Abstract Aureobasidium is omnipresent and can be isolated from air, water bodies, soil, wood, other plant materials, as well inorganic materials such rocks marble. A total of 32 species this fungal genus have been identified at the level DNA, which pullulans best known. interest for a sustainable economy because it used to produce wide variety compounds, including enzymes, polysaccharides, biosurfactants. Moreover, promote growth protect wood crops. To end, cells adhere or plants by producing extracellular thereby forming biofilm. This biofilm provides alternative petrol-based coatings toxic chemicals. fact that biofilms potential self-repair make them engineered living material avant la lettre.

Exploring the Diversity and Ecological Dynamics of Palm Leaf Spotting Fungi—A Case Study on Ornamental Palms in Portugal

Journal of Fungi, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 11(1), С. 43 - 43

Опубликована: Янв. 7, 2025

Palm trees (Arecaceae) are among the most popular ornamental plants worldwide. Despite extensive research on fungi associated with Arecaceae, diversity and ecological dynamics of affecting palms remain poorly studied, although they have significant impact palm health economic value. Furthermore, while fungal has traditionally focused tropical assemblages, in temperate climates offer a unique opportunity to explore non-native habitats. The present study conducted preliminary assessment ecology potential phytopathogenic foliar lesions various host species Portugal, combining morphological examination, PCR-based genomic fingerprinting, biodiversity data analysis. examination 134 sampled from 100 resulted collection 2064 leaf spotting (PLSF), representing diverse assemblage 320 molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTUs) across 97 genera. overall community composition revealed distinct dominated by Neosetophoma, Alternaria, Phoma, Cladosporium, profusion infrequent rare taxa consistent logseries distribution. Significantly positive co-occurrence (CO) patterns prevalent uncommon suggest synergistic interactions enhancing colonisation, persistence, pathogenicity. structures PLSF contrasted markedly fungi, especially prevalence pleosporalean coelomycetes Didymellaceae Phaeosphaeriaceae, including recently introduced or not previously documented genera Arecaceae. This novel suggests that climatic constraints shape structure communities, resulting distinctive assemblages. In addition, assemblages varied significantly species, temperate-native hosting more diverse, coelomycete-enriched communities. findings highlight as hyperdiverse microhabitats harbouring communities intricate complex interplay climatic, host, factors. With climate change altering environmental conditions, identification thriving inhabiting these becomes crucial for predicting shifts pathogen mitigating future disease outbreaks.

Lifestyle Transitions in Fusarioid Fungi are Frequent and Lack Clear Genomic Signatures

Molecular Biology and Evolution, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 39(4)

Опубликована: Апрель 1, 2022

The fungal genus Fusarium (Ascomycota) includes well-known plant pathogens that are implicated in diseases worldwide, and many of which have been genome sequenced. also encompasses other diverse lifestyles, including species found ubiquitously as asymptomatic-plant inhabitants (endophytes). Here, we produced structurally annotated assemblies for five endophytic strains, the first whole-genome data chuoi. Phylogenomic reconstruction closely related genera revealed multiple frequent lifestyle transitions, major exception being a monophyletic clade mutualist insect symbionts. Differential codon usage bias increased optimisation separated sensu stricto from allied genera. We performed computational prediction candidate secreted effector proteins (CSEPs) carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes)-both likely to be involved host-fungal interaction-and sought evidence their frequencies could predict lifestyle. However, phylogenetic distance described gene variance better than did. There was no significant difference CSEP, CAZyme, or repertoires between phytopathogenic although did find some copy number variation may contributing pathogenicity. Large numbers accessory CSEPs (i.e., present more one taxon but not all) comparatively low strain-specific suggested there is limited specialisation among associated species. half core genes under positive selection identified specific CAZymes predicted positively selected on certain lineages. Our results depict fusarioid fungi prolific generalists highlight difficulty predicting pathogenic potential group.

Biological knowledge shortfalls impede conservation efforts in poorly studied taxa—A case study of Laboulbeniomycetes

Journal of Biogeography, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 51(1), С. 29 - 39

Опубликована: Сен. 23, 2023

Abstract Most empirical research on biological shortfalls has focused vertebrate taxa. This is important given many species in poorly studied groups such as invertebrates, plants, and fungi are predicted to possess high conservation risk. Here, we focus Laboulbeniomycetes: a class of microfungi that understudied. We examined four shortfalls: Linnean (knowledge gaps diversity), Wallacean distributions), Latimerian persistence), the newly introduced Scottian assessments) shortfalls. The shortfall Laboulbeniomycetes hard predict due inconsistent description rates. Analysis distribution patterns indicates likely experience an extremely shortfall, with having highly disjunct known distributions. analysis shows over half (51%) have not been recorded >50 years, while group collective 100%, none 2454 described received IUCN threat assessment. suggest continued study natural history collections, expanded citizen science programmes, machine‐learning identification approaches tools for reducing knowledge both taxa more generally.
