Abstract

Strain KNUF-23-295 was obtained from a soil sample collected from Nami-myeon, Geumsan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do Province, South Korea, during a survey of fungal diversity in Korean soils. Molecular analysis based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions revealed 97.3% sequence similarity to Phialomyces macrosporus but comparatively lower similarities to other species in the genus Phialomyces, including P. humicoloides (94.6%) and P. arenicola (94.4%). These results suggest that the strain is phylogenetically affiliated with the genus Phialomyces. Furthermore, strain KNUF-23-295 exhibited distinct cultural and morphological characteristics that differentiated it from closely related species. It was characterized by the production of a pink pigment on potato dextrose agar, asymmetrical colonies on cornmeal agar, shorter and narrower conidiophores (6.5-20.0 × 2.5-3.9 μm), bottle-shaped phialides (8.4-20.9 × 2.0-4.7 μm), and a distinctive conidial arrangement consisting of solitary conidia, short chains (two to five), long chains (up to 15), and aggregates. Two phylogenetic trees based on a concatenated dataset of ITS, LSU, Cct8, and RPB2 sequences consistently placed strain KNUF-23-295 as a distinct and well-supported lineage in the genus Phialomyces, providing strong phylogenetic evidence for its novelty. The morphological characteristics and multilocus phylogenetic data indicate that strain KNUF-23-295 is a novel species, for which the name P. koreanus sp. nov. is proposed.

韩国紫霉属,一种新型土壤真菌。
菌株KNUF-23-295是在对韩国土壤真菌多样性进行调查时,从韩国忠清南道金山郡南面采集的土壤样品中获得的。内部转录间隔区(ITS)的分子分析结果显示,该菌株与大孢子菌菌(phalomyces macrosporus)的序列相似性为97.3%,而与其他菌属(P. humicoloides)和沙菌(P. arenicola)的相似性较低。这些结果表明,该菌株在系统发育上属于紫霉属。此外,菌株KNUF-23-295表现出明显的培养和形态特征,将其与近缘种区分开来。其特征是在马铃薯葡萄糖琼脂上产生粉红色色素,在玉米粉琼脂上产生不对称菌落,分生孢子体较短且较窄(6.5 ~ 20.0 × 2.5 ~ 3.9 μm),瓶形小孢子体(8.4 ~ 20.9 × 2.0 ~ 4.7 μm),分生孢子的排列由单生孢子、短链孢子(2 ~ 5条)、长链孢子(可达15条)和聚集体组成。基于ITS, LSU, Cct8和RPB2序列串联数据集的两个系统发育树一致地将菌株KNUF-23-295作为philalomyces属中独特且得到良好支持的谱系,为其新颖性提供了强有力的系统发育证据。形态学特征和多位点系统发育数据表明,菌株KNUF-23-295是一个新种,建议将其命名为P. koreanus sp. nov。

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.
