sp. nov., from vineyard soil of Alentejo (Portugal) Free

Abstract

This study describes a novel fungal species belonging to the genus . During a previous work focusing on metalaxyl degradation by strains, two isolates from vineyard soil samples collected in the Alentejo region, south Portugal, were identified as a putative novel species based on combined molecular and MALDI-TOF MS data. This new species is described here using a polyphasic approach that combines morphology, internal transcribed spacer of ribosomal DNA (ITS) and 28S ribosomal DNA (LSU) sequence data analysis and proteomic profiling by MALDI-TOF MS. Phenotypic and molecular data enabled this novel species to be clearly distinguished from other species with results of combined ITS+LSU analysis showing that the species is related to and . Therefore, from the results of morphological and molecular analyses, isolates MUM 10.262 and MUM 10.263 seem to represent a new species and the name sp. nov. is proposed, with the ex-type strain MUM 10.262 (=CCMI 1100=CBS 128763).
