristics of the new species and their closely related species are discussed. An identification key to the Backusella species of Korea is also presented.
期刊介绍:
Mycobiology is an international journal devoted to the publication of fundamental and applied investigations on all aspects of mycology and their traditional allies. It is published quarterly and is the official publication of the Korean Society of Mycology. Mycobiology publishes reports of basic research on fungi and fungus-like organisms, including yeasts, filamentous fungi, lichen fungi, oomycetes, moulds, and mushroom. Topics also include molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, metabolism, developmental biology, environmental mycology, evolution, ecology, taxonomy and systematics, genetics/genomics, fungal pathogen and disease control, physiology, and industrial biotechnology using fungi.
