Characterization of New Species (Basidiomycota, Hymenochaetales, Hymenochaetaceae) Discovered in Tamil Nadu, India.

This study aimed to investigate the morphological characteristics and phylogenetic relationships of three new species of from the southern parts of India. The analyses of the ITS and nLSU regions revealed the novelty of these species, which have been named , , and . All three species possess pileate basidiomes, a monomitic hyphal system in the context, and the presence of cystidioles and setae.

New species of (Basidiomycota, Hymenochaetales, Hymenochaetaceae) from India, with a key to Afro-Asian Tropicoporus species.

The complex, predominantly reported from East Asia, Mesoamerica and Caribbean countries, was circumscribed into as one of the new genera, based on morphological and phylogenetic data. The present paper describes four new species of from India. Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses, based on ITS and nLSU data, delimited the new species, which are named , , and .

Elucidating the inhibitory mechanism of yeast α-glucosidase by phytocompounds from through and approach.

Antidiabetic activity of herb used in traditional medicine is well established, yet, the molecular mechanism is not understood. In this study, in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory effects of aqueous extract and its kinetics were investigated and in silico analysis was carried out. showed potent inhibition of α-glucosidase with low ICvalue (30 μg/mL).

Fungal diversity notes 1512-1610: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa.

This article is the 14th in the Fungal Diversity Notes series, wherein we report 98 taxa distributed in two phyla, seven classes, 26 orders and 50 families which are described and illustrated. Taxa in this study were collected from Australia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, China, Cyprus, Egypt, France, French Guiana, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Mexico, Russia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. There are 59 new taxa, 39 new hosts and new geographical distributions with one new combination.

Molecular Taxonomy of Ganoderma cupreum from Southern India Inferred from ITS rDNA Sequences Analysis.

Ganoderma is a cosmopolitan wood-rot basidiomycete that has been extensively studied for its pathogencity and medicinal properties. Identification of Ganoderma based on macro-microscopic features led to large number of synonyms which resulted in 250 taxonomic names. A Ganoderma species collected from Courtallam, Tamil Nadu was identified as G.

Ganoderma australe from southern India.

The genetic diversity of Ganoderma australe (Fr.) Pat. from southern India was investigated by using ITS1/2 rDNA.
