RESUMO

Five isolates of a xerophilic Talaromyces species were obtained from honey in Japan. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on a combined dataset for four regions (rRNA internal transcribed spacer, ß-tubulin, calmodulin and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit) revealed that the strains formed an independent clade in section Trachyspermi, which is sister to Talaromyces affinitatimellis, Talaromyces basipetosporus and Talaromyces speluncarum. The strains and their relatives have different growth on creatine agar, yeast extract sucrose agar and dichloran 18 % glycerol agar, different branching patterns (mostly monoverticillate or biverticillate, less frequently divaricate or terverticillate), and different sizes and surface structures of conidia. Xerotolerance tests were also conducted using media adjusted to five different sucrose concentrations (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 %). The colony diameters of the strains were larger than those of T. affinitatimellis, T. basipetosporus and T. speluncarum at each sucrose concentration. Altogether, the obtained morphological, molecular and physiological data allowed the proposal of Talaromyces mellisjaponici sp. nov. for this novel species, with NBRC 116048T as the type strain.

RESUMO

The species diversity of xerophilic and halophilic fungi distributed in marine surface water was studied at four local sites located in two geographically distant regions in Japan. At each site, 5-10 samples were collected and isolated using an osmophilic medium. Species identification was conducted based on nucleotide sequence of calmodulin or ß -tubulin and morphological characteristics for Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Talaromyces, and on the sequences of rRNA internal transcribed spacer for the other taxa. Overall, 231 strains were isolated from all sites and classified into 85 species belonged to 12 orders and 33 genera. The isolates that showed better mycelial growth than the control(no NaCl added) in the halotolerance test were defined as halophilic fungi, and only 22 species(10 Aspergillus species and 12 Penicillium species) were halophilic. Comparison of the halophilic fungal flora of the two regions revealed that four species common to both regions were isolated for Aspergillus, but no such species were isolated for Penicillium. Given that 15 halophilic species(10 Aspergillus and 5 Penicillium species) are known to be xerophilic species distributed in indoor environments, it can be inferred that indoor xerophilic species are likely to be widely distributed in marine surface water.

RESUMO

Archaeorhizomyces is a diverse and ubiquitous genus of the subphylum Taphrinomycotina, which contains soil-inhabiting/root-associated fungi. Although ecological importance and root-associating lifestyles of Archaeorhizomyces can be postulated, morphological aspects of fungal body and root colonization are largely unknown due to the scarcity of cultures. We obtained three unidentified Archaeorhizomyces isolates from ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) roots of Rhododendron scabrum and Rhododendron × obtusum collected in Japan. To advance our understanding of lifestyle of the genus, we investigated their general morphology, phylogeny, and in vitro root-colonizing ability in ericoid mycorrhizal hosts, Vaccinium virgatum and Rhododendron kaempferi. Some morphological characteristics, such as slow glowing white-to-creamy-colored colonies and formation of yeast-like or chlamydospore-like cells, were shared between our strains and two described species, Archaeorhizomycesfinlayi and Archaeorhizomyces borealis, but they were phylogenetically distant. Our strains were clearly distinguished as two undescribed species based on morphology and phylogenetic relationship. As seen in typical ErM fungi, both species frequently formed hyphal coils within vital rhizodermal cells of ErM plants in vitro. The morphology of hyphal coils was also different between species. Consequently, two novel species, Archaeorhizomyces notokirishimae sp. nov. and Archaeorhizomyces ryukyuensis sp. nov., were described.
