Two novel species of section from Thai coffee beans Free

Abstract

Two novel species of section from Thai coffee beans are described as sp. nov. and sp. nov. Their taxonomic status was determined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach with phenotypic (morphology and extrolite profiles) and molecular (-tubulin, internal transcribed spacer and calmodulin gene sequences) characteristics. sp. nov. is a uniseriate species with a similar morphology to and , but producing smaller conidia (2–5 μm). sp. nov. produced neoxaline, secalonic acid D and F, and aculeacins. sp. nov. is a biseriate species similar to and , but produces abundant sclerotia and some unique indol-alkaloids. The type strain of sp. nov. is CBS 121057 (=IBT 28362) and the type strain of sp. nov. is CBS 121060 (=IBT 29077).
