Phylogenetic placement of Blastocladiopsis parva (Blastocladiomycota)

摘要

Blastocladiopsis parva was originally placed in Blastocladia under an invalid name, and was latersegregated out of that genus based on resting spore morphology. Later authors showed resting sporemorphology was not sufficient to delineate a new genus and advocated using physiology and growth formbut did not formally amend the generic description. Using an isolate obtained in Alabama and ampliconbased next generation sequencing, we place Blastocladiopsis parva in a molecular phylogeny, whichconfirms separating it from Blastocladia and emend the generic description to include growth form andphysiology.Published on-line www.phytologia.org Phytologia 100(1): 104-110 (Mar 16, 2018).
