Species of are important opportunistic fungal pathogens in the order that are isolated from various sources such as soil, indoor air, food products, feces, and decaying vegetables. In recent years, species of have become an emerging causative agent of invasive mucormycosis. In Europe and USA, are the second and third most common causal fungus of mucormycosis, respectively. Thus, the aim of this study was to survey the diversity of species of hidden in poorly studied hosts, such as invertebrates, in Korea. Eight strains were isolated from invertebrate samples. Based on morphology, physiology, and phylogenetic analyses of ITS and LSU rDNA sequence data, the strains were identified as , , , and a novel species, sp. nov. is characterized by a variable columellae, sporangiophores arising solitarily or up to three at one place from stolons, and slow growth on MEA and PDA at all temperatures tested. The new species grows best at 30 and 35 °C and has a maximum growth temperature of 40 °C. Detailed descriptions, illustrations, and a phylogenetic tree are provided.
毛霉目真菌是重要的机会性真菌病原体,可从土壤、室内空气、食品、粪便和腐烂蔬菜等各种来源分离得到。近年来,毛霉目真菌已成为侵袭性毛霉病的新兴病原体。在欧洲和美国,分别是毛霉病的第二和第三常见致病真菌。因此,本研究的目的是调查韩国未充分研究的宿主(如无脊椎动物)中隐藏的毛霉目真菌的多样性。从无脊椎动物样本中分离出8株毛霉目真菌菌株。基于形态学、生理学以及ITS和LSU rDNA序列数据的系统发育分析,这些菌株被鉴定为、、以及一个新物种,新种。新种的特征是具可变的囊轴、孢囊梗单独产生或从匍匐菌丝在一处多达三根一起产生,并且在所有测试温度下在MEA和PDA上生长缓慢。新物种在30和35°C时生长最佳,最高生长温度为40°C。提供了详细的描述、插图和系统发育树。
