Sarocladium species are frequently associated with grasses as saprobes, parasites, and mutualistic endophytes. A species of Sarocladium (anamorphic Hypocreales) was isolated as endophytic fungus from the coastal grass Spinifex littoreus (Poaceae).
According to characterization by LSU and ITS rDNA sequences and culture morphology and micromorphology, the species differed from the species hitherto described in Sarocladium. A key to the known species of Sarocladium is given.
Sarocladium spinificis is proposed as a new species. LSU rDNA sequences and conidiophore branching and conidium size are useful characters for distinguishing between species of Sarocladium.
帚枝霉属物种常与禾本科植物相关联,作为腐生菌、寄生菌和共生内生菌存在。从海岸草类植物滨刺麦(禾本科)中分离出一种帚枝霉属(无性型肉座菌目)的内生真菌。
根据 LSU 和 ITS rDNA 序列以及培养形态和微观形态特征,该物种与帚枝霉属中迄今已描述的物种不同。给出了帚枝霉属已知物种的检索表。
提出滨刺麦帚枝霉为新物种。LSU rDNA 序列、分生孢子梗分支和分生孢子大小是区分帚枝霉属物种的有用特征。
