Tartumycetes Tedersoo class. nov.

Type order.

Tartumycetales Tedersoo .

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on a diagnostic nucleotide signature in LSU D 4 (positions 1439–1453 in type species and 1404–1418 in S. cerevisiae gatgccgcgtcgaac, one mismatch allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Tartumycota, covering sequences EUK 1186157 , EUK 1200073 , EUK 1186162 , EUK 1123648 , EUK 1138300 , OQ 702816, ON 754309, UDB 028835 and HQ 191300 (Fig. 1 ).

Notes.

Recognized based on eDNA and single-cell sequences only. Currently harbors Tartumycetales (ord. 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.
