The anaerobic gut fungi (AGF; phylum Neocallimastigomycota) reside in the alimentary tracts of herbivores. Multiple novel, yet-uncultured AGF taxa have just lately been recognized in culture-independent range surveys.

Phylogenetic relationships among false truffle genera of Paxillaceae- Alpova, Melanogaster, Neoalpova, and Paralpova, gen. nov
A phylogenetic evaluation of nuc rDNA inside transcribed spacer area ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS), nuc rDNA 28S domains D1-D2 (28S), and the area between conserved domains 6 and 7 of RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2) from a number of species of Alpova and Melanogaster revealed 4 main clades, proposed right here as distinct genera: Melanogaster, Alpova s. str. containing the sort… Continue reading
