基于rDNA ITS序列探讨部分腐霉种的系统发育与其形态特征

基于对73株计58种腐霉和6种疫霉的核糖体DNA的ITS序列分析,以海生疫霉为外围群,按邻接法构建系统发育树,对腐霉的系统发育关系进行了研究。结果表明:在58种腐霉中,Pythium ostracodes,P.chamaehyphon,P.carbonicum,P.montanum和P.vexans归为同一组,介于其它腐霉和疫霉之间,这5种腐霉的孢子囊均为球形;现已归为疫霉属的P.undulatum 单独为一组,它与腐霉的亲缘关系比疫霉更近;其余52种腐霉聚成一大组,这52种腐霉基本上按孢子囊或菌丝膨大体形态分成Ⅰ、Ⅱ两组:第1组31种腐霉, 其中30种腐霉的孢子囊或菌丝膨大体为球形;第Ⅱ组21种腐霉,其中19种腐霉的孢子囊为丝状、瓣状或裂片状。基于ITS序列分析,腐霉属的其它性状如藏卵器壁是否光滑、卵孢子是否满器、雄器的着生方式和数量、异宗配合等呈多元演化。

ITS region of the rDNA of Pythium longandrum, a new species; its taxonomy and its comparison with related species

Pythium longandrum (F-73.0) was isolated, from soil samples taken in Lille in northern France. Morphologically the fungus resembles closely Pythium rostratum, however its antheridial characters are unique. The oogonia of this species are provided with hypogynous and monoclinous antheridia. The antheridial cells are inflated and are probably the largest and longest for the genus. The internal transcribed spacer region of its nuclear ribosomal DNA indicates that it is entirely different from all other species of Pythium. This new species is characterized by its spherical to elongated sporangia, smooth-walled oogonia and hypogynous to monoclinous antheridia bearing long antheridial cells closely applied to the oogonia. Morphological features of this new species, together with the sequences of the ITS region of its nuclear ribosomal DNA and comparison with related species are discussed here.     

ITS1 region of the rDNA of Pythium proliferatum, a new species: its taxonomy and its comparison with related species

A new species, Pythium proliferatum (F-382), was isolated from soil samples taken in Genlis in the burgundian region of France. The fungus is unique because of the character combinations of its large, spherical to elongated, proliferating sporangia, and its smooth walled oogonia supplied with different types of antheridia like hypogynous, monoclinous sessile, monoclinous stalked, diclinous and wrapping around the oogonia. Almost all types of antheridia that are found in the genus are present in this new species. Morphological features of this new species, together with the sequences of the ITS1 region of its nuclear ribosomal DNA and its comparison with related species are discussed in this article.     

Two new species,Pythium agreste and P. wuhanense,based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequence data

In an investigation of Pythium species in China, two new species, P. agreste and P. wuhanense, were identified based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequence data. Pythium agreste has slightly inflated sporangia, oogonia encompassed by antheridia and antheridial stalks forming a very complicated knot, and plerotic oospores. It differs from the morphologically similar P. volutum which has inflated sporangia, bigger oogonia, and aplerotic oospores; from P. kashmirense which has contiguous inflated sporangia, catenulate oogonia and coiled or bent oogonial stalks; and from P. pectinolyticum which has catenulate oogonia and bigger oogonia and oospores. Pythium wuhanense can be differentiated from morphologically similar P. emineosum and P. paroecandrum by its possession of intercalary cylindrical to elongated sporangia and intercalary oogonia catenulate with sporangia and antheridia. Phylogenetic analyses showed that these two new species were clearly separated from morphologically similar Pythium species, based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequences using maximum parsimony and Bayesian methods. The two new species are described and illustrated in detail.     

Phylogenetic relationships of Pythium and Phytophthora species based on ITS rDNA, cytochrome oxidase II and beta-tubulin gene sequences

Fifty-eight isolates representing 39 Pythium species and 17 isolates representing nine Phytophthora species were chosen to investigate intra- and intergeneric relationships with sequence analysis of three genomic areas. The internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS1 and ITS2), including the 5.8S gene of the ribosomal DNA were PCR amplified with the universal primers ITS1 and ITS4. On the other hand 563 bp of the cytochrome oxidase II (cox II) gene was amplified with the primer pair FM66 and FM58 for Pythium and FM75 and FM78 for Phytophthora. The 658 bp partial beta-tubulin gene was amplified with the forward primer BT5 and reverse primer BT6. Maximum parsimony analysis of the three DNA regions revealed four major clades, reflective of sporangial morphology. Clade 1 was composed of Pythium isolates that bear filamentous to lobulate sporangia. Clade 2 represents Pythium isolates that bear globose to spherical zoosporangia or spherical hyphal swellings. Meanwhile Phytophthora isolates were lumped into Clade 3 wherein the papillate, semipapillate and nonpapillate species occupied separate subclades. Lastly, Clade 4 was composed of Pythium species that bear subglobose sporangia resembling the papillate sporangia observed in Phytophthora. Hence a number of species (Ph. undulata, P. helicoides, P. ostracodes, P. oedochilum and P. vexans) have been proposed to be the elusive intermediate species in the Pythium-to-Phytophthora evolutionary line.     

Pythium carbonicum,a new species isolated from a spoil heap in northern France,the ITS region,taxonomy and comparison with related species

Pythium carbonicum (F-72) sp. nov. was found in soil samples taken on the top of a spoil heap in northern France. The morphology of this new species resembles that of a recently described species: Pythium megacarpum. However, the antheridial and oogonial characteristics of this new species are unique, and the comparison of its ITS region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA indicates that this species is also related to the genus Phytophthora. The fungus does not sporulate, the sporangia germinate directly into mycelium through germ tubes. The oogonia of P. carbonicum are smooth-walled and also papillated, and are provided with monoclinous and diclinous antheridia that wrap around, forming a complicated knot. Morphological features of this new species, together with the sequences of the ITS region of its nuclear ribosomal DNA and its comparison with related species are discussed here.     

Pythium burgundicum sp. nov. isolated from soil samples taken in French vineyards

During the course of investigation on pythiaceous fungi occurring in the Burgundian vineyards, a new species of Pythium has been isolated. This oomycete is characterized by its nonproliferating and nonsporulating, spherical to cylindrical type of sporangia (hyphal bodies) germinating through germ tubes, smooth-walled oogonia that are supplied with hypogynous, monoclinous or rarely diclinous antheridia, and smooth-walled oospores. The antheridial cells are very prominent and are reminiscent of Pythium bifurcatum, Pythium segnitium and Pythium longandrum described previously by the author. The internal transcribed spacer region of the rRNA of this new species is composed of 883 bases, which is quite different from that of the closest relatives. Morphological and molecular features of this new species, named as Pythium burgundicum , are discussed in this article.
