Finally, a comprehensive list of accepted species in the <em>Eurotiales</em> is given. The classification of the <em>Eurotiales</em> at family and genus level is traditionally based on phenotypic characters, and this classification has since been challenged using sequence-based approaches. Here, we re-evaluated the relationships between families and genera of the <em>Eurotiales</em> using a nine-gene sequence dataset.

Some of the most efficient producers of aflatoxins and ochratoxins have not been described yet. Using a polyphasic approach combining phenotype, physiology, sequence and extrolite data, we describe here eight new species in section <em>Flavi</em>. Phylogenetically, section <em>Flavi</em> is split in eight clades and the section currently contains 33 species. Two species only produce aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> and B<sub>2</sub> (<em>A. pseudotamarii</em> and <em>A. togoensis</em>), and 14 species are able to produce aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub>, B<sub>2</sub>, G<sub>1</sub> and G<sub>2</sub>: three newly described species <em>A. aflatoxiformans, A. austwickii</em> and <em>A. cerealis</em> in addition to <em>A. arachidicola</em>, <em>A. minisclerotigenes</em>, <em>A. mottae, A. luteovirescens</em> (formerly <em>A. bombycis</em>)<em>, A. nomius, A. novoparasiticus, A. parasiticus, A. pseudocaelatus, A. pseudonomius, A. sergii</em> and <em>A. transmontanensis</em>. It is generally accepted that <em>A. flavus</em> is unable to produce type G aflatoxins, but here we report on Korean strains that also produce aflatoxin G<sub>1</sub> and G<sub>2</sub>. One strain of <em>A. bertholletius</em> can produce the immediate aflatoxin precursor 3-O-methylsterigmatocystin, and one strain of <em>Aspergillus sojae</em> and two strains of <em>Aspergillus alliaceus</em> produced versicolorins. Strains of the domesticated forms of <em>A. flavus</em> and <em>A. parasiticus</em>, <em>A. oryzae</em> and <em>A. sojae</em>, respectively, lost their ability to produce aflatoxins, and from the remaining phylogenetically closely related species (belonging to the <em>A. flavus</em>-, <em>A. tamarii</em>-, <em>A. bertholletius</em>- and <em>A. nomius</em>-clades), only <em>A. caelatus</em>, <em>A. subflavus</em> and <em>A. tamarii</em> are unable to produce aflatoxins. With exception of <em>A. togoensis</em> in the <em>A. coremiiformis</em>-clade, all species in the phylogenetically more distant clades (<em>A. alliaceus</em>-, <em>A. coremiiformis</em>-, <em>A. leporis</em>- and <em>A. avenaceus</em>-clade) are unable to produce aflatoxins. Three out of the four species in the <em>A. alliaceus</em>-clade can produce the mycotoxin ochratoxin A: <em>A. alliaceus s</em>. <em>str</em>. and two new species described here as <em>A. neoalliaceus</em> and <em>A. vandermerwei</em>. Eight species produced the mycotoxin tenuazonic acid: <em>A. bertholletius</em>, <em>A. caelatus, A. luteovirescens</em>, <em>A. nomius, A. pseudocaelatus</em>, <em>A. pseudonomius, A. pseudotamarii</em> and <em>A. tamarii</em> while the related mycotoxin cyclopiazonic acid was produced by 13 species: <em>A. aflatoxiformans, A. austwickii, A. bertholletius, A. cerealis, A. flavus, A. minisclerotigenes, ","PeriodicalId":22036,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Mycology","volume":"93 ","pages":"Pages 1-63"},"PeriodicalIF":16.5,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.simyco.2018.06.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36398323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
