新的蜜环菌生物种

对湖北、西藏等地区的蜜环菌进行调查,发现了1个新蜜环菌生物种CBS P和2个互交不育子实体标本,均为四极性异宗配合。扩大了部分生物种的分布范围,试验结果显示西南地区为CBS J的分布中心。     

中国蜜环菌的新生物种

在调查研究蜜环菌生物种的过程中,先后在东北、华北、华中和西南地区,发现了四个新的中国蜜环菌生物种,CBS F、CBS G、CBS H和CBS I。研究表明,CBS G属于典型的同宗配合种,其余三个为异宗配合。CBS H与CBS C之间存在部分互交可育,比例高达17.8%,在同一个国家的两个种之间出现如此高的互交可育比例还是首次报道。上述三个生物种同欧美的已知蜜环菌种均互交不育,为亚洲特有种。CBS I为无菌环的假蜜环菌A.tabescens (Scop. ) Emel,它与欧洲的假蜜环菌互交可育,属于同种。但同中国其它各生物种互交不育。同时讨论了蜜环菌生物种的群体观点。     

鄂西地区蜜环菌生物种的遗传多样性研究

蜜环菌属Armillaria真菌是世界范围内广泛分布的担子菌,既是引起森林病害的重要病原菌,也是天麻和猪苓生长的必须共生真菌,具有重要的经济价值。本文对我国鄂西天麻主产区即神农架林区、大老岭自然保护区、宜昌市所属的夷陵区和五峰县、恩施自治州等地进行了系统的调查采样,共获得45份蜜环菌子实体样本及其二倍体菌株,其中通过孢子印分离获得约320个单孢菌株。在此基础上,采用IGS、ITS和elongation factor-1 alpha（EF1-α）分子标记对45份二倍体菌株进行测序和系统发育分析,对有单孢株的样本采用遗传互交不育性实验进行生物种鉴定。结果表明,鄂西地区的蜜环菌分为4个clade,共有6个不同的蜜环菌生物种,分别为CBS J,CBS L,CBS N,CBS O,CBS F和Armillaria mellea,具有丰富的遗传多样性。其中,24个样本鉴定为CBS L,是鄂西地区的优势种;9个样本鉴定为CBS J;9个样本鉴定为CBS N;另有3个样本分别鉴定为CBS O,CBS F和Armillaria mellea。其中CBS L、CBS N、CBS O首次在湖北地区报道,扩大了这3个生物种的分布范围。本研究为了解鄂西地区蜜环菌的资源情况提供基础数据,对天麻生产蜜环菌菌种选育具有重要的参考价值。

我国蜜环菌分类单元间菌索的相互作用

蜜环菌菌索是天麻生长的主要营养来源,而蜜环菌生物种菌索之间可能存在种间相互作用,因此天麻栽培时蜜环菌种的混用可能对天麻的产量产生影响。为揭示我国蜜环菌分类单元间菌索的相互作用,以我国8个蜜环菌分类单元为研究对象,通过研究其共同培养时整体及单侧菌索的生长速率和单位长度内生长尖端个数来研究其菌索间的作用特性。结果表明：两者间相互拮抗的有CBS D-CBS F;仅有一个蜜环菌菌索未受到影响或受到协同作用的有：CBS A-CBS H中的CBS A、CBS F-CBS J中的CBS J、CBS A-CBS F中的CBS A、CBS A-CBS N中的CBS A、CBS F-CBS M中的CBS M、CBS J-CBS M中的CBS M、CBS B-CBS J中的CBS B;组合中两种蜜环菌菌索靠近侧协同生长的有：CBS A-CBS M;组合中对两者靠近的区域具有优势的有：CBS A-CBS B中的CBS B、CBS A-CBS J中的CBS J、CBS B-CBS F中的CBS F、CBS D-CBS H中的CBS H、CBS D-CBS N中的CBS N和CBS F-CBS M中的CBS F。本研究的开展为我国蜜环菌的鉴定、天麻栽培用蜜环菌种的选用提供理论指导。     

大兴安岭和长白山地区蜜环菌生物种的研究

New species and new combinations in the yeast genera Kregervanrija gen. nov., Saturnispora and Candida

Analysis of nucleotide sequences from the domains 1 and 2 of the large-subunit rDNA demonstrated species of the Pichia fluxuum clade to be phylogenetically isolated, and domains 1 and 2 and internal transcribed spacer rDNA sequence analyses of strains phenotypically identified as P. fluxuum resulted in the discovery of three new species. From this work, the following new genus, new species, and new combinations are proposed: Kregervanrija gen. nov.; type species Kregervanrija fluxuum comb. nov. (type strain NRRL YB-4273, CBS 2287); Kregervanrija delftensis comb. nov. (type strain NRRL Y-7119, CBS 2614); Kregervanrija pseudodelftensis sp. nov. (type strain NRRL Y-5494, CBS 10105); Saturnispora besseyi comb. nov. (NRRL YB-4711, CBS 6343); Saturnispora mendoncae sp. nov. (type strain NRRL Y-11515, CBS 5620); and Candida abiesophila sp. nov. (type strain NRRL Y-11514, CBS 5366).     

Six new anamorphic ascomycetous yeasts near Candida tanzawaensis

Six new species of the yeast genus Candida are described from their unique nucleotide sequences in the D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA. Five of these species form a clade with Candida tanzawaensis, and the sixth is basal to this group. The new species and their sources of isolation are the following: Candida ambrosiae (type strain NRRL YB-1316, CBS 8844), from insect frass, rotted wood and mushroom fruiting bodies; Candida canberraensis (type strain NRRL YB-2417, CBS 8846), from soil; Candida caryicola (type strain NRRL YB-1499, CBS 8847), from a pignut hickory tree; Candida prunicola (type strain NRRL YB-869, CBS 8848), from exuded gum of a black cherry tree; Candida pyralidae (type strain NRRL Y-27085, CBS 5035), from insect frass; Candida xylopsoci (type strain NRRL Y-27066, CBS 6037), from insect frass.     

Metschnikowia santaceciliae,Candida hawaiiana,and Candida kipukae,three new yeast species associated with insects of tropical morning glory

A new haplontic heterothallic species of Metschnikowia and two related asexual yeast species were discovered in morning glory flowers and associated insects. Metschnikowia santaceciliae came from Conotelus (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) and other insect species associated with flowers of Ipomoea indica (purple morph) in Costa Rica. Candida hawaiiana and Candida kipukae were found in I. indica (syn. I. acuminata) and its insects in Hawai'i, and the former was also isolated in a specimen of Conotelus collected on Merremia tuberosa (Convolvulaceae) in Costa Rica. The three species have nearly identical physiological profiles, typical of the genus Metschnikowia. The sequences of the D1/D2 domains of their large subunit ribosomal DNA confirm that the species belong to the Metschnikowia clade, even though they share a very low degree of inter-relatedness. M. santaceciliae is a sister species to Metschnikowia continentalis. C. kipukae is a basal member of the large-spored Metschnikowia subclade, and C. hawaiiana has a weak affinity to Metschnikowia agaves. Two of the three species appear to be endemic. The type cultures are: Metschnikowia santaceciliae, strains UWO(PS)01-517a1=CBS 9148=NRRL Y-27475 (h(+, holotype) and UWO(PS)01-520a1=CBS 9149=NRRL Y-27476 (h-, isotype); Candida hawaiiana, strain UWO(PS)91-698.3=CBS 9146=NRRL Y-27473; Candida kipukae, strain UWO(PS)00-669.2=CBS 9147=NRRL Y-27474.     

Candida dajiaensis sp. nov., Candida yuanshanicus sp. nov., Candida jianshihensis sp. nov., and Candida sanyiensis sp. nov., four anamorphic, ascomycetous yeast species isolated from soil in Taiwan

Nine anamorphic, ascomycetous yeast strains belonging to the Pichia anomala clade were recovered from forest soil in 2006 in Taiwan. The nine yeast strains represent four novel yeast species based on the sequences of their D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and their physiological characteristics. The scientific names of Candida dajiaensis sp. nov., Candida yuanshanicus sp. nov., Candida jianshihensis sp. nov., and Candida sanyiensis sp. nov. are proposed for these novel yeast species. The type strains are C. dajiaensis SM11S03(T) (=CBS 10590(T)=BCRC 23099(T)), C. yuanshanicus SY3S02(T) (=CBS 10589(T)=BCRC 23100(T)), C. jianshihensis SM8S04(T) (=CBS 10591(T)=BCRC 23096(T)), and C. sanyiensis SA1S06(T) (=CBS 10592(T)=BCRC 23094(T)). Sequence analysis of the D1/D2 of the LSU rRNA gene revealed that the three species, C. dajiaensis, C. yuanshanicus and Pichia onychis, shared a separate branch in the phylogenetic tree, C. jianshihensis is phylogenetically related to Candida ulmi and Pichia alni, and the phylogenetically closest relative of C. sanyiensis is Pichia populi.
