Pantelleriales Tedersoo ord. nov.

Type family.

Pantelleriaceae Tedersoo .

Diagnosis.

Distinguishable from other fungi based on diagnostic nucleotide signature in SSU V 7 (positions 1389–1408 in S. cerevisiae ctatcgacgtwtagtcgatg; no mismatch allowed). Forms a monophyletic, least inclusive clade in Pantelleriomycetes, covering sequences EUK 1200019 , EUK 1137930 , EUK 1120813 , and EUK 1700280 (Fig. 1 ).

Notes.

Recognized based on eDNA sequences only. Currently includes Pantelleriaceae (fam. nov.) and potential family-level groups represented by sequences EUK 1700280 (forest soil in MI, USA), EUK 1217356 (lake sediment in Brazil), EUK 1138063 (moss sample in Estonia), EUK 1138061 (wasteland soil in Estonia), EUK 0348101 (forest soil in the Canary Islands), EUK 0348102 (desert soil in Oman), EUK 0348062 (desert soil in Qatar), EUK 0348068 (grassland soil in Bangladesh), EUK 0348055 ( woodland soil in Ghana), EUK 0348090 (shrubland soil in Argentina), and EUK 1120813 (lake sediment in Ethiopia).

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.
