Abstract
Allium wallichii is a perennial herbaceous plant with high genetic diversity, which is mainly distributed in the southwest of Yunnan. During our investigation of the diversity of seed endophytic fungi of A. wallichii, 157 strains of fungi were isolated; among them, 50 strains were identified as Cladosporium spp. based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. Then, two additional loci, tef1-α and act, were sequenced for all strains of Cladosporium. Based on combined ITS, tef1-α and act sequence analyses, these strains were further identified to species level, including 15 known species and a new, so far undescribed, species. Based on combined morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses, one new species is introduced under the name Cladosporium allii-wallichii. Detailed descriptions, illustrations and phylogenetic analyses of the new species are provided in this study.
期刊介绍:
Published by the Microbiology Society and owned by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP), a committee of the Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology Division of the International Union of Microbiological Societies, International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology is the leading forum for the publication of novel microbial taxa and the ICSP’s official journal of record for prokaryotic names.
The journal welcomes high-quality research on all aspects of microbial evolution, phylogenetics and systematics, encouraging submissions on all prokaryotes, yeasts, microfungi, protozoa and microalgae across the full breadth of systematics including:
Identification, characterisation and culture preservation
Microbial evolution and biodiversity
Molecular environmental work with strong taxonomic or evolutionary content
Nomenclature
Taxonomy and phylogenetics.
