Sedimentomastigaceae Tedersoo fam. nov.

Type genus.

Sedimentomastix Tedersoo .

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on diagnostic nucleotide signature in SSU V 9 (positions 1672–1686 in S. cerevisiae ggcctccggattgat; no mismatch allowed) and LSU D 2 (positions 524–538 in type species and 460–474 in S. cerevisiae ttggtattttgggtg; three mismatches allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Sedimentomastigales, covering sequences EUK 0319782 , EUK 0574067 , EUK 0574066 , EUK 1152060 , and EUK 1191154 (Fig. 1 ).

Notes.

Recognized based on eDNA sequences only. Currently harbors Sedimentomastix (gen. nov.).

Figures

Figure 1. Maximum Likelihood SSU- 5.8 S-LSU phylogram indicating placement of novel lineages in the fungal kingdom as highlighted in a coloured shade and red font. Previously described taxonomic clades are collapsed. All branches of Sumavosporidiomycetes and Gelotisporidiomycetes are shortened two-fold. Poorly supported branches with bootstrap values below 95 % / 99 % are indicated in blue. The original tree with bootstrap values and uncollapsed branches is indicated in Suppl. material 1.
