AI Article Synopsis
- Two new species of aquatic hyphomycetes named Tricladium kelleri and Tricladium alaskense were discovered in streams in Alaska.
- Both species were found on decaying sedges and exhibit unique characteristics, such as the blackish colonies of T. kelleri and the branching conidia of T. alaskense.
- The study utilized morphological comparisons and rDNA sequencing to analyze these species, placing them within the Helotiales order in terms of molecular phylogeny.
Article Abstract
Two new species of aquatic hyphomycetes in the genus Tricladium are described from streams in Alaska, USA. Both species were isolated from submerged decaying sedges. Tricladium kelleri has blackish colonies and typical tricladioid conidia formed on sympodial conidiogenous cells. Tricladium alaskense has conidia with fine elements and 0-4 lateral branches; conidia are formed on sympodial conidiogenous cells. The two species are compared to other species in the genus and related genera using morphological characters and/or rDNA sequencing data (ITS and 28S). Molecular phylogenetic analysis placed both species in the Helotiales.
