Sporidesmiellalignicola sp. nov., a new hyphomycetous fungus from freshwater habitats in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Freshwater fungi, growing on submerged wood, can promote the degradation of organisms and the reuse of rotten wood energy and play key roles in freshwater ecosystems. Here, a new hyphomycetous fungus, Sporidesmiellalignicola, was isolated and identified from submerged wood samples collected in a small stream in Jiangxi Province, south-eastern China.

New information

The new taxon was studied, based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses combined with LSU, ITS, TEF1α and RPB2 sequences data. Sporidesmiellalignicola was morphologically characterised by its pink colonies on PDA medium in prophase, macronematous, mononematous, solitary, brown, septate, unbranched, straight or slightly flexuous conidiophores with holoblastic, p
