Two yeast strains (NYNU 211162 and NYNU 211275) were isolated from rotting wood collected in the Baotianman Nature Reserve, Henan Province, central China. Phylogenetic analysis of the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region revealed that the strains represent a phylogenetically distinct species within the genus . The name fa., sp. nov. is proposed for this species with holotype CICC 33543 (Mycobank MB 851142). sp. nov. differed by only 3 nt (~0.5 %) substitutions from the closest known species NCAIM Y.01817 in the D1/D2 domain, but by 33 nt (~6 %) substitutions, 34 nt (~3.8 %) substitutions, 30 nt (~5.6 %) substitutions and 75 nt (~9.9 %) substitutions in the ITS region and the partial , and genes. Additionally, sp. nov. can be physiologically distinguished from by its ability to assimilate inulin, inability to assimilate ethylamine and cadaverine, and incapability of growth at 30 °C.

  • Taibai Beimu (Fritillaria taipaiensis) is a traditional Chinese herb used for respiratory problems, but in 2022 and 2023, foliage issues such as yellowing and wilting were noted in a field in Shenluo.
  • Infected bulbs displayed brown to black lesions, and fifty symptomatic bulbs were analyzed to investigate the cause of the disease.
  • The analysis revealed similarities to the fungus Fusarium avenaceum, and various morphological characteristics and genomic DNA were studied to confirm this identification.

Over the last several years, foot rot caused by has become the most destructive sweetpotato disease in the southernmost region of Japan. Breeding of cultivars resistant to foot rot is required for effective and low-cost management. Field tests are often used to evaluate resistance of cultivars, but this approach has several limitations, including a long test period of several months and the requirement of field isolation and labor-intensive procedures.

Phaeoid (dematiaceous) fungi are a diverse group of species characterized by their production of the pigment dihydroxynaphthalene melanin. Although phaeoid fungi do not usually cause human infections, they are commonly found in nature as contaminants. These fungi are present in decomposing vegetation, rotting timber, and soil.
