AI Article Synopsis

  • This study investigates the species diversity of a certain genus in central China, which has not been thoroughly explored before.
  • Researchers used genetic analysis of specific DNA regions from two newly identified species, sp. nov. and sp. nov., found in rotting wood.
  • The findings suggest that there is a significant variety of this genus in central China, highlighting opportunities for further research and discoveries.

Article Abstract

Species in the genus have previously been reported primarily in the northeast and northwest regions of China; the species diversity of in central China is not currently clear. In this study, phylogenetic inferences of based on sequences of a single-locus (LSU D1/D2) and a two-locus (LSU D1/D2 and ITS) were conducted. Two new species isolated from rotting wood in central China, namely sp. nov. and sp. nov., were delimited and proposed based on morphological and molecular evidence. was closely related to CBS 10610, but with 11.5% divergence in the LSU D1/D2 domains and 11.5% divergence in the ITS regions. was a sister to CBS 6936 from which it differs with 4.7% divergence in the LSU D1/D2 domains and 5.4% divergence in the ITS regions. Description of sp. nov. and sp. nov. was also supported by morphological comparisons and genomic analyses between the two new species and their closest relatives, CBS 10610 and CBS 6936. These results indicate a potentially great diversity of spp. inhabiting rotting wood in central China, ripe for future discovery.
