Article Abstract

Two new species of the new genus Decimodrilus gen. n. are described in this paper from oak forests of South Korea using a combination of classical morphology and DNA-based molecular taxonomy. A characteristic trait of the new genus is the occurrence of the intestinal diverticula in segments IX-X. The main morphological features of the new genus are: 4-5(6) straight chaetae per bundle, origin of dorsal vessel in clitellar region, anteseptale of nephridia consisting of funnel only, coelomocytes only mucocytes, oesophageal appendages absent, spermathecae united proximally and connected jointly with the oesophagus. Decimodrilus diverticulatus sp. n. has spermathecae with two diverticula-like protrusions and two globular sperm masses. D. globulatus sp. n. has spermathecae with two or three sperm rolls. Molecular taxonomic analysis based on a concatenated phylogenetic tree supports the status of the new genus and that of the two new species.

Ice-free areas are habitats for most of Antarctica's terrestrial biodiversity. Although fungal communities are an important element of these habitats, knowledge of their assemblages and ecological functions is still limited. Herein, we investigated the diversity, composition, and ecological functionality of fungal communities inhabiting sediments from ice-free areas across pristine and anthropogenically impacted sites in the Fildes Peninsula on King George Island, Antarctica.

Three novel strains within the genus (29887, 29892 and 29896) were isolated from healthy pigs during routine veterinary physical exams. All three strains were non-motile and non-spore-forming Gram-positive cocci. The complete genome of each strain was attained, and phylogenetic analyses were performed.
